In connection with the above request, the Registrants hereby acknowledge that:

 

    should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

    the Registrants may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Please advise Adam K. Brandt of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP, our outside counsel, of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement by telephone at (614) 464-6426 or by facsimile at (614) 719-4636.
