He=E2=80=99s open to helping us modify or exit the lease if = that=E2=80=99s our wish by marketing one or both spaces. Remember our = location comprises two retail spots that were combined. He seems pretty = confident but who knows how long it would take. We would have to decide = what we want to do. I think we should put the search for a new space on = hold and tell the landlord to go ahead and try to rent the space. Right = now, we always have TMR as a fallback. On the subject of our group insurance, as I mentioned its up for renewal = June 1 and we are looking at premium increases in the range of 35%. As = you know, the company pays 40% and the employee pays 60%. In the = interim, since corporate is looking at introducing a broader program of = benefits which hopefully will result in lower insurance costs for the = employee, we are thinking of increasing the company split to 50% to help = offset some of the higher cost. Thoughts?
