     5.   Severance.  In the event that VSC ceases to use the services of
Cornish and/or Howard or terminates this agreement other than for cause, VSC
will reimburse ATI $40,000 as severance for Cornish if Cornish's services are
no longer used or the agreement is terminated and $21,000 as severance for
