                                   ARTICLE IV

              SHORT TERM RESOURCE COMMITMENT AND ENERGY UTILIZATION

         4.1 Availability.

                  (a) Each of Oglethorpe Power's Short Term Resources shall be
deemed to be available during each Hour of each Day of each Week during the Term
at the respective then current Resource Capacity of such Short Term Resource, as
long as Schedule A is effective under this Agreement. The deemed availability of
a given Short Term Resource shall change automatically from time to time during
the Term to reflect any recall of the Short Term Resources pursuant to Section
4.8.

                  (b) Commencing upon the effective date of Schedule A's
termination under this Agreement, Oglethorpe Power may no longer at any time
schedule any energy utilization from the Short Term Resources.

         4.2 Energy Utilization Schedules. Oglethorpe Power shall provide
Georgia Power or its agent on or before 9:30 a.m. (Operating Time) of each Day,
a schedule of Oglethorpe Power's anticipated utilization for each Hour during
the immediately following Day from each Short Term Resource, subject to the
provisions of this Section 4.2 and Sections 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 concerning minimum
utilization notice, minimum utilization duration, and maximum utilization Hours.
If Oglethorpe Power provides more than one (1) schedule for its anticipated
utilization of the Short Term Resources for the immediately following Day, the
schedule last received by Georgia Power or its agent on or before 9:30 a.m.
(Operating Time) shall be deemed the effective schedule and all previous
schedules submitted for such Day shall be deemed ineffective. Georgia Power
shall use reasonable best efforts to notify Oglethorpe Power that such
utilization schedule has been deemed ineffective as soon as practicable
following such event.

         4.3      Changes to Utilization Schedules.

                  (a) If Oglethorpe Power has submitted a valid utilization
schedule for one or more Short Term Resources pursuant to Section 4.2 for a
given Day, Oglethorpe Power may make changes to its schedule of utilization from
the Short Term Resources for such given Day from time to time during such Day,
in Oglethorpe Power's discretion, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.3
and of Sections 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 concerning minimum utilization notice, minimum
utilization duration, and maximum utilization Hours.

                  (b) Oglethorpe Power shall use good faith efforts to notify
Georgia Power or its agent of such changes as soon as practicable after
Oglethorpe Power decides to make any such changes. Such notices shall contain
information regarding which Short Term Resource Oglethorpe Power wishes to add
to or delete from its utilization schedule for the Short Term Resources during
each Hour affected by such changes. Except as required in Section 4.3(c), if
Oglethorpe Power notifies Georgia Power of the intent to add or delete more than
one (1) Short Term Resource in any given Hour, such notice shall be deemed
ineffective. Georgia Power shall use reasonable best efforts to notify
Oglethorpe Power that such utilization schedule has been deemed ineffective as
soon as practicable following such event.

                  (c) Oglethorpe Power shall be required to make such changes to
its energy utilization schedules from time to time during a Day to reflect any
recalls made by Georgia Power or its agent, pursuant to Section 4.8, of the
Short Term Resources. Oglethorpe Power shall make changes as and when directed
by Georgia Power or its agent. Oglethorpe Power shall be deemed to have reduced
its energy utilization schedule from such a Short Term Resource, automatically
as and when, and to such level of energy as Georgia Power or its agent deems
appropriate under the circumstances and Section 4.8 (including without
limitation zero (-0-)), whether or not Oglethorpe Power has made such changes as
aforesaid. Any changes to Oglethorpe Power's utilization schedules made or
deemed to have been made pursuant to this Section 4.3(c) shall be treated as
"energy scheduled . . . but not delivered" pursuant to Section 4.8(c).

         4.4      Minimum Utilization Notice.

                  (a) Oglethorpe Power must give Georgia Power or its agent at
least twenty (20) minutes' prior notice that Oglethorpe Power wishes to utilize
energy from a Short Term Resource during an Hour in order to actually utilize
energy from such Short Term Resource during such Hour.

                  (b) Once Oglethorpe Power has given Georgia Power or its agent
notice pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3 that Oglethorpe Power wishes to utilize
energy from a given Short Term Resource in a given Hour, Oglethorpe Power may
delete such Short Term Resource from its utilization schedule for such Hour only
until twenty (20) minutes prior to such Hour.

                  (c) Oglethorpe Power's schedule of energy utilization from all
Short Term Resources during a given Hour shall become final at twenty (20)
minutes prior to such Hour and shall not thereafter be subject to change by
Oglethorpe Power.

                  (d) If Oglethorpe Power gives Georgia Power or its agent
notice pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3 that Oglethorpe Power wishes to schedule
energy utilization from a given Short Term Resource upon less than twenty (20)
minutes' prior notice, then such energy utilization notice shall be deemed
ineffective as to such Short Term Resource for such Hour (even if Oglethorpe
Power complied with the provisions of Sections 4.5 and 4.6 concerning minimum
utilization duration and maximum utilization Hours). Georgia Power shall use
reasonable best efforts to notify Oglethorpe Power that such utilization
schedule has been deemed ineffective as soon as practicable following such
event.

         4.5 Minimum Utilization Duration. If any Short Term Resource is
utilized during a given Day, then Oglethorpe Power must always schedule energy
utilization from each such Short Term Resource at no less than six (6)
consecutive Hours. If Oglethorpe Power gives Georgia Power or its agent notice
pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3 that Oglethorpe Power wishes to schedule any
Short Term Resource such that such Short Term Resource is being utilized less
than six (6) consecutive Hours, then Oglethorpe Power shall nevertheless be
deemed to have scheduled energy utilization from such Short Term Resource for a
period of six (6) consecutive Hours starting with the first Hour scheduled for
such Short Term Resource in said notice. Georgia Power shall use reasonable best
efforts to notify Oglethorpe Power that such utilization schedule has been
deemed changed as soon as practicable following such event.

         4.6 Maximum Utilization Hours. Oglethorpe Power may not schedule energy
utilization from the Short Term Resources in excess of 2500 Hours during the
Term of this Agreement. For purposes of determining such 2500 Hours of maximum
energy utilization, if Oglethorpe Power schedules one (1) or more Short Term
Resource in a given Hour, such Hour shall count as one (1) Hour of energy
utilization. If Oglethorpe Power gives Georgia Power or its agent notice
pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3 that Oglethorpe Power wishes to schedule any
Short Term Resource such that the Short Term Resources are being utilized in
excess of 2500 Hours during the Term of this Agreement, such notice shall be
ineffective. Georgia Power shall use reasonable best efforts to notify
Oglethorpe Power that such utilization schedule has been deemed ineffective as
soon as practicable following such event.

         4.7 Energy Utilization. For purposes of calculating both the Monthly
Energy Charge for each of the Short Term Resources and the "Actual Hourly
Resource Utilization" (as such term is defined and used in the RCSA) associated
with each of the Short Term Resources, Oglethorpe Power shall be deemed to have
utilized during each Hour all energy either:

                  (1) shown on Oglethorpe Power's final energy utilization
         schedule (under Section 4.4(c)) during each such Hour for such Short
         Term Resource, except as such energy utilization schedule may have been
         deemed ineffective under Section 4.2, 4.3(b), 4.4(d) or 4.6.

                  (2) deemed to have been scheduled by Oglethorpe Power during
         each such Hour from such Short Term Resource under Section 4.3(c) or
         4.5.

         4.8 Recall of Short Term Resources.

                  (a) If Georgia Power or its agent determines in its sole
discretion that it is necessary or appropriate to interrupt (i) Georgia Power
retail interruptible load (retail electric service currently provided pursuant
to Tariffs IS-Standard-1 and IS-SBG-1 on file with the Georgia Public Service
Commission), or (ii) firm sale obligations executed prior to this Agreement,
then the Short Term Resources may, in Georgia Power's sole discretion, be
interrupted upon thirty (30) minutes' prior notice. Such notice shall specify
the event(s) used to determine the recall.

                  (b) Oglethorpe Power agrees that, in such event, it will
immediately change (or allow the change of by Georgia Power or its agent) its
energy utilization from the Short Term Resources, as provided in Section 4.3. In
addition, in such event, Oglethorpe Power agrees that it will take any and all
actions necessary or appropriate to accomplish the foregoing including, without
limitation, shedding load served by the Short Term Resources. Oglethorpe Power
may recommence serving load shed by Oglethorpe Power pursuant to this Section
4.8 when Georgia Power or its agent advises Oglethorpe Power that it is
appropriate to do so in light of system security needs.

                  (c) Georgia Power agrees that, if the Short Term Resources are
reduced pursuant to this Section 4.8 such that the Monthly ratio of actual
energy delivered during such Month, in megawatt-hours (MWH), divided by the sum
of the actual energy delivered during such Month plus the energy scheduled
during such Month but not delivered due to interruption pursuant to this Section
4.8, excluding increases in scheduled utilization pursuant to Section 4.3 in an
Hour in which the Southern Control Area has declared a System Alert Level 1-A or
higher (as determined in accordance with the Southern Sub-Region Security
Coordinator Agreement), expressed in megawatt-hours (MWH), is less than
ninety-five one-hundredths (0.95), then Georgia Power shall give Oglethorpe
Power a credit in the following Monthly invoice in an amount for the Short Term
Resources that is determined in accordance with Part 5 of Rate Schedule A.

         4.9 Delivery of and Payment for Energy. Georgia Power's and Oglethorpe
Power's respective rights and obligations concerning the delivery of and payment
for final energy utilization scheduled by Oglethorpe Power from the Short Term
Resources during any given Hour of the Term shall be as set forth in Article
III.

         4.10     Hourly Energy Rate Information Obligations.

                  (a) By 5:00 p.m. (Operating Time) of each Day in which
Oglethorpe Power has submitted a valid schedule for utilization of energy from
any of the Short Term Resources pursuant to Sections 4.2 through 4.6, Georgia
Power will provide, to Oglethorpe Power, estimates of the expected Hourly Energy
Rates for each Hour of the following Day together with an assessment of the
probability of a recall pursuant to Section 4.8 during the following Day. At
least thirty (30) minutes prior to each Hour of such following Day, Georgia
Power will provide, to Oglethorpe Power, the Hourly Energy Rates effective for
such Hour, provided such Hour is not subject to interruption pursuant to Section
4.8.

                  (b) Oglethorpe Power agrees to treat such Hourly Energy Rates
and estimates as confidential data consistent with the provisions of Article XV
of the RCSA. Specifically, Oglethorpe Power shall not disclose such Hourly
Energy Rates or estimates to any other person, agent or entity, including, but
not limited to, LG&E Energy Marketing, Morgan Stanley Capital Group, Inc. or any
other power marketer, provided, however, Oglethorpe Power may disclose actual
Hourly Energy Rates associated with the final energy utilization to the EMCs to
the extent necessary for billing and audit purposes after receipt of the invoice
rendered pursuant to Section 6.2. Oglethorpe Power will discuss with Georgia
Power the form and substance of such Hourly Energy Rates information that
Oglethorpe Power intends to disclose to the EMCs prior to such disclosure;
provided, however, Oglethorpe Power has no obligation to discuss disclosure of
such information when such disclosure occurs during an audit by an EMC of a bill
rendered by Oglethorpe Power to such EMC.

pursuant to Section 5.2 or 5.3 that Oglethorpe Power wishes to commit the LT
Steam Resource following the expiration of fewer than twenty-four (24) Hours,
then such commitment notice shall be ineffective as to the LT Steam Resource
(even if Oglethorpe Power complied with the provisions of Section 5.4 concerning
minimum commitment notice). Georgia Power shall use reasonable best efforts to
notify Oglethorpe Power that such commitment schedule has been deemed
ineffective as soon as practicable following such event.

         5.7 LT Peaking Resource Deemed Committed. The LT Peaking Resource shall
be deemed committed at all times during the Term, as long as Schedule B has not
terminated pursuant to this Agreement. Sections 5.2 through 5.6 shall not apply
to the LT Peaking Resource.

         5.8      Energy Utilization Schedules.

                  (a) Oglethorpe Power shall provide Georgia Power or its agent
on or before 1:30 p.m. (Operating Time) of each Day, a schedule of Oglethorpe
Power's anticipated energy utilization during the immediately following Day from
the committed LT Resources. If Oglethorpe Power provides more than one (1)
schedule for its anticipated utilization of the LT Steam Resource for the
immediately following one (1) Day, the schedule last received by Georgia Power
or its agent on or before 1:30 p.m. (Operating Time) shall be deemed the
effective schedule and all previous schedules submitted for such Day shall be
deemed ineffective.

                  (b) The energy utilization schedules provided by Oglethorpe
Power for each Day pursuant to Section 5.8(a) shall contain information
regarding the amount of energy, in megawatt-hours per Hour (MWH/H), that
Oglethorpe Power expects to utilize from each of the committed LT Resources
during each Quarter Hour of such Day.

                  (c) Each of Oglethorpe Power's energy utilization schedules
shall be consistent on an Hour by Hour basis with Oglethorpe Power's then
current commitment schedule of the LT Steam Resource for such Hour. Oglethorpe
Power may not include the LT Steam Resource in an energy utilization schedule
for a given Hour of a given Day, if the LT Steam Resource has not been properly
committed by Oglethorpe Power for such Hour pursuant to Sections 5.2 through
5.6.

                  (d) If Oglethorpe Power gives Georgia Power or its agent
notice pursuant to this Section 5.8 that Oglethorpe Power wishes to schedule
energy utilization from the LT Steam Resource for a given Hour, when the LT
Steam Resource has not been properly committed by Oglethorpe Power for such Hour
pursuant to Sections 5.2 through 5.6, then such energy utilization notice shall
be ineffective as to the LT Steam Resource for such Hour (even if Oglethorpe
Power complied with the provisions of Sections 5.10, 5.11, 5.12 and 5.13
concerning minimum utilization notice, minimum utilization levels, maximum
utilization levels and ramping). Georgia Power shall use reasonable best efforts
to notify Oglethorpe Power that such utilization schedule has been deemed
ineffective as soon as practicable following such event.

         5.9 Changes to Utilization Schedules.

                  (a) Oglethorpe Power may make changes to its schedule of
energy utilization from the committed LT Resources for a given Day from time to
time during such Day, in Oglethorpe Power's discretion, subject to the
provisions of this Section 5.9 and of Sections 5.10, 5.11, 5.12 and 5.13
concerning minimum utilization notice, minimum utilization levels, maximum
utilization levels and ramping.

                  (b) Oglethorpe Power shall use good faith efforts to notify
Georgia Power or its agent of such changes as soon as practicable after
Oglethorpe Power decides to make any such changes. Such notices shall contain
information regarding the increases or decreases in the amount of energy, in
megawatt-hours per Hour (MWH/H), that Oglethorpe Power expects to utilize from
each of the committed LT Resources during each Quarter Hour affected by such
changes.

                  (c) Oglethorpe Power shall be required to make such changes to
its energy utilization schedules from time to time during a Day to reflect any
changes made by Georgia Power or its agent, pursuant to Section 5.15, to the
Load Carrying Capability of a LT Resource. Oglethorpe Power shall make such
changes as and when directed by Georgia Power or its agent. Oglethorpe Power
shall be deemed to have reduced its energy utilization schedule from such a LT
Resource, automatically as and when, and to such level of energy as Georgia
Power or its agent deems appropriate under the circumstances and Section 5.15
(including without limitation zero (-0-)), whether or not Oglethorpe Power has
made such changes as aforesaid.

                  (d) Oglethorpe Power's energy utilization schedules, as
changed (or as deemed to have been changed) by Oglethorpe Power from time to
time pursuant to this Section 5.9, shall always continue to be consistent on an
Hour by Hour basis with Oglethorpe Power's then current commitment schedule of
the LT Steam Resource. Oglethorpe Power may not pursuant to this Section 5.9 add
the LT Steam Resource to any energy utilization schedule for a given Hour of a
given Day, if the LT Steam Resource has not been properly committed by
Oglethorpe Power for such Hour pursuant to Sections 5.2 through 5.6.

                  (e) If Oglethorpe Power gives Georgia Power or its agent
notice pursuant to this Section 5.9 that Oglethorpe Power wishes to schedule
energy utilization from the LT Steam Resource for a given Hour, when the LT
Steam Resource has not been properly committed by Oglethorpe Power for such Hour
pursuant to Sections 5.2 through 5.6, then such energy utilization notice shall
be ineffective as to the LT Steam Resource for such Hour (even if Oglethorpe
Power complied with the provisions of Sections 5.10, 5.11, 5.12 and 5.13
concerning minimum utilization notice, minimum utilization levels, maximum
utilization levels and ramping). Georgia Power shall use reasonable best efforts
to notify Oglethorpe Power that such utilization schedule has been deemed
ineffective as soon as practicable following such event.

         5.10     Minimum Utilization Notice.

                  (a) Oglethorpe Power must give Georgia Power or its agent at
least one (1) Quarter Hour's prior notice that Oglethorpe Power wishes to
utilize energy from a LT Resource during a Quarter Hour in order to actually
utilize energy from such LT Resource during such Quarter Hour.

                  (b) Once Oglethorpe Power has given Georgia Power or its agent
notice pursuant to Section 5.8 or 5.9 that Oglethorpe Power wishes to utilize
energy from a given committed LT Resource in a given Quarter Hour at a given
level of energy, Oglethorpe Power may increase or decrease the level of energy
at which such LT Resource is to be utilized during such Quarter Hour only until
one (1) Quarter Hour prior to such Quarter Hour.

                  (c) Oglethorpe Power's schedule of energy utilization from all
committed LT Resources during a given Quarter Hour shall become final at the
commencement of the immediately preceding Quarter Hour and shall not thereafter
be subject to increase or decrease by Oglethorpe Power.

                  (d) If Oglethorpe Power gives Georgia Power or its agent
notice pursuant to Section 5.8 or 5.9 that Oglethorpe Power wishes to schedule
energy utilization from a given LT Resource upon less than one (1) Quarter
Hour's prior notice, then such energy utilization notice shall be ineffective as
to such LT Resource for such Quarter Hour (even if Oglethorpe Power complied
with the provisions of Sections 5.11, 5.12 and 5.13 concerning minimum
utilization levels, maximum utilization levels and ramping). Georgia Power shall
use reasonable best efforts to notify Oglethorpe Power that such utilization
schedule has been deemed ineffective as soon as practicable following such
event.

                  (e) If Oglethorpe Power gives Georgia Power or its agent
notice pursuant to Section 5.8 or 5.9 that Oglethorpe Power wishes to schedule
energy utilization from the LT Peaking Resource in a given Quarter Hour (Y) that
is not equal to the energy utilization scheduled in the immediately previous
Quarter Hour (X), then for the immediately following Quarter Hour (Z),
Oglethorpe Power must schedule the identical utilization as scheduled for the
given Quarter Hour (Y). If in such following Quarter Hour (Z) Oglethorpe Power
schedules energy utilization from the LT Peaking Resource that is not identical
to that scheduled for the given Quarter Hour (Y), then Oglethorpe Power shall
nevertheless be deemed to have scheduled energy utilization from the LT Peaking
Resource in such following Quarter Hour (Z) at such level of energy equal to the
given Quarter Hour's (Y's) utilization schedule. Georgia Power shall use
reasonable best efforts to notify Oglethorpe Power that such utilization has
been deemed scheduled as soon as practicable following such event.

         5.11     Minimum Utilization Levels.

                  (a) If the LT Steam Resource is committed during a given Hour,
then Oglethorpe Power must always schedule energy utilization from the LT Steam
Resource at no less than its then current Minimum Operating Level. If the LT
Steam Resource is committed during an Hour, but Oglethorpe Power does not
schedule energy utilization from the LT Steam Resource during each Quarter Hour
or schedules energy utilization from the LT Steam Resource at less than its then
current Minimum Operating Level, then Oglethorpe Power shall nevertheless be
deemed to have scheduled energy utilization from the LT Steam Resource at its
then current Minimum Operating Level. Georgia Power shall use reasonable best
efforts to notify Oglethorpe Power that such utilization has been deemed
scheduled as soon as practicable following such event.

                  (b)  This Section 5.11 shall not apply to the LT Peaking
Resource.

         5.12 Maximum Utilization Levels. Oglethorpe Power may not schedule
energy utilization from any committed LT Resource during any Quarter Hour at any
level of energy in excess of the then current Load Carrying Capability of such
LT Resource. If Oglethorpe Power schedules energy utilization from a given LT
Resource during a Quarter Hour at a level of energy that is in excess of the
then current Load Carrying Capability of such LT Resource, then Oglethorpe Power
shall nevertheless be deemed to have scheduled energy utilization from such LT
Resource at such level of energy equal to the then current Load Carrying
Capability of such LT Resource. Georgia Power shall use reasonable best efforts
to notify Oglethorpe Power that such utilization has been deemed scheduled as
soon as practicable following such event.

         5.13     LT Steam Resource Ramping.

         (a) During the first (1st) Hour after the commencement of a commitment
of a LT Steam Resource pursuant to and as allowed by Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and
5.6, Oglethorpe Power must schedule energy utilization from the LT Steam
Resource at a level of energy that is equal to the then current Minimum
Operating Level of the LT Steam Resource. If Oglethorpe Power schedules energy
utilization from the LT Steam Resource during such an Hour at a level of energy
greater than or less than such level of energy, then Oglethorpe Power shall
nevertheless be deemed to have scheduled energy utilization from the LT Steam
Resource at such level of energy for such Hour. Georgia Power shall use
reasonable best efforts to notify Oglethorpe Power that such utilization has
been deemed scheduled as soon as practicable following such event.

         (b) During the first (1st) Hour after the commencement of a
decommitment of the LT Steam Resource pursuant to and as allowed by Sections
5.2, 5.3 and 5.5, Oglethorpe Power must schedule energy utilization from the LT
Steam Resource at a level of energy that is equal to the then current Minimum
Operating Level of the LT Steam Resource. If Oglethorpe Power schedules energy
utilization from the LT Steam Resource during such an Hour at a level of energy
less than or greater than such level of energy, then Oglethorpe Power shall
nevertheless be deemed to have scheduled energy utilization from the LT Steam
Resource at such level of energy for such Hour. Georgia Power shall use
reasonable best efforts to notify Oglethorpe Power that such utilization has
been deemed scheduled as soon as practicable following such event.

         (c) During the second (2nd) Hour after the commencement of a
decommitment of the LT Steam Resource pursuant to and as allowed by Sections
5.2, 5.3 and 5.5, and thereafter unless and until the LT Steam Resource is again
committed pursuant to and as allowed by Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.6,
Oglethorpe Power may not schedule energy utilization from the LT Steam Resource
at any level of energy. If Oglethorpe Power schedules energy utilization from
the LT Steam Resource during any such Hour or Hours, then Oglethorpe Power shall
nevertheless be deemed not to have scheduled any energy utilization from the LT
Steam Resource at all for any or all of such Hours. Georgia Power shall use
reasonable best efforts to notify Oglethorpe Power that such utilization has
been deemed scheduled as soon as practicable following such event.

         (d) This Section 5.13 shall not apply to the LT Peaking Resource. 5.14
Energy Utilization. For purposes of calculating both the Monthly Energy Charge
for each of the LT Resources and the "Actual Hourly Resource Utilization"
associated with each of the LT Resources (as such term is defined and used in
the RCSA), Oglethorpe Power shall be deemed to have utilized during each Hour
the average of all energy either:

                  (1) shown on Oglethorpe Power's final energy utilization
         schedule (under Section 5.10(c)) during each Quarter Hour of such Hour
         for such LT Resource, except as such energy utilization schedule may
         have been deemed ineffective under Section 5.8(a), 5.8(d), 5.9(e) or
         5.10(d); or

                  (2) deemed to have been scheduled by Oglethorpe Power during
         each Quarter Hour of such Hour from such LT Resource under Section
         5.9(c), 5.10(e), 5.11(a), 5.12, 5.13(a), 5.13(b) or 5.13(c).

         5.15     Reduction of Load Carrying Capability.

                  (a) If Georgia Power or its agent determines in its sole
discretion that it is necessary or appropriate for the Georgia system to shed
firm territorial requirements load, determined consistent with NERC guidelines,
then the Load Carrying Capability of one (1) or more of the LT Resources that
are committed at the time of such load shedding shall automatically be reduced
by the amounts computed by Georgia Power or its agent as provided in Sections
5.15(b) and 5.15(c) until such time as Georgia Power advises Oglethorpe Power
that Oglethorpe Power can recommence serving load as provided in Section
5.15(d).

                  (b) The reduction ratio to be used in computing Oglethorpe
Power's reduction amount shall be equal to the quotient of:

                           (1) the summation of the then current Load Carrying
         Capability of each of the LT Resources that are committed at the time
         of such load shedding; divided by

                           (2)  the sum of:

                                    (i) Georgia Territorial Resource
                           Requirements at such time (not including its
                           obligations to serve Oglethorpe Power under this
                           Agreement); plus

                                    (ii) the summation determined under Section
                           5.15(b)(1).

         (c) Oglethorpe Power's aggregate reduction amount, in megawatts (MW),
shall be equal to the product of:

                           (1) the aggregate amount of load that Georgia Power
         or its agent determines in its discretion is necessary or appropriate
         for the Georgia system to shed; times

                           (2) the reduction ratio computed by Georgia Power or
                  its agent pursuant to Section 5.15(b).

The Load Carrying Capability of the one (1), of the LT Resources that are
committed at the time of such load shedding, which has the highest then current
Monthly Energy Rate, shall then automatically be reduced by the amount of such
reduction amount until the Load Carrying Capability of such LT Resource is equal
to the then current Minimum Operating Level of such LT Resource. If a portion of
such reduction amount remains unapplied, then the Load Carrying Capability of
the other LT Resource shall be automatically reduced by Georgia Power or its
agent, until all of the reduction amount has been applied. The Load Carrying
Capability of such LT Resources will be reduced below each such LT Resource's
respective Minimum Operating Level, in a manner corollary to the foregoing, if a
portion of such reduction amount remains unapplied after each of such LT
Resource's Load Carrying Capability has been reduced to such LT Resource's
Minimum Operating Level.

                  (d) Oglethorpe Power agrees that, in such event, it will
immediately change (or allow the change of by Georgia Power or its agent) its
energy utilization from the LT Resources, as provided in Section 5.9. In
addition, in such event, Oglethorpe Power agrees that it will take any and all
actions necessary or appropriate to accomplish the foregoing, including, but not
limited to, shedding load served by the LT Resources. Oglethorpe Power may
recommence serving load shed by Oglethorpe Power pursuant to this Section 5.15
when Georgia Power or its agent advises Oglethorpe Power that it is appropriate
to do so in light of system security needs.

                  (e) Georgia Power agrees that, if the Load Carrying Capability
of any one or more LT Resources is reduced pursuant to this Section 5.15, then
Georgia Power shall give Oglethorpe Power a credit in the following Monthly
invoice in an amount for each such LT Resource that is equal to the product of:

                           (1) Oglethorpe Power's aggregate reduction amount, in
                  megawatts (MW), as determined pursuant to Section 5.15(c);
                  times

                           (2)  the quotient of:

                                    (i) the Monthly Capacity Rate(s) for each of
                           the LT Resources whose Load Carrying Capability was
                           reduced pursuant to Section 5.15(c) (applied by
                           Georgia Power in portions as necessary to accommodate
                           the provisions of Section 5.15(c)), for the Month in
                           which such load shedding occurs, in dollars per
                           kilowatt-month ($/KW-Mo); divided by

                                    (ii) the number of Hours in such Month;
                           times (3) the number of Hours in the period over
                           which such load shedding occurred; times (4) one
                           thousand (1,000).

         5.16 Delivery of and Payment for Energy. Georgia Power's and Oglethorpe
Power's respective rights and obligations concerning the delivery of and payment
for energy utilization scheduled by Oglethorpe Power from the LT Resources
during any given Hour of the Term shall be as set forth in Article III.

         5.17 Emergency Decommitment. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
5.5, if all "OPC Off-System Resources" (as such term is defined and used in the
RCSA) have been interrupted pursuant to Section 8.1 of the RCSA and Oglethorpe
Power continues to have surplus energy as defined in Article XII of the RCSA,
Oglethorpe Power may decommit the LT Steam Resource on one (1) Quarter Hour's
prior notice to Georgia Power, effective at the start of any subsequent Quarter
Hour.

         5.18     RCSA Treatment.

                  (a) The LT Steam Resource shall be deemed "Qualifying
Resources - Spinning" (as such term is defined and used in Sections 11.5 and
11.6 of the RCSA).

                  (b) Fifteen (15) percent of the LT Peaking Resource shall be
deemed "Qualifying Resources - Supplemental" (as such term is defined and used
in Section 11.6 of the RCSA).

                  (c) The "Difference" utilized in the calculation of the
"Back-Up Capacity Charge" (as such terms are defined and used in Section 12.3 of
the RCSA) shall include the difference between (i) the sum of the Actual Hourly
Resource Utilization of all LT Resources, less (ii) the sum of the then current
Load Carrying Capability of all LT Resources.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                             BILLING AND COLLECTIONS

         6.3      Billing Disputes and Final Accounting.

                  (a) If Oglethorpe Power questions or contests the amount of
any payment claimed by Georgia Power to be due pursuant to this Agreement,
Oglethorpe Power may make such payment under protest and thereafter shall be
reimbursed by Georgia Power for any amount in error after the settlement of such
question or contest, in accordance with this Section 6.3; provided, however,
that no disagreement or dispute of any kind between Oglethorpe Power and Georgia
Power concerning any matter, including, without limitation, the amount of any
payment due from Oglethorpe Power or the correctness of any charge made by
Georgia Power to Oglethorpe Power, shall permit Oglethorpe Power to delay or
withhold any payment pursuant to this Agreement except as specifically otherwise
provided for in Section 6.7.

                  (b) In the event that Oglethorpe Power, by timely notice to
Georgia Power, questions or contests the correctness of any such charge or
credit, Georgia Power shall promptly review the questioned charge or credit and
shall notify Oglethorpe Power, within sixty (60) Days following receipt by
Georgia Power of such notice from Oglethorpe Power, of the amount of any error
and the amount of any payment or reimbursement that Oglethorpe Power is required
to make or is entitled to receive in respect of such alleged error. Not later
than the fifth (5th) banking Day after receipt by Oglethorpe Power of such
notice from Georgia Power as to the amount of any payment that Oglethorpe Power
is required to make, Oglethorpe Power shall make payment to Georgia Power in
immediately available funds. If Georgia Power is required to make any
reimbursement to Oglethorpe Power, Georgia Power shall notify Oglethorpe Power
of the amount of such reimbursement and the need to send an invoice to Georgia
Power for such reimbursement and make such reimbursement not later than the
fifth (5th) banking Day after Georgia Power receives an invoice from Oglethorpe
Power in the amount of such required reimbursement. Payments and reimbursements
made by either Oglethorpe Power or Georgia Power under this Section 6.3(b) shall
include interest from the later of the date the original payment was received or
the date the original payment was due until the date such payment or
reimbursement together with interest is made, which interest shall accrue in
simple interest terms per annum at the Interest Rate. Oglethorpe Power shall
have until the one hundred eightieth (180th) Day after receipt of an invoice to
question or contest the correctness of any charge or credit made to Oglethorpe
Power during such Month pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2, after which time the
correctness of all such charges and credits shall be conclusively presumed.

                  (c) If Oglethorpe Power disputes Georgia Power' resolution
under Section 6.3(b) of any question or contest by Oglethorpe Power of the
correctness of any charge or credit made to Oglethorpe Power pursuant to Section
6.1 or 6.2, then at Oglethorpe Power's request Georgia Power and Oglethorpe
Power agree to use their reasonable best efforts to achieve a mutually
acceptable solution to such dispute. In the event that either Georgia Power or
Oglethorpe Power believes that any such efforts by Georgia Power and Oglethorpe
Power have been or will be unsuccessful, then it may submit such dispute to, for
resolution by, the Joint Committee. If the Joint Committee fails to resolve such
dispute by the third (3rd) regularly scheduled meeting following the meeting at
which Georgia Power or Oglethorpe Power first submitted such dispute to the
Joint Committee, then either Oglethorpe Power or Georgia Power may submit such
dispute to, for resolution by, the respective Chief Executive Officers of
Oglethorpe Power and Georgia Power. If the Chief Executive Officers fail to
resolve such dispute within a reasonable period of time after it is submitted to
them, then either Oglethorpe Power or Georgia Power may resort to any remedy, at
law or in equity, that may be available therefor. If either Georgia Power or
Oglethorpe Power submits such dispute to the Joint Committee, then neither of
them shall thereafter have any further obligation to use its reasonable best
efforts to achieve a mutually acceptable solution as aforesaid.

                  (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
6.3, if Oglethorpe Power is then in default in respect of any payments required
to be made under this Agreement, Georgia Power may withhold such reimbursement.

                  (e) Georgia Power will provide Oglethorpe Power with such
information as is reasonably required by Oglethorpe Power in order to account
for payments made pursuant to this Section 6.3 on Oglethorpe Power's books.

         6.4 Availability of Records. Georgia Power will for each Month of the
Term, at all times prior to the end of such one hundred eighty (180) Day period
set forth in Section 6.3(b), make available to Oglethorpe Power, subject to the
confidentiality provisions of Article XV of the RCSA, and Oglethorpe Power may
audit such books and records of Georgia Power as are necessary for Oglethorpe
Power to verify the basis for and amounts of adjustments to Short Term Resource
energy utilization made pursuant to Section 4.8 and to LT Resources' Load
Carrying Capability pursuant to Section 5.15, and to calculate the Monthly
Capacity Payments and Monthly Energy Payments and thereby to verify the accuracy
of the amounts billed to Oglethorpe Power pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2. No
payment made pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI shall constitute a
waiver of any right of Oglethorpe Power under Section 6.3 to question or contest
the correctness of any charge or credit by Georgia Power or to dispute Georgia
Power's resolution of any such question or contest.

         6.5 Implementation Costs. Oglethorpe Power hereby agrees to reimburse
Georgia Power for all costs incurred by Georgia Power or its agent (except
attorney's fees) in connection with implementing this Agreement or the rates and
procedures provided for herein. Oglethorpe Power shall pay Georgia Power the
amount of such costs within ten (10) Days after Georgia Power delivers an
invoice therefor to Oglethorpe Power. The provisions of 6.2(b), 6.3, 6.4 and 6.6
shall apply to the payment and verification of such invoice. Georgia Power
agrees that Georgia Power may not duplicate its recovery of any costs both under
this Section 6.5 and under Section 16.1 of the RCSA.

6.6      Failure to Make Payments.

                  (a) If Oglethorpe Power fails to pay when due the full amounts
of any payment(s) required by Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 or 6.5 then:

                           (1) Oglethorpe Power shall have no right to any
         capacity or energy hereunder, or to exercise any of its rights under
         this Agreement; and

                           (2) if the RCSA is then in effect, the LT Schedules
         shall be deemed not to be "Qualifying Resources - Spinning" or
         "Qualifying Resources - Supplemental" and the "Difference" utilized in
         the calculation of the "Back-Up Capacity Charge" shall exclude all LT
         Schedules (as such terms are defined and used in the RCSA);

from the date such overdue payment(s) were due until Oglethorpe Power has paid
the full amounts of all such overdue payments to Georgia Power (including,
without limitation, interest) as required by said Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and
6.5.

                  (b) Georgia Power agrees that, if Oglethorpe Power pays to
Georgia Power such overdue payment(s) during the five (5) Day period allowed for
curing a failure to make payment provided for in Section 10.1(a) (including,
without limitation, interest) and undertakes to recommence making its other
payments to Georgia Power as and when due hereunder, Georgia Power will
recommence supplying capacity and energy to Oglethorpe Power hereunder no later
than the end of the five (5) Day period provided for in Section 10.1(a).

                  (c) In addition to the rights granted in Sections 6.3, 6.6(a),
and Article X, Georgia Power may take any action, at law or in equity, to
enforce this Agreement and to recover any and all unrecovered damages and
expenses and other losses, costs and liabilities (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred or suffered by Georgia Power
as a result of or in connection with any default in payment by Oglethorpe Power
under this Agreement.

         6.7      Limited Withholding of Payments.

         (a) If Oglethorpe Power questions or contests the amount of any payment
claimed by Georgia Power in any Month to be due pursuant to this Agreement,
which amount is more than twice as large as the highest amount previously
claimed by Georgia Power to be due pursuant to this Agreement in any other Month
of the Term, then Oglethorpe Power may withhold payment of the lesser of:

                  (1) the disputed portion of such amount; or

                  (2) that portion of such amount which is in excess of twice
         such highest Monthly amount previously claimed by Georgia Power to be
         due pursuant to this Agreement.

         (b) If Oglethorpe Power acquires the right under Section 6.7(a) to
withhold any portion of a payment claimed by Georgia Power to be due pursuant to
this Agreement and chooses to exercise such right, then Oglethorpe Power shall
immediately notify Georgia Power that it is questioning or contesting the
correctness of such amount and shall also nevertheless tender to Georgia Power
on a timely basis under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 that portion of such amount which
Oglethorpe Power is not permitted to withhold under Section 6.7(a). Georgia
Power and Oglethorpe Power shall then resolve such dispute in accordance with
the procedure provided in Sections 6.3(b) and 6.3(c). If Oglethorpe Power is
required pursuant to the resolution of such dispute to pay any portion of the
withheld amount to Georgia Power, then interest shall be added to the portion so
to be paid, from the date such payment was due until such payment together with
interest is paid, which interest shall accrue in simple interest terms per annum
at the Interest Rate.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                    CERTAIN CAPACITY AND ENERGY SALE MATTERS

         7.1 Service Rendered. Georgia Power shall provide and Oglethorpe Power
shall pay for capacity and energy pursuant to the Tariff, the terms of this
Agreement and the Schedules attached hereto. To the extent the terms and
conditions of the Tariff are inconsistent with those set forth in this Agreement
or in the Schedules, the provisions of this Agreement and Schedules shall
control.

         7.2 Resale. Oglethorpe Power shall have the right to resell any part or
all of the Resource Capacity or any or all of the energy scheduled by Oglethorpe
Power hereunder, to any person or entity, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. Oglethorpe Power hereby indemnifies and holds Georgia Power and
its agent harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, liabilities,
damages and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and
expenses) of any kind incurred or suffered by Georgia Power or its agent
pursuant to, as a result of or in connection with any such resale of capacity,
energy or both, except for losses, costs, liabilities, damages and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred or
suffered by Georgia Power or its agent as a direct result of any action of
Georgia Power that is not Prudent Utility Practices or of Georgia Power's or its
agents' willful misconduct. This Section 7.2 does not give Oglethorpe Power any
rights to assign or delegate this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations
hereunder, which Oglethorpe Power acknowledges that it may do only as allowed by
Section 9.2.

         7.3 Character of Transactions. The sale by Georgia Power to Oglethorpe
Power of capacity and associated energy under this Agreement does not constitute
either:

                  (1) a sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of an ownership
         interest in or to any generation facilities or resources, including
         without limitation the Units; or

                  (2) a dedication of ownership or an entitlement to the
         capacity or output of any generation facilities or resources, including
         without limitation the Units.

Furthermore, Oglethorpe Power acknowledges and agrees that Georgia Power or its
agent shall have the sole authority, which Georgia Power or its agent may
exercise in its discretion, to manage, control, operate and maintain all of the
Units. (Georgia Power acknowledges, however, that this Section 7.3 is not
intended and shall not be construed to reduce Oglethorpe Power's rights to
capacity and energy under Article II, III, IV or V.)

         7.4 Constancy of Supply.

                  (a) Georgia Power does not guarantee or warrant that Georgia
Power will supply a constant or uninterrupted supply of capacity or energy under
this Agreement. Oglethorpe Power hereby agrees that Georgia Power is not
required to make capacity available to Oglethorpe Power under this Agreement at
all times during the Term or to deliver under this Agreement a constant or
uninterrupted supply of energy.

                  (b) For actions taken pursuant to Sections 4.8 and 5.15,
Georgia Power shall not be in breach of this Agreement by reason of, and shall
have no liability whatsoever to Oglethorpe Power for, any failure to make
capacity available hereunder, or for any failure to deliver or any interruption
in the delivery of energy hereunder or for any deficiency in the quality of
service hereunder.

                  (c) For any other actions taken pursuant to this Agreement,
Georgia Power shall not be in breach of this Agreement by reason of, and shall
have no liability whatsoever to Oglethorpe Power for, any failure to make
capacity available hereunder, or for any failure to deliver or any interruption
in the delivery of energy hereunder or for any deficiency in the quality of
service hereunder; provided, however, the foregoing exculpatory clause of this
Section 7.4(c) shall not apply to any such failure that is the direct result of
any action of Georgia Power that (i) is not Prudent Utility Practices, (ii) is
of Georgia Power's or its agent's willful misconduct, or (iii) is done for
purely economic reasons.

         7.5      Market Rate Tariff.

                  (a) It is the expressed intent of the Parties that this
Agreement and the attached Schedules be accepted by the FERC as a sale pursuant
to the Tariff without any modifications of its charges, terms and conditions and
without additional filing requirements. If, at any time, the FERC does not allow
this Agreement to function pursuant to the Tariff or requires any cost of
service support for any charges hereunder, Oglethorpe Power agrees to actively
support and pursue acceptance by the FERC of all charges and terms as stated in
this Agreement. If, at any time, the FERC orders any changes to any charges or
terms hereunder or any refunds, including, but not limited to, interest or
penalties, other than penalties resulting from actions by Georgia Power or its
agent that are not Prudent Utility Practices or that constitute willful
misconduct, Oglethorpe Power agrees that Georgia Power shall have the right to
file one or more unilateral changes to the charges and terms hereunder to
recover the revenues, as closely as practicable, intended by this Agreement in
its original form.

                  (b) Oglethorpe Power agrees to actively support any and all
such changes and to cooperate with and assist Georgia Power in securing
acceptance by the FERC of any and all such changes, in as expeditious a manner
as is practicable, to the extent such changes do not result in higher charges to
Oglethorpe Power than the charges intended by this Agreement in its original
form. The obligations pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall survive termination of
this Agreement and any of the Schedules.

                  (c) Georgia Power and Oglethorpe Power each agrees that,
except as expressly permitted under Sections 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 8.4, 8.5, and 9.1 of
the Agreement, or to effectuate a change as permitted in Part 6 of each of the
Schedules, it shall not seek to modify this Agreement or any related Schedule
under Sections 205 or 206 of the Federal Power Act or any other provision of
law, except with the consent of both Parties or as required to comply with an
order of a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over this Agreement.

         7.6      Termination of the BPSA.

                  (a) It is the expressed intent of the Parties that the BPSA be
terminated effective with the commencement of service pursuant to Section 8.1 of
this Agreement. The Parties shall take all steps reasonably necessary to
terminate the BPSA including, but not limited to, the FERC's acknowledgment
thereof, without the necessity for any filings or other justifications for any
charges rendered under the BPSA.

                  (b) The Parties expressly agree that termination of the BPSA
pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall constitute expiration of the BPSA pursuant to
its own terms as contemplated under the Umbrella Agreement, Section 3.4.

         7.7 FERC Modification of Formulary Rates Under the BPSA. If, at any
time, the FERC orders any changes to any charges rendered under the BPSA or any
refunds, including, but not limited to, interest or penalties, other than
penalties resulting from actions by Georgia Power or its agent that are not
Prudent Utility Practices or that constitute willful misconduct, Oglethorpe
Power agrees that Georgia Power shall have the right to file one or more
unilateral changes to the charges and terms hereunder to recover the revenues,
as closely as practicable, intended by the BPSA in its original form.
Furthermore, Oglethorpe Power agrees to actively support any and all such
changes and to cooperate with and assist Georgia Power in securing acceptance by
the FERC of any and all such changes, in as expeditious a manner as is
practicable, to the extent such changes do not result in higher charges to
Oglethorpe Power than the charges intended by the BPSA in its original form.
This obligation shall survive termination of this Agreement and any of the
Schedules.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                TERM OF AGREEMENT

         8.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the date first
written above and shall continue inclusive through one (1) minute after 11:59
p.m. (Operating Time) on March 31, 2006. Service under this Agreement shall
commence, subject to the conditions included in Section 8.2, at one (1) minute
prior to 12:01 a.m. (Operating Time) on April 1, 1999. Oglethorpe Power shall
have the option of terminating this Agreement, prior to commencement of service
under this Agreement, by written notice delivered to Georgia Power by close of
business on March 26, 1999, provided, however, that Oglethorpe Power must
provide evidence, acceptable in form and substance to Georgia Power, that the
EMCs have not subscribed to at least fifty megawatts (50MW), in aggregate, of
the LT Resources. The provisions of Article VI shall survive termination of this
Agreement to the extent necessary to render final bills and permit auditing and
resolution of disputes, if any, with respect to such final bills in accordance
with the provisions of Article VI.

         8.2 Conditions for Effectiveness. The respective obligations hereunder
of Georgia Power to sell capacity and energy to Oglethorpe Power, and of
Oglethorpe Power to purchase capacity and energy from Georgia Power, are
conditioned upon:

                  (1) The receipt by Georgia Power of acceptance by the FERC of
         this Agreement, without modification, as a service agreement pursuant
         to the Tariff.

                  (2) The receipt by Georgia Power of acceptance by the FERC of
         termination of the BPSA, without modification, effective with the
         commencement of service pursuant to this Agreement.

                  (3) If a Governmental Authority other than FERC properly
         asserts jurisdiction regarding approval of this Agreement, the receipt
         of any required approvals of this Agreement, without modification by
         such Governmental Authority.

                  (4) For the LT Resources, the receipt by Oglethorpe Power of
         approval by at least seventy-five percent (75%) of its board of
         directors and approval by at least seventy-five percent (75%) of its
         EMCs of this Agreement.

Georgia Power and Oglethorpe Power shall cooperate with each other, as the other
may reasonably request, in connection with the procurement of such acceptance
from the FERC and any required approvals of any Governmental Authorities.

         8.3      EMCs' Approval of any LT Resource as a Non-Recourse Resource.

                  (a) If condition (4) of Section 8.2 is not met for any of the
LT Resources, but the EMCs approve said LT Resource(s) as a Non-Recourse
Resource (as such term is defined in Section 8.3(c) herein), the Parties agree
to amend this Agreement, as necessary, to obtain approval of such Non-Recourse
Resource by Oglethorpe Power and its approving members on or before June 30,
1999. Oglethorpe Power and its approving members shall execute separate
definitive agreements for the resale of capacity and energy purchased by
Oglethorpe Power under the amended Agreement as a Non-Recourse Resource and
further, in the case of those approving members who are borrowers from the RUS,
obtain approval by the RUS of such members' agreements with Oglethorpe Power on
or before June 30, 1999. If any LT Resource is approved as a Non-Recourse
Resource, the amended Agreement shall include a provision that there is no
recourse for Oglethorpe Power's monetary obligations under the amended Agreement
with respect to such Non-Recourse Resource, directly or indirectly, to the
general credit of Oglethorpe Power or to any property, revenues or agreements of
Oglethorpe Power, other than the revenues received by Oglethorpe Power under its
separate contracts with its members who have subscribed for the resale of energy
and capacity from the Non-Recourse Resource. If any LT Resource is approved as a
Non-Recourse Resource, then, with respect to that Non-Recourse Resource only,
the approving members shall execute additional agreements, as reasonably
required, directly with Georgia Power for their respective purchases, or shall
guarantee Oglethorpe Power's obligations, and shall provide such credit
assurance as Georgia Power may reasonably require. One or more of such approving
members may contract directly with Georgia Power concerning such Non-Recourse
Resource similar to the LT Resource described in this Agreement on such terms as
the parties may mutually agree.

                  (b) In the event that either of the LT Resources is approved
as a Non-Recourse Resource, the effective date for commencement of service with
respect to such Non-Recourse Resource shall be July 1, 1999, and the term for
such Non-Recourse Resource shall be reduced by 3 Months, (i.e., the termination
dates will be unchanged). Furthermore, if the LT Peaking Resource is a
Non-Recourse Resource, its Monthly Capacity Rate for the period July 1, 1999,
through March 31, 2000, shall be three and twenty-five one-hundredths dollars
per kilowatt-month ($3.25/kW-Mo), and if the LT Steam Resource is a Non-Recourse
Resource, its Monthly Capacity Rate for the period July 1, 1999, through March
31, 2000, shall be four and fifty one-hundredths dollars per kilowatt-month
($4.50/kW-Mo).

                  (c) "Non-Recourse Resource" means an agreement for the
purchase of capacity and energy which is: approved by less than seventy-five
percent (75%) of Oglethorpe Power's board of directors, approved by less than
seventy-five percent (75%) of Oglethorpe Power's members, fully subscribed by
the subset of Oglethorpe Power's members who are approving members, and
supported only by the credit of and revenues from sales to such approving
members, with no recourse to the general credit or other property of Oglethorpe
Power and its members.

         8.4      FERC Changes; Rights to Terminate.

                  Either Georgia Power or Oglethorpe Power may terminate this
Agreement, in its respective sole discretion, following the issuance of a final
unappealed order by the FERC or any other final action by any Governmental
Authority properly asserting jurisdiction over this Agreement either rejecting
this Agreement or accepting this Agreement in a modified form (so that this
Agreement is not in substantially the agreed-upon and filed form). Georgia Power
or Oglethorpe Power may elect to exercise such right to terminate only within
the thirty (30) Day period following the expiration of all periods within which
an appeal of such an Order could be filed by any person or entity. If Georgia
Power or Oglethorpe Power elects to exercise such right to terminate, then the
electing party shall deliver a written notice of such election to the other
within the aforementioned period, and this Agreement will be deemed to have been
terminated effective upon the date of the other's receipt of such written
notice.

         8.5      Purchases After Expiration, Termination or Reduction.

                  Oglethorpe Power agrees that this Agreement (and the capacity
and energy rates provided for herein and in the Schedules hereto) will expire at
each end of the Term and that this Agreement (and the capacity and energy rates
provided for herein and in the Schedules hereto) shall terminate effective as of
the date determined in accordance with Section 8.4 or 10.3, if such Section
becomes operative and is exercised by either Georgia Power or Oglethorpe Power.
Oglethorpe Power further agrees that it will not seek to purchase any capacity
or associated energy or to schedule any transactions under this Agreement after
the date of expiration or termination determined as aforesaid.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         9.1 Approvals. Oglethorpe Power and Georgia Power agree to use their
best efforts to apply for promptly and to pursue diligently any required

Agreement or any termination of this Agreement on the date determined in
accordance with Section 8.5 (which obligation of Oglethorpe Power shall be in
addition to its undertakings under Section 8.5). This provision is not intended

Agreement, at any time, without the prior written consent of the other in each
instance; provided, however, that neither Georgia Power nor Oglethorpe Power may
unreasonably withhold its consent to any conveyance by the other of a security
interest in this Agreement as security for bonds or other obligations issued or
to be issued; provided, further, that Georgia Power may assign this Agreement
and its respective rights, and delegate its respective obligations, under this
Agreement to a generation Affiliate succeeding to substantially all of Georgia
Power's interests in the Units, without the consent of Oglethorpe Power.

                  (b) Notwithstanding Section 9.2(a), actions identified herein
as being accomplished by Georgia Power may be accomplished either by Georgia
Power or by its agent.

         9.3 Georgia Power's Agent. Wherever this Agreement requires Oglethorpe
Power to provide information, schedules, notice or the like to, or to take
direction from, Georgia Power or its agent, Oglethorpe Power shall provide
information, schedules, notice or the like to, or take direction from, whichever
of Georgia Power, its agent or both that Georgia Power may direct from time to
time.

         9.4 No Partnership. Oglethorpe Power and Georgia Power do no intend for

of and be binding upon any respective successors and assigns of Oglethorpe Power

         9.7 No Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, neither Georgia Power nor Oglethorpe Power shall be liable to
the other for indirect, incidental or consequential damages (including without

         9.8 No Affiliate Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, no Affiliate of Georgia Power (including without limitation any
Affiliate of Georgia Power acting as Georgia Power's agent where Georgia Power's
agent is given certain authorities hereunder) shall have any liability
whatsoever for any party's performance, nonperformance or delay in performance
under this Agreement unless such Affiliate of Georgia Power has been assigned
this Agreement as a generation Affiliate succeeding to substantially all of
Georgia Power's interests in the Units in accordance with Section 9.2(a).

         9.9 Disclaimer of Warranty. GEORGIA POWER, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF, EACH OF
ITS AFFILIATES AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
AGENTS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR
STATUTORY WARRANTIES CONCERNING EITHER OR BOTH THE CAPACITY OR ENERGY TO BE SOLD
BY GEORGIA POWER HEREUNDER OR CONCERNING ANY INFORMATION FURNISHED BY OR FOR ANY

QUALITY, QUANTITY OR OTHERWISE.

         9.10     Time of Essence; No Waiver.

                  (b) Neither Georgia Power's nor Oglethorpe Power's failure to
enforce any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall in any way be
construed as a waiver of any such provision or provisions as to any future
violation thereof, nor prevent it from enforcing each and every other provision
of this Agreement at such time or at any time thereafter. The waiver by either
Georgia Power or Oglethorpe Power of any right or remedy shall not constitute a
waiver of its right to assert said right or remedy, at any time thereafter, or
any other rights or remedies available to it at the time of or any time after
such waiver.

         9.11 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by and only by a written

                                   SCHEDULE A

                               SHORT TERM RESOURCE

         1.       General and Definitions.
                  -----------------------
                  This Schedule A is attached to and incorporated into that
certain Long Term Transaction Service Agreement Under Southern Companies'
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Electric Tariff Volume No. 4 Market-Based
Rate Tariff between Georgia Power Company and Oglethorpe Power Corporation (An
Electric Membership Corporation) dated as of February 26, 1999 ("the
Agreement"). Georgia Power and Oglethorpe Power have agreed in the Agreement
that Oglethorpe Power will pay for the capacity and energy associated with the
Short Term Resources on a Monthly basis utilizing the rates and methodologies
determined in accordance with this Schedule A. All initially capitalized terms
and phrases used in this Schedule A, but not expressly defined herein, shall
have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

         2.       Capacity and Term.
                  -----------------
                  Georgia Power offers to sell to Oglethorpe Power, subject to
the terms of the Agreement, capacity and associated energy, from one (1) or more
of five (5) fifty megawatt (50 MW) Short Term Resources, designated "ST-1",
"ST-2", ST-3", "ST-4" and "ST-5", for the period commencing one (1) minute prior
to 12:01 a.m. (Operating Time) on June 1, 1999 and continuing through one (1)
minute after 11:59 p.m.(Operating Time) on May 31, 2000. Oglethorpe Power shall
specify how many of the Short Term Resources it commits to purchase for the
above specified period in a written notice to be delivered to Georgia Power on
or before March 26, 1999. Such notice shall be incorporated herein by this
reference. This Schedule A shall terminate at one (1) minute after 11:59 p.m.
(Operating Time) on May 31, 2000.

         3.       Monthly Capacity Charge.
                  -----------------------
                  For each Short Term Resource purchased by Oglethorpe Power
pursuant to the notice incorporated above, Oglethorpe Power shall pay a Monthly
Capacity Charge, in dollars per Month ($/Mo), in accordance with the following
schedule:

                  June 1999 -- $362,500
                  July - September 1999 -- $662,500
                  October 1999 - May 2000 -- $75,000

         4.       Hourly Energy Rate.
                  ------------------
                  (a) The Hourly Energy Rate for energy purchases associated
with the Short Term Resources shall be the product, expressed in dollars per
megawatt-hour rounded to the nearest one-hundredth ($0.00/MWH) of (i) one and
one-tenth (1.1) and (ii) Southern Marginal Cost, where Southern Marginal Cost is
defined as the incremental energy cost of Southern Dispatch after serving all
Southern Control Area obligations and actual Unit Power Sales' base, alternate,
supplemental and replacement schedules but prior to serving any other sales
outside the Southern Control Area, which costs shall include fuel expense,
variable operating and maintenance expense, fuel handling expense, emissions
allowance value, and other appropriate energy-related costs, including, but not
limited to, energy purchases, as permitted by the IIC and as determined prior to
the applicable Hour. The Hourly Energy Rate for energy utilization from "Excess
Short Term Resources" (as determined below) shall be increased by the
difference, if such difference is greater than zero (0), expressed in dollars
per megawatt-hour rounded to the nearest one-hundredth ($0.00),

                  (1) the higher of (i) one and one tenth (1.1) times the
         highest Hourly (excluding multi-hour transactions) off-system
         transaction price disclosed by Georgia Power, if any, in effect for
         such Hour (either a purchase or a sale) or (ii) "System Marginal Cost"
         (as such term is defined and used in the RCSA) for such Hour plus ten
         dollars per megawatt-hour ($10/MWH), minus

                  (2) the sum, (i) the current Monthly Capacity Charge, in
         dollars per Month ($/Mo) for the Short Term Resources divided by the
         product of fifty megawatts (50 MW), the number of weekdays in such
         Month and sixteen (16) Hours per Day, plus (ii) one and one tenth (1.1)
         times the Southern Marginal Cost for such Hour.

Any off-system transaction price disclosed by Georgia Power shall be treated
consistently with the confidentiality provisions of Article XV of the RCSA.

                  (b) If the net of the "OPC Off-System Transactions," sales
plus exports minus purchases minus imports (as such term is defined and used in
the RCSA), is less than fifty megawatts (50 MW) during the Hour containing the
greatest "OPC Territorial Load" (as such term is defined and used in the RCSA)
during a given Day, then no Short Term Resources are deemed to be Excess Short
Term Resources during such Day. If the number of Short Term Resources scheduled
during the Hour containing the greatest OPC Territorial Load during a given Day
is less than the net OPC Off-System Transactions during such Hour, expressed in
megawatt-hours (MWH), divided by, fifty megawatts (50 MW), with any resulting
fraction being truncated to an integer value, then all of the Short Term
Resources are deemed to be Excess Short Term Resources during such Day.
Otherwise, the number of Short Term Resources that are not deemed to be Excess
Short Term Resources during a given Day equals (i) the number of Short Term
Resources scheduled during the Hour containing the greatest OPC Territorial
Load, minus (ii) the net OPC Off-System Transactions during such Hour, expressed
in megawatt-hours (MWH), divided by, fifty megawatts (50 MW), with any resulting
fraction being truncated to an integer value. In any given Hour, Short Term
Resources that are not Excess Short Term Resources shall be deemed scheduled
first.

         5.       Performance Guarantee.
                  ---------------------
                           If the provisions of Section 4.8(c) of the Agreement
         are applicable for a given Month and the calculation detailed therein
         results in a value less than ninety-five one-hundredths (0.95), the
         credit due Oglethorpe Power in the following Monthly invoice shall be
         calculated as the product of (i) the difference between ninety-five
         one-hundredths (0.95) and the value calculated pursuant to Section
         4.8(c) of the Agreement expressed to three (3) decimal places, times
         (ii) the sum of the kilowatt (kW) capacity associated with the Short
         Term Resources purchased by Oglethorpe Power pursuant to the notice
         incorporated above, times (iii) if such Month is June, July, August or
         September, thirteen and twenty-five one-hundredths dollars per kilowatt
         ($13.25/kW), otherwise, one and fifty one-hundredths dollars per
         kilowatt ($1.50/kW).

         6.       Change in Law.
                  -------------
                  The Parties acknowledge that a Change in Law, including, but
not limited to, environmental laws and regulations and energy taxes applicable
to wholesale sales, but specifically excluding any other taxes, may
significantly change (increase or decrease) Georgia Power's costs in providing
the service described above. In the event of such a Change in Law, either Party
may give notice to the other Party that Georgia Power's costs have changed
significantly and may initiate negotiations to modify this Schedule to reflect
such changes in costs. If the Parties have not negotiated and agreed upon an
amendment to this Schedule within 90 Days, either Party shall have the right to
initiate a dispute resolution process as follows: (i) Georgia Power shall make a
good faith calculation of the effect of such change and adjust the billing
accordingly, (ii) Oglethorpe may pay under protest, (iii) a mutually agreeable
individual ("Accountant") shall calculate the appropriate adjustment to reflect
the change in cost, and billings will be adjusted accordingly, and (iv) the
Parties shall split Accountant's fee for rendering such service. If the Parties
cannot reach agreement on a mutually agreeable individual, then the head of the
utilities practice group at Arthur Andersen will be used.

                                    with the Remainder

                           (ii)     for each Month in 1999, four dollars per
                                    kilowatt-month ($4.00/kW-Mo) for each Month
                                    in 2000, four and twenty-five one-hundredths
                                    dollars per kilowatt-month ($4.25/kW-Mo) for

to wholesale sales, but specifically excluding any other taxes, may
significantly change (increase or decrease) Georgia Power's costs in providing
the service described above. In the event of such a Change in Law, either Party
may give notice to the other Party that Georgia Power's costs have changed
significantly and may initiate negotiations to modify this Schedule to reflect
such changes in costs. If the Parties have not negotiated and agreed upon an
amendment to this Schedule within 90 Days, either Party shall have the right to
initiate a dispute resolution process as follows: (i) Georgia Power shall make a
good faith calculation of the effect of such change and adjust the billing
accordingly, (ii) Oglethorpe may pay under protest, (iii) a mutually agreeable
individual ("Accountant") shall calculate the appropriate adjustment to reflect
the change in cost, and billings will be adjusted accordingly, and (iv) the
Parties shall split Accountant's fee for rendering such service. If the Parties
cannot reach agreement on a mutually agreeable individual, then the head of the
utilities practice group at Arthur Andersen will be used.Exhibit 10(a)59

                                  Participants

         2.1 Participation. Participation in the Plan shall be limited to
Executive Employees of the Employing Companies.

         2.2 Reduction in Grade Level. Any Participant who ceases to be an
Executive Employee prior to the close of a Computation Period shall receive an
Award for the Computation Period ending on December 31st of the year in which
such Participant ceased to be an Executive Employee and shall forfeit any Award
for any other Computation Periods that have not closed as of the date the
Participant ceases to be an Executive Employee.

         2.3 Termination of Employment. If a Participant's employment is
terminated by reason of death, disability or retirement, such Participant or his
or her estate shall be eligible to receive an Award for the Computation Period
ending in the year of such death, disability or retirement unless such death,
disability or retirement shall have occurred on January 1 in which case the
Participant or his or her estate shall only be entitled to an Award for the
Computation Period ending December 31 of the previous year. Any Participant who
terminates employment for any other reason shall receive only any unpaid Award
for a completed Computation Period and shall not be eligible to receive an Award
for the Computation Period ending in the year of such termination of employment.

         2.4 Transfer to Non-Adopting Employer. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 2.3 above, in the case of an individual transferring from an
Employing Company to a Non-Adopting Employer any Award paid for any Computation

to the Participant by the Employing Company from which the Participant is
transferring on the following basis:

                  (i) 100% of the Award for the Computation Period ending in the
         year of transfer;

                  (ii) 75% of the Award for the Computation Period ending in the
         first year following the year of transfer;

                  (iii) 50% of the Award for the Computation Period ending in

                  (iv) 25% of the Award for the Computation Period ending in the
         third year following the year of transfer.

Such transferring Participant shall receive no award for any Computation Period
which has not begun on the date of the Participant's transfer or if such
Participant shall no longer be in an eligible Grade Level after such transfer.

         Any Awards payable under this Section 2.4 shall be based on the Grade
Level at the time of transfer.

         2.5 Transfer from Non-Adopting Employer. In the case of an individual
transferring from a Non-Adopting Employer to an Employing Company whose Grade
Level and length of service at the Non-Adopting Employer would have caused the
Employee to have been a Participant in the Plan if the Non-Adopting Employer
were an Employing Company and whose Grade Level after the transfer would enable
the Employee to participate in the Plan, such individual shall be deemed to have
been employed by an Employing Company while employed with the Non-Adopting
Employer and shall, for any Computation Period ending after such transfer, be
deemed a Participant in the Plan as if the Non-Adopting Employer was an
Employing Company.

         Any Awards payable under this Section 2.5 shall be based on the Grade
Levels at the Employing Company.

         2.6 Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Plan, a Participant whose employment is Terminated for Cause shall forfeit any
and all unpaid Awards under this Plan.

         2.7 Promotion. The administration of Awards for Participants who are
promoted or transferred from one Grade Level included in the Plan to another
Grade Level included in the Plan shall be based on the Participant's Grade Level
Value on the last day of the Computation Period for which an Award is being
granted. For the Computation Periods ending December 31, 1995, December 31,
1996, December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1998 a Participant's Grade Level Value
for determining Awards shall be the Participant's Grade Level Value on January
1, 1995.

         2.8 Maximum Award. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan,
the maximum Award for any Computation Period payable to any Participant shall be
two million dollars ($2,000,000).

         2.9 1995 Participants. Any individual who initially becomes a
Participant in the Plan as of January 1, 1995 shall be considered to have been
participating in the Plan as of January 1, 1993 for purposes of determining
benefits payable for any Computation Period that began or begins on or after
January 1, 1993 and such Participant will therefore be eligible for an Award
equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Award Opportunity for the Computation
Period ending December 31, 1995.

         2.10 Post-1995 Participants. In the case of an individual who becomes a
Participant subsequent to January 1, 1995, said Participant will participate in
each Computation Period which ends not less than two (2) years after becoming a
Participant.

                                   ARTICLE III

                      Corporate Financial Performance Award

         3.1 ROE Computation Period. For Computation Period years beginning
before January 1, 1997 (the "ROE Computation Period"), the Award Opportunity for
each Participant shall be based upon either his Grade Level Value (as determined
based on his Grade Level at the beginning of such period) or, in the Committee's
discretion, upon his Annual Salary at the beginning of such period and in either
case shall range from fifteen percent (15%) to sixty-five percent (65%) of such
Grade Level Value or Annual Salary, as applicable. The Award Opportunity for
each Grade Level or Annual Salary shall be determined in accordance with the
chart set forth in Exhibit A hereof.

        3.2 ROE Ranking. Each Award Opportunity granted in the ROE Computation
Period shall be multiplied by the Value of Performance Unit factor and the
Percentage of Total Award factor set forth in Exhibit B hereof, which is based
on Southern Company's Average ROE ranking during the ROE Computation Period as
compared to the Average ROE ranking of the ROE Peer Group Companies to determine
a Participant's Award. The return on common equity of the ROE Peer Group
Companies shall be determined annually by an independent certified public
accountant based on generally accepted accounting principles and shall be
properly adjusted and annualized by such accountant so that each ROE Peer Group
Company return on common equity may be accurately compared to that of Southern
Company.

         3.3 TSR Computation Period. For Computation Period years beginning on
or after January 1, 1997 (the "TSR Computation Period"), the Award Units for
each Participant shall be based upon either his Grade Level Value or, in the
Committee's discretion, upon his Annual Salary and, in either case shall range
from fifteen percent (15%) to sixty-five percent (65%) of such Grade Level Value
or Annual Salary, as applicable. The Award Units for each Grade Level or Annual
Salary shall be determined in accordance with the charts set forth in Exhibit D
hereof

         3.4 TSR Ranking. Each Award Unit granted in the TSR Computation Period
shall be multiplied by the Value of Performance Unit factor and the Percentage
of Total Award factor set forth in Exhibit E hereof which is based on Total
Shareholder Return of Southern Company as compared to the Total Shareholder
Return for the TSR Peer Group Companies. The Total Shareholder Return of
Southern Company and the TSR Peer Group Companies shall be determined annually
by an independent certified public accountant and shall be properly adjusted and
amortized by such accountant so that each TSR Peer Group Company's total
shareholder return may be accurately compared to that of Southern Company.

         3.5 Insufficient Earnings. Notwithstanding the above provisions, an
Award will not be granted for any Computation Period ending with the calendar
year in which the current earnings of Southern Company are less than the amount
necessary to fund the dividends on its Common Stock at the rate such dividends
were paid for the immediately preceding calendar year.

         3.6 Extraordinary Income. In the exercise of negative discretion, the
Compensation Committee may calculate the Award for one or more Computation
Period(s) without regard to any extraordinary income item (but not loss)
otherwise recorded by Southern Company or any Employing Company, provided such
determination that an item of income is extraordinary is made by the Committee
prior to the close of the Computation Period.

         3.7 Payment. The Awards to the Participants will be paid in cash as
soon as is practicable after all evaluations are completed. An Award payment may
not be deferred under this Plan. In the event an Award was deferred under the
Prior Plan, such deferral shall be governed by the terms of the Prior Plan.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                Change in Control

         4.1 Southern Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Plan Termination within the two (2)
year period following a Southern Change in Control, each Participant who is an
Executive Employee on the date of the Plan Termination shall be entitled to
receive within thirty (30) days of the Plan Termination, cash in an amount equal
to his Award Opportunity or Award Units, as the case may be, for the Computation
Period in which the Plan Termination shall have occurred, at a target Value of
Performance Unit of $ 1.00, prorated for each Computation Period by the number
of months which have passed since the beginning of the Computation Period until
the date of the Plan Termination.

         4.2 Subsidiary Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Subsidiary Change in Control,
each Subsidiary Employee on the date of such Change in Control whose employment
is not transferred upon such Subsidiary Change in Control to another Employing
Company shall be entitled to receive within thirty (30) days of the Subsidiary
Change in Control, cash in an amount equal to his Award Opportunity, or Award
Units, as the case may be, for the Computation Period in which the Subsidiary
Change in Control shall have occurred, at a target Value of Performance Unit of
$1.00, prorated for each Computation Period by the number of months which have
passed since the beginning of the Computation Period until the date of the
Subsidiary Change in Control.

         4.3 Southern Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Southern Termination, if the Plan or an
equitable replacement thereto (as described in Section 1.27 hereof) remains
effective on December 31st of the Plan Year in which the Southern Change in
Control shall have occurred, the Plan or Replacement Plan shall operate with
respect to the Performance Period then ended in accordance with its terms, but
in no event shall the Value of Performance Unit under the Plan or similar factor
under a replacement plan for such Performance Period be less than $1.00 or
target performance, respectively.

                                    ARTICLE V

                            Miscellaneous Provisions

         5.1 No Assignment. Neither the Participant, his beneficiary, nor his
personal representative shall have any rights to commute, sell, assign, transfer
or otherwise convey the right to receive any payments hereunder, which payments
and the rights thereto are expressly declared to be nonassignable and
nontransferable. Any attempt to assign or transfer the right to payments of this
Plan shall be void and have no effect.

         5.2 No Reserve. The Employing Company shall not reserve or otherwise
set aside funds for the payments of Awards deferred in accordance with the Prior
Plan.

         5.3 Plan Amendment. Except for the provisions of Article IV hereof,
which may not be amended, modified or terminated following a Southern Change in
Control, Subsidiary Change in Control or a Southern Termination, the Plan may be
amended, modified, or terminated by the Board of Directors in its sole
discretion at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that no such
amendment, modification, or termination shall impair any rights to payments
which have been deferred under the Prior Plan prior to such amendment,
modification, or termination.

         5.4 Additional Benefits. It is expressly understood and agreed that the
Awards made in accordance with the Plan are in addition to any other benefits or
compensation to which a Participant may be entitled or for which he may be
eligible, whether funded or unfunded, by reason of his employment with the
Employing Company.

         5.5 Withholding. There shall be deducted from the payment of each Award
under the Plan the amount of any tax required by any governmental authority to
be withheld and paid over by the Employing Company to such governmental
authority for the account of the person entitled to such distribution.

         5.6 Effect On Other Benefits. Any Awards paid to a Participant while
employed by an Employing Company shall not be considered in the calculation of
the Participant's benefits under any other employee welfare or pension benefit
plan maintained by an Employing Company, unless otherwise specifically provided
therein.

         5.7 Governing Law. This Plan, and all its rights under it, shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

         5.8 Pooling Accounting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, if, but for any provision of this Plan, a Change in Control transaction
would otherwise be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests under APB No. 16
("Pooling Accounting") (after giving effect to any and all other facts and
circumstances affecting whether such Change in Control transaction would use
Pooling Accounting,), such provision or provisions of this Plan which would
otherwise cause the Change in Control transaction to be ineligible for Pooling
Accounting shall be void and ineffective in such a manner and to the extent that
by eliminating such provision or provisions of this Plan, Pooling Accounting
would be required for such Change in Control transaction.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Southern Company Services, Inc., through its duly
authorized officers, hereby amends and restates the Southern Company Executive
Productivity Improvement Plan this ____ day of ______________, 1999 to be
