          Employee which are outstanding as of the date such Subsidiary Change
          in Control is determined to have occurred, and which are not then
          exercisable and vested, shall become fully exercisable and vested to
          the full extent of the original grant; provided, that in the case of a
          Subsidiary Employee holding a Stock Appreciation Right who is actually
          subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, such Stock Appreciation
          Right shall not become fully vested and exercisable unless it shall
          have been outstanding for at least six months as of the date such
          Subsidiary Change in Control is determined to have occurred.

     (ii) The restrictions and deferral limitations applicable to any Restricted
          Stock and Restricted Stock Units held by a Subsidiary Employee shall
          lapse, and such Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall
          become free of all restrictions and limitations and become fully

          Act, such Stock Appreciation Right shall not become fully vested and
          exercisable at such time if such actions would result in liability to

          actions not taken as a result of the rules under Section 16(b) shall
          be effected as of the first date that such activity would no longer

          restricted stock units, as the case may be, in the Surviving Company,
          or the corporation which has acquired all of Southern Company's Common
          Stock or assets. In the event of such conversion or replacement, the
          terms of the replacement options or stock appreciation rights shall
          preserve with respect to each Option and each SAR the spread between
          the Fair Market Value of the shares subject to the Options or SARs and
          the Option Price or Base Value, as the case may be, as determined
          immediately prior to the Southern Termination. Similarly, the terms of
          replacement restricted stock or restricted stock units shall preserve

          restricted stock or restricted stock unit received shall be subject to

          Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
          as of the date of the Southern Termination which are not so converted
          shall be terminated and the affected Participants shall receive within

          difference between the Option Price and Fair Market Value, in the case
          of Options, the Base Value and Fair Market Value, in the case of SARs
          and equal to the Fair Market Value, in the case of Restricted Stock
          and Restricted Stock Units. For purposes of this Section 4.2(b)(iv),

ARTICLE V                      - SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT PLAN
                                 CHANGE IN CONTROL AND OTHER SPECIAL PROVISIONS

5.1 Application. The provisions of this Article V apply to benefits payable
under The Southern Company Supplemental Benefit Plan (the "SBP"),
notwithstanding any provision in the SBP to the contrary. The meaning of
capitalized terms not defined herein are determined under the SBP.

5.2 General. Notwithstanding any other terms of the SBP to the contrary, upon a
Southern Change in Control or a Subsidiary Change in Control, the provisions of
this Article V shall become operative and apply to the calculation and payment
of benefits under the SBP with respect to any Subsidiary Employee who is a
Participant on such date.

5.3 Funding of Trust. The Trust has been established to hold assets of the
Employing Companies under certain circumstances as a reserve for the discharge
of the Employing Companies' obligations under the SBP. In the event of a
Preliminary Change in Control of Southern Company, all Employing Companies shall
be obligated to immediately contribute such amounts to the Trust as may be
necessary to fully fund the Pension Benefit and Non-Pension Benefit payable
under the SBP, the Pension Benefit to be determined under Section 5.5 hereof, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.4 hereof. In the event of
a Preliminary Change in Control of an Employing Company, such Employing Company
shall be obligated to immediately contribute such amounts to the Trust as may be
necessary to fully fund the Pension Benefit and Non-Pension Benefit payable to
its Subsidiary Employees under the SBP, the Pension Benefit to be determined
under Section 5.6 hereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
5.4 hereof. In addition, in order to provide the added protections for certain
individuals in accordance with Paragraph 7(b) of the Trust, the Employing
Companies may fund the Trust prior to a Preliminary Change in Control of
Southern Company or an Employing Company. All assets held in the Trust remain
subject only to the claims of the Employing Companies' general creditors whose
claims against the Employing Companies are not satisfied because of the
Employing Companies' bankruptcy or insolvency (as those terms are defined in the
Trust). No Participant has any preferred claim on, or beneficial ownership
interest in, any assets of the Trust before the assets are paid to the
Participant and all rights created under the Trust, as under the SBP, are
unsecured contractual claims of the Participant against his Employing Company.

5.4 Calculation of Trust Contribution. As soon as practicable following either a
Preliminary Change in Control of Southern Company or of an Employing Company,
the affected Employing Companies shall contribute an amount based upon the
funding strategy adopted by the Administrative Committee with the assistance of
an appointed actuary necessary to fulfill the Employing Companies' obligations
pursuant to this Article V. In the event of a dispute after a Change in Control
over such actuary's determination, the respective Employing Company(ies) and any
complaining Participant(s) shall refer such dispute to an independent,
third-party actuarial consultant, chosen by the Employing Company and such
Participant. If the Employing Company and the Participant cannot agree on an
independent, third-party actuarial consultant, the actuarial consultant shall be
chosen by lot from an equal number of actuaries submitted by the affected
Employing Companies and the Trustee. Any such referral shall only occur once in
total and the determination by the third-party actuarial consultant shall be
final and binding upon both parties. The Employing Companies shall be
responsible for all of the fees and expenses of the independent actuarial
consultant.

5.5 Pension Benefit Upon Southern Change in Control. On the date of a Southern
Change in Control, the Pension Benefit of each Participant who is an Employee of
an Employing Company and who has a non-forfeitable right to Retirement Income
under the Pension Plan, will be calculated based on such Participant's Earnings
and Accredited Service on such date, regardless of whether such Participant is
retirement eligible on such date. Each Participant, who is an Employee of an
Employing Company, will be entitled to receive the amount of his Pension Benefit
based on such Participant's Earnings and Accredited Service as of the date of a
Southern Change in Control adjusted to take into account appropriate early
reduction factors, if any, based on the Participant's commencement of benefits.
Such benefit shall be paid in lump sum, upon termination of employment or
retirement. Any benefits accrued under the SBP subsequent to the date of a
Southern Change in Control will be calculated and distributed pursuant to the
terms of the SBP, without regard to this Article V.

5.6 Pension Benefit Upon Subsidiary Change in Control. On the date of a
Subsidiary Change in Control of an Employing Company, the Pension Benefit of
each Participant who is an Employee of such Employing Company and who has a

calculated based on such Participant's Earnings and Accredited Service on such
date, regardless of whether such Participant is retirement eligible on such
date. Each Participant, who is an Employee of such Employing Company, will be
entitled to receive the amount of his Pension Benefit based on such
Participant's Earnings and Accredited Service as of the date of a Subsidiary
Change in Control adjusted to take into account appropriate early reduction
factors, if any, based on the Participant's commencement of benefits. Such
benefit shall be paid in lump sum, upon termination of employment or retirement.
Any benefits accrued under the SBP subsequent to the date of a Subsidiary Change
in Control will be calculated and distributed pursuant to the terms of the SBP,
without regard to this Article V.

5.7 Non-Pension Benefit Distribution Election upon Change in Control. In the
event of a Southern Change in Control or a Subsidiary Change in Control,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the SBP, upon termination or
retirement from employment, that Non-Pension Benefit of a Participant who was an
Employee of an Employing Company affected by such a Change in Control shall be
paid out in a lump sum if such Participant makes an election pursuant to
procedures established by the Administrative Committee in its sole and absolute
discretion. If no such election is made, the Participant shall receive payment

to the Trust as may be necessary to fully fund all benefits payable to its
Subsidiary Employees under the SERP, as determined under Section 6.6 hereof, in

prior to a Preliminary Change in Control of Southern Company or an Employing
Company. All assets held in the Trust remain subject only to the claims of the
Employing Companies' general creditors whose claims against the Employing
Companies are not satisfied because of the Employing Companies' bankruptcy or
insolvency (as those terms are defined in the Trust). No Participant has any

                  Company, Southern, or any Southern Subsidiary under
                  circumstances where such refusal would not amount to Good

                  under this Agreement; provided however, that the receipt of
                  benefits under the terms of any retention plan or agreement
                  shall not be deemed to be the receipt of severance or
                  separation benefits for purposes of this Agreement.

         would have paid on any Excess Parachute Payment with respect to the
         Change in Control and dividing such amount by a decimal determined by
         adding the tax rate under Code Section 4999 ("Excise Tax"), the
         hospital insurance tax under Code Section 3101(b) ("HI Tax") and
         federal and state income tax measured at the highest marginal rates
         ("Income Tax") and subtracting such result from the number one (1) (the
         "280G Gross-up"); provided, however, that no 280G Gross-up shall be
         paid unless the Severance Amount plus all other "parachute payments" to
         Mr. Garrett under Code Section 280G exceeds three (3) times Mr.
         Garrett's "base amount" (as such term is defined under Code Section
         280G ("Base Amount")) by ten percent (10%) or more; provided further,
         that if no 280G Gross-up is paid, the Severance Amount shall be capped
         at three (3) times Mr. Garrett's Base Amount, less all other "parachute
         payments" (as such term is defined under Code Section 280G) received by
         Mr. Garrett, less one dollar (the "Capped Amount"), if the Capped
         Amount, reduced by HI Tax and Income Tax, exceeds what otherwise would
         have been the Severance Amount, reduced by HI Tax, Income Tax and
         Excise Tax.
                  For purposes of this Paragraph 2.(b), whether any amount would
         constitute an Excess Parachute Payment and any other calculations of
         tax, e.g., Excise Tax, HI Tax, Income Tax, etc., or other amounts,
         e.g., Base Amount, Capped Amount, etc., shall be determined by the tax
         department of the independent public accounting firm then responsible
         for preparing Southern's consolidated federal income tax return, and
         such calculations or determinations shall be binding upon the parties
         hereto.
                  (c) Welfare Benefits. If Mr. Garrett meets the eligibility
         requirements of Paragraph 2.(a) hereof and is not otherwise eligible to
         receive retiree medical and life insurance benefits provided to certain
         retirees pursuant to the terms of the Pension Plan, the Group Health
         Plan and the Group Life Insurance Plan, he shall be entitled to the
         benefits set forth in this Paragraph 2.(c).
                           (i) Mr. Garrett shall be eligible to participate in
                  the Company's Group Health Plan, upon payment of both the
                  Company's and his monthly premium under such plan, for a
                  period of six (6) months for each of Mr. Garrett's Years of
                  Service, not to exceed five (5) years. If Mr. Garrett elects
                  to receive this extended medical coverage, he shall also be
                  entitled to elect coverage under the Group Health Plan for his
                  dependents who were participating in the Group Health Plan on
                  Mr. Garrett's Termination Date (and for such other dependents
                  as may be entitled to coverage under the provisions of the
                  Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996)
                  for the duration of Mr. Garrett's extended medical coverage
                  under this Paragraph 2.(c)(i) to the extent such dependents
                  remain eligible for dependent coverage under the terms of the
                  Group Health Plan.
                                    (A) The extended medical coverage afforded
                           to Mr. Garrett pursuant to Paragraph 2.(c)(i), as
                           well as the premiums to be paid by Mr. Garrett in
                           connection with such coverage shall be determined in
                           accordance with the terms of the Group Health Plan
                           and shall be subject to any changes in the terms and
                           conditions of the Group Health Plan as well as any
                           future increases in premiums under the Group Health
                           Plan. The premiums to be paid by Mr. Garrett in
                           connection with this extended coverage shall be due
                           on the first day of each month; provided, however,
                           that if he fails to pay his premium within thirty
                           (30) days of its due date, such extended coverage
                           shall be terminated.
                                    (B) Any Group Health Plan coverage provided
                           under Paragraph 2.(c)(i) shall be a part of and not
                           in addition to any COBRA Coverage which Mr. Garrett
                           or his dependents may elect. In the event that Mr.
                           Garrett or his dependents become eligible to be
                           covered, by virtue of re-employment or otherwise, by
                           any employer-sponsored group health plan or is
                           eligible for coverage under any government-sponsored
                           health plan during the above period, coverage under
                           the Company's Group Health Plan available to Mr.
                           Garrett or his dependents by virtue of the provisions
                           of Paragraph 2.(c)(i) shall terminate, except as may
                           otherwise be required by law, and shall not be
                           renewed. (ii) Mr. Garrett shall be entitled to
                           receive cash in an amount equal to the
                  Company's and Mr. Garrett's cost of premiums for three (3)
                  years of coverage under the Group Health Plan and Group Life
                  Insurance Plan in accordance with the terms of such plans as
                  of the date of the Change in Control.
                  (d) Incentive Plans. If Mr. Garrett meets the eligibility
         requirements of Paragraph 2.(a) hereof he shall be entitled to the
         following benefits under the Omnibus Plan:
                           (i) Stock Options.
                                    (A) Any of Mr. Garrett's Options and Stock
                           Appreciation Rights under the Omnibus Plan (the
                           defined terms of which are incorporated in this
                           Paragraph 2.(d)(i) by reference) which are
                           outstanding as of the Termination Date and which are
                           not then exercisable and vested, shall become fully
                           exercisable and vested to the full extent of the
                           original grant; provided, that in the case of a Stock
                           Appreciation Right, if Mr. Garrett is subject to
                           Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, such Stock
                           Appreciation Right shall not become fully vested and
                           exercisable at such time if such actions would result
                           in liability to Mr. Garrett under Section 16(b) of
                           the Exchange Act, provided further, that any such
                           actions not taken as a result of the rules under
                           Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall be effected
                           as of the first date that such activity would no
                           longer result in liability under Section 16(b) of the
                           Exchange Act.
                                    (B) The restrictions and deferral
                           limitations applicable to any of Mr. Garrett's
                           Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units as of the
                           Termination Date shall lapse, and such Restricted
                           Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall become free of
                           all restrictions and limitations and become fully
                           vested and transferable to the full extent of the
                           original grant.
                           (ii) Performance Pay Program. Provided Mr. Garrett is
                  not entitled to a Cash-Based Award under the PPP, (the defined
                  terms of which are incorporated in this Paragraph 2.(d)(ii) by
                  reference), if the PPP is in place through Mr. Garrett's
                  Termination Date and to the extent Mr. Garrett is entitled to
                  participate therein, Mr. Garrett shall be entitled to receive
                  cash in an amount equal to a prorated payout of his Cash-Based
                  Awards under the PPP for the performance period in which the
                  Termination Date shall have occurred, at target performance
                  under the PPP and prorated by the number of months which have
                  passed since the beginning of the performance period until the
                  Termination Date.
                           (iii) Performance Dividend Program. Provided Mr.
                  Garrett is not entitled to a Cash-Based Award under the
                  Performance Dividend Program (the defined terms of which are
                  incorporated in this Paragraph 2.(d)(iii) by reference), if
                  the Performance Dividend Program is in place through Mr.
                  Garrett's Termination Date and to the extent Mr. Garrett is
                  entitled to participate therein, Mr. Garrett shall be entitled
                  to receive cash for each such Cash-Based Award under the
                  Performance Dividend Program held by Mr. Garrett on his
                  Termination Date, based on actual performance under the
                  Performance Dividend Program determined as of the most
                  recently completed calendar quarter of the performance period
                  in which the Termination Date shall have occurred, and the
                  annual dividend declared prior to the Termination Date.
                           (iv) Other Short Term Incentives Under the Omnibus
                  Plan. Provided Mr. Garrett is not entitled to a Performance
                  Unit/Share award under the Omnibus Plan (the defined terms of
                  which are incorporated in this Paragraph 2.(d)(iv) by
                  reference), Mr. Garrett shall be entitled to receive cash in
                  an amount equal to a prorated payout of the value of his
                  Performance Units and/or Performance Shares for the
                  performance period in which the Termination Date shall have
                  occurred, at target performance and prorated by the number of
                  months which have passed since the beginning of the
                  performance period until the Termination Date.
                           (v) Other Short Term Incentive Plans. The provisions
                  of this Paragraph 2.(d)(v) shall apply if and to the extent
                  that Mr. Garrett is a participant in any other "short term
                  compensation plan" not otherwise previously referred to in
                  this Paragraph 2.(d). Provided Mr. Garrett is not otherwise
                  entitled to a plan payout under any change of control
                  provisions of such plans, if the "short term compensation
                  plan" is in place as of the Termination Date and to the extent
                  Mr. Garrett is entitled to participate therein, Mr. Garrett
                  shall receive cash in an amount equal to his award under the
                  Company's "short term incentive plan" for the annual
                  performance period in which the Termination Date shall have
                  occurred, at Mr. Garrett's target performance level and
                  prorated by the number of months which have passed since the
                  beginning of the annual performance period until his
                  Termination Date. For purposes of this Paragraph 2.(d)(v) the
                  term "short term incentive compensation plan" shall mean any
                  incentive compensation plan or arrangement adopted in writing
                  by the Company which provides for annual, recurring
                  compensatory bonuses based upon articulated performance
                  criteria. (e) Payment of Benefits. Any amounts due under this
                  Agreement shall be paid in one (1)
         lump sum payment as soon as administratively practicable following the
         later of: (i) Mr. Garrett's Termination Date, or (ii) upon Mr.
         Garrett's tender of an effective Waiver and Release to the Company in
         the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and the expiration of any
         applicable revocation period for such waiver. In the event of a dispute
         with respect to liability or amount of any benefit due hereunder, an
         effective Waiver and Release shall be tendered at the time of final
         resolution of any such dispute when payment is tendered by the Company.
                  (f) Benefits in the Event of Death. In the event of Mr.
         Garrett's death prior to the payment of all amounts due under this
         Agreement, Mr. Garrett's estate shall be entitled to receive as due any
         amounts not yet paid under this Agreement upon the tender by the
         executor or administrator of the estate of an effective Waiver and
         Release.
                  (g) Legal Fees. In the event of a dispute between Mr. Garrett
         and the Company with regard to any amounts due hereunder, if any
         material issue in such dispute is finally resolved in Mr. Garrett's
         favor, the Company shall reimburse Mr. Garrett's legal fees incurred
         with respect to all issues in such dispute in an amount not to exceed
         fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).
                  (h) Employee Outplacement Services. Mr. Garrett shall be
         eligible to participate in the Employee Outplacement Program, which
         program shall not be less than six (6) months duration measured from
         Mr. Garrett's Termination Date.
                  (i) Non-qualified Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plans.
         The Parties agree that subsequent to a Change in Control, any claims by
         Mr. Garrett for benefits under any of the Company's non-qualified
         retirement or deferred compensation plans shall be resolved through
         binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions and procedures
         set forth in Paragraph 5 hereof and if any material issue in such
         dispute is finally resolved in Mr. Garrett's favor, the Company shall
         reimburse Mr. Garrett's legal fees in the manner provided in Paragraph
         2.(g) hereof.
         3. Transfer of Employment. In the event that Mr. Garrett's employment
by the Company is terminated during the two year period following a Change in
Control and Mr. Garrett accepts employment by Southern, a Southern Subsidiary,
or any employer that succeeds to all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, Southern or any Southern Subsidiary, the Company shall assign this
Agreement to Southern, such Southern Subsidiary, or successor employer, Southern
shall accept such assignment or cause such Southern Subsidiary or successor
employer to accept such assignment, and such assignee shall become the "Company"
for all purposes hereunder.
         4. No Mitigation. If Mr. Garrett is otherwise eligible to receive
benefits under Paragraph 2 of this Agreement, he shall have no duty or
obligation to seek other employment following his Termination Date and, except
as otherwise provided in Paragraph 2.(a)(iii) hereof, the amounts due Mr.
Garrett hereunder shall not be reduced or suspended if Mr. Garrett accepts such
subsequent employment.
         5. Arbitration.
                  (a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or
         relating to the Company's obligations to pay severance benefits under
         this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled and resolved
         solely by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
         Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") except as
         otherwise provided herein. The arbitration shall be the sole and
         exclusive forum for resolution of any such claim for severance benefits
         and the arbitrators' award shall be final and binding. The provisions
         of this Paragraph 5 are not intended to apply to any other disputes,
         claims or controversies arising out of or relating to Mr. Garrett's
         employment by the Company or the termination thereof.
                  (b) Arbitration shall be initiated by serving a written notice
         of demand for arbitration to Mr. Garrett, in the case of the Company,
         or to the Southern Board, in the case of Mr. Garrett.
                  (c) The arbitration shall be held in Atlanta, Georgia. The
         arbitrators shall apply the law of the State of Georgia, to the extent
         not preempted by federal law, excluding any law which would require the
         application of the law of another state.
                  (d) The parties shall appoint arbitrators within fifteen (15)
         business days following service of the demand for arbitration. The
         number of arbitrators shall be three. One arbitrator shall be appointed
         by Mr. Garrett, one arbitrator shall be appointed by the Company, and
         the two arbitrators shall appoint a third. If the arbitrators cannot
         agree on a third arbitrator within thirty (30) business days after the
         service of demand for arbitration, the third arbitrator shall be
         selected by the AAA.
                  (e) The arbitration filing fee shall be paid by Mr. Garrett.
         All other costs of arbitration shall be borne equally by Mr. Garrett
         and the Company, provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse
         such fees and costs in the event any material issue in such dispute is
         finally resolved in Mr. Garrett's favor and Mr. Garrett is reimbursed
         legal fees under Paragraph 2.(g) hereof.
                  (f) The parties agree that they will faithfully observe the
         rules that govern any arbitration between them, they will abide by and
         perform any award rendered by the arbitrators in any such arbitration,
         including any award of injunctive relief, and a judgment of a court
         having jurisdiction may be entered upon an award.
                  (g) The parties agree that nothing in this Paragraph 5 is
         intended to preclude upon application of either party any court having
         jurisdiction from issuing and enforcing in any lawful manner such
         temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and other
         interim measures of relief as may be necessary to prevent harm to a
         party's interests or as otherwise may be appropriate pending the
         conclusion of arbitration proceedings pursuant to this Agreement;
         regardless of whether an arbitration proceeding under this Paragraph 5
         has begun. The parties further agree that nothing herein shall prevent
         any court from entering and enforcing in any lawful manner such
         judgments for permanent equitable relief as may be necessary to prevent
         harm to a party's interests or as otherwise may be appropriate
         following the issuance of arbitral awards pursuant to this Paragraph 5.

         6. Miscellaneous.
                  (a) Funding of Benefits. Unless the Board in its discretion
         shall determine otherwise, the benefits payable to Mr. Garrett under
         this Agreement shall not be funded in any manner and shall be paid by
         the Company out of its general assets, which assets are subject to the
         claims of the Company's creditors.
                  (b) Withholding. There shall be deducted from the payment of
         any benefit due under this Agreement the amount of any tax required by
         any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over by the Company
         to such governmental authority for the account of Mr. Garrett.
                  (c) Assignment. Mr. Garrett shall have no rights to sell,
         assign, transfer, encumber, or otherwise convey the right to receive
         the payment of any benefit due hereunder, which payment and the rights
         thereto are expressly declared to be nonassignable and nontransferable.
         Any attempt to do so shall be null and void and of no effect.
                  (d) Amendment and Termination. The Agreement may be amended or
         terminated only by a writing executed by the parties.
                  (e) Construction. This Agreement shall be construed in
         accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, to
         the extent not preempted by federal law, disregarding any provision of
         law which would require the application of the law of another state.
                  (f) Pooling Accounting. Notwithstanding anything to the
         contrary herein, if, but for any provision of this Agreement, 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 Agreement 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
         Agreement, Pooling Accounting would be required for such Change in
         Control transaction.

benefits under the Change in Control Agreement, as described in Paragraph 2(a)
of such agreement.

                           CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

                               Waiver and Release

         I, Michael D. Garrett, understand that I am entitled to receive the
severance benefits described in Section 2 of the Change in Control Agreement
(the "Agreement") if I execute this Waiver and Release ("Waiver"). I understand
that the benefits I will receive under the Agreement are in excess of those I
would have received from The Southern Company and Southern Company Services,
Inc. (collectively, the "Company") if I had not elected to sign this Waiver.

         I recognize that I may have a claim against the Company under the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 and 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended,
the Americans with Disabilities Act or other federal, state and local laws.

         In exchange for the benefits I elect to receive, I hereby irrevocably
waive and release all claims, of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown
in connection with any claim which I ever had, may have, or now have against The
Southern Company, Alabama Power Company, Georgia Power Company, Gulf Power
Company, Mississippi Power Company, Savannah Electric and Power Company,
Southern Communication Services, Inc., Southern Company Services, Inc., Southern
Energy Resources, Inc., Southern Company Energy Solutions, Inc., Southern
Nuclear Operating Company, Inc., Southern Energy, Inc. and other direct or
indirect subsidiaries of The Southern Company and their past, present and future
officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys. Nothing in this Waiver
shall be construed to release claims or causes of action under the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act or the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as
amended, which arise out of events occurring after the execution date of this
Waiver.

         In further exchange for the benefits I elect to receive, I understand
and agree that I will respect the proprietary and confidential nature of any
information I have obtained in the course of my service with the Company or any
subsidiary or affiliate of The Southern Company. However, nothing in this Waiver
shall prohibit me from engaging in protected activities under applicable law or
from communicating, either voluntary or otherwise, with any governmental agency
concerning any potential violation of the law.

         In signing this Waiver, I am not releasing claims to benefits that I am
already entitled to under any workers' compensation laws or under any retirement
plan or welfare benefit plan within the meaning of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, which is sponsored by or adopted by the
Company and/or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries; however, I understand
and acknowledge that nothing herein is intended to or shall be construed to
require the Company to institute or continue in effect any particular plan or
benefit sponsored by the Company and the Company hereby reserves the right to
amend or terminate any of its benefit programs at any time in accordance with
the procedures set forth in such plans.

         In signing this Waiver, I realize that I am waiving and releasing,
among other things, any claims to benefits under any and all bonus, severance,
workforce reduction, early retirement, outplacement, or any other similar type
plan sponsored by the Company.

         I have been encouraged and advised in writing to seek advice from
anyone of my choosing regarding this Waiver, including my attorney, and my
accountant or tax advisor. Prior to signing this Waiver, I have been given the
opportunity and sufficient time to seek such advice, and I fully understand the
meaning and contents of this Waiver.

         I understand that I may take up to twenty-one (21) calendar days to
consider whether or not I desire to enter this Waiver. I was not coerced,
threatened or otherwise forced to sign this Waiver. I have made my choice to
sign this Waiver voluntarily and of my own free will.

         I understand that I may revoke this Waiver at any time during the seven
(7) calendar day period after I sign and deliver this Waiver to the Company. If
I revoke this Waiver, I must do so in writing delivered to the Company. I
understand that this Waiver is not effective until the expiration of this seven
(7) calendar day revocation period. I understand that upon the expiration of
such seven (7) calendar day revocation period this entire Waiver will be binding
upon me and will be irrevocable.

         I understand that by signing this Waiver I am giving up rights I may
have.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned hereby executes this Waiver this ____
day of ____________________, in the year _____.

                                                   Michael D. Garrett
