         THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") made and entered into by and

("Employee").

                               W I T N E S S E T H

         WHEREAS, Employee has been employed by the Company for approximately
thirty-five (35) years;

         WHEREAS, Employee is a highly compensated employee of the Company and
is a member of its management;

         WHEREAS, in order to be eligible for benefits under this Agreement, the
parties have agreed that Employee must separate from service with the Company on
March 19, 2006;

         WHEREAS, the parties desire to delineate their respective rights,
duties, and obligations attendant to such separation from service, and desire to
reach an accord and satisfaction of all claims arising from Employee's
employment and his separation from service, with appropriate releases; and

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to compensate Employee for service he has
provided or will provide for the Company;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and the agreements of
the parties set forth in this Agreement, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby covenant and agree as
follows:

<PAGE>

         1. Separation from Service. Upon Employee's execution of this
Agreement, voluntary separation from service with the Company on March 19, 2006
(the Employee's "Separation Date"), execution of the Release attached hereto as
Exhibit 1 on his Separation Date, and allowing such Release to become effective,
the Company agrees to pay to Employee or his spouse or his estate, as
applicable, the amount described in Paragraph 2 hereof. Employee covenants and
agrees that the consideration set forth in Paragraph 2 is in full satisfaction
of all sums owed to Employee, if any, by the Company, upon separation of service
and constitutes good and complete consideration for his Release attached hereto
as Exhibit 1, those non-disclosure and non-interference obligations under
Paragraphs 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 hereof and all other obligations and covenants of
Employee contained herein, including, but not limited to, Paragraph 4.
Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 1 to the contrary, this Agreement is
not intended to impair any rights Employee presently has under The Southern
Company Pension Plan, The Southern Company Employee Stock Ownership Plan, The
Southern Company Employee Savings Plan, The Southern Company Deferred
Compensation Plan, or The Southern Company Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan.
Employee agrees that this Agreement provides him certain benefits to which he
would not otherwise be entitled.

         2. Severance Payment to Employee.

         (a) Upon fulfilling the eligibility requirements set forth in Paragraph
1 hereof, the Company shall pay to Employee an amount equal to Seven Hundred
Eighty-Nine Thousand Four Hundred Dollars and No Cents ($789,400.00) as soon as
practicable following the Separation Date. In the event of a Southern Change in
Control or a Subsidiary Change in Control affecting Employee as defined in the
Southern Company Change in Control Benefit Plan Determination Policy, any unpaid

                                       2
<PAGE>

amount described in this Paragraph 2(a) shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as
practicable after the occurrence of such an event. The lump sum shall be equal
to the present value of any such unpaid amount based on an effective interest
rate of 7.5% per annum (0.6045% per month). In the event Employee dies before
receiving payment of the amount described in this Paragraph 2(a) hereof, such
amount shall be paid to Employee's spouse, if living, or if not, to the
Employee's estate. In accordance with Paragraph 20, Employee shall be
responsible for all state and federal income taxes and his share of FICA taxes
owed on the foregoing amount, and Company shall make appropriate withholding of
these amounts.

         (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Employee engages in
Misconduct, as defined below, before or after Employee's Separation Date but
prior to receiving the payment described in Paragraph 2(a) above, Company may
not make the payment to Employee under this Paragraph 2, and Company shall have
no further obligations with respect to any amounts under this Agreement. For
purposes of this Paragraph 2(b), "Misconduct" shall mean (i) the final
conviction of any felony, or (ii) the carrying out of any activity or the making
of any public statement which materially diminishes or materially and
untruthfully brings Southern into contempt, ridicule or materially and
reasonably shocks or offends the community in which the Southern affiliate is
located.

         3. Publicity; No Disparaging Statement. Except as otherwise provided in
Paragraph 13 hereof, Employee and the Company covenant and agree that they shall
not engage in any communications which shall disparage one another or interfere
with their existing or prospective business relationships.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         4. No Employment. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 5 hereof,
Employee agrees that he shall not seek re-employment as an employee, leased
employee or independent contractor with the Company or The Southern Company or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (individually, a "Southern Entity", and
collectively, the "Southern Entities"), for a period of twenty-four (24) months
following the effective date of the Release attached hereto as Exhibit 1. Except
as otherwise provided in Paragraph 5 hereof, the Company or any member of The
Southern Company System shall not rehire the Employee as an employee, leased
employee or independent contractor for a period of twenty-four (24) months
following the effective date of the Release attached hereto as Exhibit 1, unless
an exceptional business reason exists for rehiring the Employee and a committee,
comprised of (i) an officer from the business unit seeking to rehire the
Employee and (ii) the Southern Company Senior Vice President, Human Resources,
approves of such rehiring.

         5. Consulting Services. Upon Employee's voluntary separation from
service with the Company on his Separation Date and effectiveness of the Release
attached hereto as Exhibit 1, Employee agrees to provide consulting services to
the Company as an independent contractor in accordance with the Consulting
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.

         6. Business Protection Provision Definitions.

         (a) Preamble. As a material inducement to the Company to enter into
this Agreement, and its recognition of the valuable experience, knowledge and

         7. Nondisclosure: Ownership of Proprietary Property.

business interests, Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, Employee hereby
covenants and agrees that Employee shall regard and treat Trade Secrets and all
Confidential Information as strictly confidential and wholly-owned by the
Company and shall not, for any reason, in any fashion, either directly or
indirectly, use, sell, lend, lease, distribute, license, give, transfer, assign,
show, disclose, disseminate, reproduce, copy, misappropriate or otherwise
communicate any such item or information to any Entity for any purpose other
than in accordance with this Agreement or as required by applicable law: (i)
with regard to each item constituting a Trade Secret, at all times such
information remains a "trade secret" under applicable law, and (ii) with regard
to any Confidential Information, for a period of three (3) years following the
Separation Date (hereafter the "Restricted Period").

                                       7
<PAGE>

         (b) Employee shall exercise best efforts to ensure the continued
confidentiality of all Trade Secrets and Confidential Information, and he shall
immediately notify the Company of any unauthorized disclosure or use of any
Trade Secrets or Confidential Information of which Employee becomes aware.
Employee shall assist the Company, to the extent necessary, in the protection of
or procurement of any intellectual property protection or other rights in any of
the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information.

         (c) All Work Product shall be owned exclusively by the Company. To the
greatest extent possible, any Work Product shall be deemed to be "work made for
hire" (as defined in the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C.A. ss. 101 et seq., as
amended), and Employee hereby unconditionally and irrevocably transfers and
assigns to the Company all right, title and interest Employee currently has or
may have by operation of law or otherwise in or to any Work Product, including,
without limitation, all patents, copyrights, trademarks (and the goodwill
associated therewith), trade secrets, service marks (and the goodwill associated
therewith) and other intellectual property rights. Employee agrees to execute
and deliver to the Company any transfers, assignments, documents or other
instruments which the Company may deem necessary or appropriate, from time to
time, to protect the rights granted herein or to vest complete title and
ownership of any and all Work Product, and all associated intellectual property
and other rights therein, exclusively in the Company.

         (d) Employee represents and agrees that he will keep all terms and
provisions of this Agreement completely confidential, except for possible
disclosures to his legal advisors or to the extent required by law, and Employee
further agrees that he will not disclose the terms, provisions or information
contained in or concerning this Agreement to anyone, including, but not limited

                                       8
<PAGE>

to, any past, present, or prospective employee or applicant for employment with
the Company. Employee agrees that he may only disclose to future, potential
employers of Employee that he participates in a Separation Agreement with the
Company which imposes certain restrictions on him.

         8. Non-Interference With Employees. Employee covenants and agrees that
during the Restricted Period he will not, either directly or indirectly, alone
or in conjunction with any other person or Entity: (A) actively recruit,
solicit, attempt to solicit, or induce any person who, during such Restricted
Period, or within one year prior to the Separation Date, was an exempt employee
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or was an officer of any of the other
Southern Entities, to leave or cease such employment for any reason whatsoever;
or (B) hire or engage the services of any such person described in Paragraph
8(A) in any business substantially similar or competitive with that in which the
Southern Entities were engaged during his employment.

         9. Non-Interference With Customers.

         (a) Employee acknowledges that in the course of employment, he has
learned about Company's business, services, materials, agreements, programs and
products and the manner in which they are developed, marketed, serviced and
provided. Employee knows and acknowledges that the Company has invested
considerable time and money in developing its business concepts, ideas,
services, materials, programs, agreements, products, processes and marketing
techniques and that they are unique and original. Employee further acknowledges
that the Company must keep secret all pertinent information divulged to Employee
and Company's business concepts, ideas, services, materials, programs,
agreements, products, plans, processes, and marketing techniques so as not to

                                       9

aid Company's competitors. Accordingly, Company is entitled to the following
protection, which Employee agrees is reasonable:

         (b) Employee covenants and agrees that for a period of two (2) years
following the Separation Date, he will not, on his own behalf or on behalf of
any Entity, solicit, direct, appropriate, call upon, or initiate communication
or contact with any Entity or any representative of any Entity, with whom
Employee had contact during his employment, with a view toward the sale or the
providing of any product, equipment or service sold or provided or under
development by Company during the period of two (2) years immediately preceding
the Separation Date. The restrictions set forth in this section shall apply only
to Entities with whom Employee had actual contact during the two (2) years prior
to the Separation Date with a view toward the sale or providing of any product,
equipment or service sold or provided or under development by Company.

         10. Non-Interference With Business.

         (a) Employee and Company expressly covenant and agree that the scope,
territorial, time and other restrictions contained in this entire Agreement
constitute the most reasonable and equitable restrictions possible to protect
the business interest of the Company given: (i) the business of the Company;
(ii) the competitive nature of the Company's industry; and (iii) that Employee's
skills are such that he could easily find alternative, commensurate employment
or consulting work in his field which would not violate any of the provisions of
this Agreement. The Employee further acknowledges that the payments described in
Paragraph 2 are also in consideration of his covenants and agreements contained
in Paragraphs 6 through 10 hereof.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         (b) In the event Employee and the Company do not enter into the
Consulting Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2, Employee covenants and agrees
not to obtain or work in a Competitive Position within the Territory for a
period of two (2) years from the Separation Date.

         11. Return of Materials. Upon the Employee's separation from service,
or at any point after that time upon the specific request of the Company,
Employee shall return to the Company all written or descriptive materials of any
kind belonging or relating to the Company or its affiliates, including, without
limitation, any originals, copies and abstracts containing any Work Product,
intellectual property, Confidential Information and Trade Secrets in Employee's
possession or control.

         12. Cooperation. The parties agree that as a result of Employee's
duties and activities during his employment, Employee's reasonable availability
may be necessary for the Company to meaningfully respond to or address actual or
threatened litigation, government inquiries or investigations, or required
filings with state, federal or foreign agencies (hereinafter "Company Matters").
Upon request of the Company, and at any point following the Separation Date,
Employee will make himself available to the Company for reasonable periods
consistent with his future employment, if any, by other Entities and will
cooperate with its agents and attorneys as reasonably required by such Company
Matters. The Company will reimburse Employee for any reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses associated with providing such cooperation.

         13. Confidentiality and Legal Process. Employee represents and agrees
that he will keep the terms, amount and fact of this Agreement confidential and
that he will not hereafter disclose any information concerning this Agreement to

                                       11
<PAGE>

any one other than his personal agents, including, but not limited to, any past,
present, or prospective employee or applicant for employment with Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit
Employee from performing any duty or obligation that shall arise as a matter of
law. Specifically, Employee shall continue to be under a duty to truthfully
respond to any legal and valid subpoena or other legal process. This Agreement
is not intended in any way to proscribe Employee's right and ability to provide
information to any federal, state or local government in the lawful exercise of
such governments' governmental functions.

         14. Successors And Assigns; Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of Employee and his heirs, administrators,
representatives, executors, successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Company and its officers, directors, employees,
agents, shareholders, parent corporation and affiliates, and their respective
predecessors, successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators and each
of them, and to their heirs, administrators, representatives, executors,
successors and assigns. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, United States of America
(without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws).

         15. Complete Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute the full and
complete Agreement between the parties concerning its subject matter and fully
supersedes any and all other prior agreements or understandings between the
parties concerning the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be
modified or amended except by a written instrument signed by both Employee and
an authorized representative of the Company.

                                       12
<PAGE>

         16. Severability. The unenforceability or invalidity of any particular
provision of this Agreement shall not affect its other provisions, and to the
extent necessary to give such other provisions effect, they shall be deemed
severable. The judicial body interpreting this Agreement shall be authorized and
instructed to rewrite any of the sections which are enforceable as written in
such a fashion so that they may be enforced to the greatest extent legally
possible. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the covenants and
agreements contained in Paragraphs 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, shall be construed as
covenants and agreements independent of each other or any other contract between
the parties hereto and that the existence of any claim or cause of action by
Employee against Company, whether predicted upon this Agreement or any other
contract, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Company of said
covenants and agreements.

         17. Waiver Of Breach; Specific Performance. The waiver of a breach of
any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of
any other breach. Each of the parties to this Agreement will be entitled to
enforce its or his rights under this Agreement, specifically, to recover damages
by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all
other rights existing in its or his favor. The parties hereto agree and
acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of
the provisions of this Agreement and that any party may in its or his sole
discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for
specific performance or injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any
violations of the provisions of this Agreement.

         18. Unsecured General Creditor. The Company shall neither reserve nor
specifically set aside funds for the payment of its obligations under this

                                       13
<PAGE>

Agreement, and such obligations shall be paid solely from the general assets of
the Company. Notwithstanding that Employee may be entitled to receive the value
of his benefit under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the assets from
which such amount may be paid shall at all times be subject to the claims of the
Company's creditors.

         19. No Effect On Other Arrangements. It is expressly understood and
agreed that the payment made in accordance with this Agreement is in addition to
any other benefits or compensation to which Employee may be entitled or for
which he may be eligible, whether funded or unfunded, by reason of his
employment with the Company.

         20. Tax Withholding. There shall be deducted from each payment 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 Employee.

         21. Compensation. Any compensation contributed on behalf of Employee
under this Agreement shall not be considered "compensation," as the term is
defined in The Southern Company Employee Savings Plan, The Southern Company
Employee Stock Ownership Plan or The Southern Company Pension Plan. Payments
under this Agreement shall not be considered wages, salaries or compensation
under any other employee benefit plan.

         22. No Guarantee of Employment. No provision of this Agreement shall be
construed to affect in any manner the existing rights of the Company to suspend,
terminate, alter, modify, whether or not for cause, the employment relationship
of Employee and the Company.

         23. Interpretation. The judicial body interpreting this Agreement shall
not more strictly construe the terms of this Agreement against one party, it
being agreed that both parties and/or their attorneys or agents have negotiated
and participated in the preparation hereof.

bind the Company in any manner whatsoever.

         Additionally, Consultant hereby waives and relinquishes any right of
subrogation it might have against the Company under the provisions of the

subcontractors nor the agents or employees of his subcontractors shall be

                                       5

eligible to participate in any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or
its affiliates, including, but not limited to, any retirement plan, insurance

Company or any of their respective affiliates during the Term of this Agreement.

Consultant's skills are such that it could easily find alternative, commensurate
work in his field which would not violate any of the provisions of this

of any Trade Secrets or Confidential Information by Consultant, his agents,
employees or subcontractors except as otherwise authorized by the Company in
writing, or any other violation of Paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 would be wrongful and

                                       12
<PAGE>

cause immediate, significant, continuing and irreparable injury and damage to
the Company and the other Southern Entities that is not fully compensable by
monetary damages. Should Consultant breach or threaten to breach any provision
of Paragraphs 6, 7 and 8, the Company and any other Southern Entity shall be
entitled to obtain immediate relief and remedies in a court of competent
jurisdiction (including but not limited to damages, preliminary or permanent
injunctive relief and an accounting for all profits and benefits arising out of
Consultant's breach), cumulative of and in addition to any other rights or
remedies to which the Company and the other Southern Entities may be entitled by
this Agreement, at law or in equity.

with all federal, state, and local statutes, regulations, and public ordinances
governing his work hereunder and shall indemnify, defend and hold the Company

<PAGE>

         12. Indemnification. Consultant shall and does hereby expressly agree
to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors,
shareholders, employees, parent and affiliates against any and all suits,
actions, judgments, costs (including, without limitation, all court costs and
attorneys' fees), losses, damages, or claims of whatever nature arising out of
or related to any acts or omissions of Consultant, his agents, employees or
subcontractors, including, but not limited to, any injuries to or deaths of
persons or any damage to property or equipment. Consultant further agrees to
defend any and all such actions in any court or in arbitration.

         13. Waiver of Breach. The waiver by any party to this Agreement of a
breach of any provision, section or paragraph of this Agreement shall not
operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same, or of
a different provision, section or paragraph, by any party hereto.

         14. Assignment by Consultant. Consultant may not assign, transfer or
subcontract any of his rights or obligations under this Agreement to any party
without the prior written consent of the Company. Consultant's obligations under
this Agreement shall be binding on Consultant's successors and permitted
assigns. Any assignment, transfer or subcontracting in violation of this
provision shall be null and void.

         15. Survival. Notwithstanding any expiration or termination of this
Agreement, the provisions of Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18
and 19 hereof shall survive and remain in full force and effect, as shall any
other provision hereof that, by its terms or reasonable interpretation thereof,
sets forth obligations that extend beyond the termination of this Agreement.

                                       14
<PAGE>

         16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

         17. Severability. The unenforceability or invalidity of any particular
provision of this Agreement shall not affect its other provisions, and to the
extent necessary to give such other provisions effect, they shall be deemed
severable. The judicial body interpreting this Agreement shall be authorized and
instructed to rewrite any of the sections which are enforceable as written in
such a fashion so that they may be enforced to the greatest extent legally
possible. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the covenants and
agreements contained in Paragraphs 6, 7, and 8, shall be construed as covenants
and agreements independent of each other or any other contract between the
parties hereto and that the existence of any claim or cause of action by
Consultant against the Company, whether predicted upon this Agreement or any
other contract, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company
of said covenants and agreements.

         18. Interpretation. Should a provision of this Agreement require
judicial interpretation, it is agreed that the judicial body interpreting or
construing the Agreement shall not apply the assumption that the terms hereof
shall be more strictly construed against one party by reason of the rule of
construction that an instrument is to be construed more strictly against the
party which itself or through its or his agents prepared the agreement, it being
agreed that all parties and/or their agents have participated in the preparation
hereof.

         19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement of
the parties and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties hereto
relating to the subject matter hereof. It may not be changed orally, but only by
an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any
waiver, change, modification, extension or discharge is sought.
