         On March 25, 1998,  DenAmerica  Corp.  (the  "Company") sold 63 Denny's

Inc.,  a Texas  corporation,  for  $28.7  million,  consisting  of cash of $25.2
million and notes  totaling  $3.5  million.  The terms of the  transaction  were
determined by arms-length  negotiations  between  representatives of the Company
and  representatives  of the buyer.  The Company utilized the proceeds from this
transaction  to (i)  repay  an  outstanding  promissory  note at a $2.4  million
discount from its principal amount of approximately  $15.3 million;  (ii) cancel
outstanding warrants to acquire approximately 1.0 million shares of Common Stock
at  an  exercise  price  of  $1.90  per  share;  (iii)  permanently  reduce  its
outstanding  borrowings under the term loan portion of its credit facility;  and
(iv)  repay  certain  equipment   operating  leases  associated  with  the  sold
restaurants.
