  STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL
  OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS


I, Nelson J. Marchioli, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Denny's
Corporation (formerly Advantica Restaurant Group, Inc.), state and attest that:

(1)     To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered reports
        of Denny's Corporation, and, except as corrected or supplemented in a
        subsequent covered report:

        no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material fact as of
        the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case of a report
        on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it
        was filed); and

        no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the
        statements in the covered report, in light of the circumstances under
        which they were made, not misleading as of the end of the period covered
        by such report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive
        proxy materials, as of the date on which it was filed).

(2)     I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's audit
        committee.

(3)     In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
        before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

        annual report on Form 10-K of Denny's Corporation (formerly Advantica
        Restaurant Group, Inc.) for the year ended December 26, 2001;

        all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all definitive
        proxy materials of Denny's Corporation (formerly Advantica Restaurant
        Group, Inc.) filed with the Commission subsequent to the filing of the
        Form 10-K identified above; and

        any amendments to any of the foregoing.
