      Borrower requests that the relevant Advance be made available (the “Drawdown Date”). A Utilization Request shall be signed by an authorized representative of the Borrower and once served, such Utilization
      Request cannot be revoked without the prior written consent of the Lender.

     

    
      
        

    

    
    3.02.       Conditions of Utilization. The conditions referred to in Clause 3.01 are that:

     

    	

          	(a)

          	(b)	
            the aggregate amount of all the Loans shall not exceed the amount of the Facility;

          

     

    	

          	(c)	
            the conditions set out in Clause 8 (as applicable to the relevant Utilization Request) have been complied with by the Borrower.

          

     

    3.03.       No Revolving Credit.  The Borrower may not re-borrow any part of the Facility which is repaid.

      months following the relevant Drawdown Date and on the Maturity Date. All interest and other payments which are periodic or payable by reference to a rate per annum under this Agreement shall accrue from day to day and be calculated on the basis of
      actual number of days elapsed and a three hundred and sixty (360) day year.

     

    4.02.      Default Interest.  In case of failure of the Borrower to pay any sum due under this Agreement on the date on which such amount is due and payable pursuant to this Agreement and irrespective of any
      notice by the Lender or any other person to the Borrower in respect of such failure, the Borrower shall pay default interest on such sum from the date of such default up to the date of actual payment at the rate of two percent (2.0%) per annum above
      the interest rate provided for in Clause 4.01.

     

    	5.	
            REPAYMENT- VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT

          

     

    5.01.     Repayment.  The Borrower shall repay all the Loans on the Maturity Date.  On the Maturity Date, any undrawn amount of the Facility shall be automatically cancelled and revoked without any further
      notice to the Borrower. On the Maturity Date any interest owing and unpaid, costs and any other amounts owing under this Agreement shall be due and payable in full.

     

    5.02.      Voluntary Prepayment.  The Borrower shall have the right at any time to prepay a Loan or part thereof together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon and all other sums of money whatsoever due and
      owing from the Borrower to the Lender under such Loan.

     

    5.03.      Deemed Mandatory Repayment.  The Borrower and the Lender agree that the Lender shall have the option to elect, by written notice to the Borrower upon submission of a notice of conversion of shares of
      the Borrower’s Series B Convertible Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock held by the Lender, that the Borrower shall immediately apply the aggregate cash conversion price payable by the Lender in connection with the conversion of such shares as a
      repayment of a Loan or part thereof or any other sums of money whatsoever due and owing from the Borrower to the Lender under such Loan. Upon issuance of the shares of Series C Convertible Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock pursuant to the notice
      of conversion submitted in connection with such an election, the Borrower will be deemed to have received full payment of the aggregate conversion price, and the Lender will be deemed to have received a repayment of the same amount in the manner set
      forth in the previous sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Clause 5.04 will not apply if, within one (1) Banking Day of the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the Lender’s notice hereunder, the Borrower notifies the Lender
      in writing that such repayment would violate any provision of the Borrower’s other credit facilities or financing arrangements at such time.

      to the Borrower.

     

    6.02.      Payments on Banking Days.  All payments due shall be made on a Banking Day. If the due date for payment falls on a day which is not a Banking Day, such payment or payments shall be made on the first
      Banking Day thereafter, provided that this falls in the same calendar month. If it does not, payments shall fall due and be made on the last Banking Day before said due date.

     

    6.03.      No Withholdings – Gross Up. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made in full, without set-off or counterclaim whatsoever, and free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for,
      or on account of taxes or withholdings and any restrictions or conditions resulting in any charge whatsoever imposed, either now or hereafter, by any legal or regulatory provisions at the place of payment or receipt of any amount payable under this
      Agreement; and the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the Lender will receive a net amount equal to the full amount which would have been received had payment not been made, subject to such
      deductions, charges or withholdings.

              appointed shall appoint the third who shall act as chairman of such panel of arbitrators.  Upon receipt by one party of the nomination in writing of such other party’s arbitrator, that party shall appoint its arbitrator within ten days,
              failing which the decision of the single arbitrator appointed shall apply. The two arbitrators so appointed shall appoint the third arbitrator within ten days, failing which the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the President of the
              London Maritime Arbitrators Association (“LMAA”) at the time within twenty one days of the two arbitrators being appointed. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the terms of the LMAA
              then in effect.  The parties agree that any tribunal constituted under this Agreement shall have the power to order consolidation of proceedings or concurrent hearings in relation to any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with
              this Agreement or the other documents contemplated thereby, which involve common questions of fact or law, and to make any orders ancillary to the same, including, without limitation, any orders relating to the procedures to be followed by
              the parties in any such consolidated proceedings or concurrent hearings. Consolidated disputes are to be heard by a maximum of three arbitrators, each party to have the right to appoint one arbitrator. In case a dispute arises as to whether
              consolidation is appropriate (including without limitation conflicting orders of relevant tribunals) and/or as to the constitution of the tribunal for any such consolidated proceedings, each party shall have the right to apply to the
              President for the time being of the LMAA for final determination of the consolidation of the proceedings and/or constitution of such tribunal.

          

     

    12.12.    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and supersedes all previous written, oral or implied understandings
      among them with respect to such matters.

Exhibit 4.1

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following description summarizes important terms of our capital stock. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (our “certificate of incorporation”) and our amended and restated by-laws (our “by-laws”), copies of which have been filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For a complete description of our capital stock, you should refer to our certificate of incorporation, our by-laws and applicable provisions of Delaware law. As used in this section, “we,” “us,” and “our,” mean Krispy Kreme, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its successors, but not any of its subsidiaries. 
Our authorized capital stock consists of 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
Common Stock
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all holders of shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy. Except as otherwise provided by law, amendments to the certificate of incorporation must be approved by a majority or, in some cases, a super-majority of the voting power of all shares of common stock.
Holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding preferred stock.
Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up and after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata our remaining assets available for distribution.
Holders of our common stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The common stock will not be subject to further calls or assessment by us. There will be no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All shares of our common stock that will be outstanding at the time of the completion of the offering will be fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
Our certificate of incorporation will authorize our board of directors to establish one or more series of preferred stock (including convertible preferred stock).
Unless required by law or by any stock exchange, the authorized shares of preferred stock will be available for issuance without further action by you. Our board of directors may determine, with respect to any series of preferred stock, the terms and rights of that series, including:
•the designation of the series;
•the number of shares of the series, which our board of directors may, except where otherwise provided in the preferred stock designation, increase or decrease, but not below the number of shares then outstanding;
•the dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of the series;
•whether the shares of the series will be convertible into shares of any other class or series, or any other security, of our Company or any other entity, and, if so, the specification of the other class or series or other security, the conversion price or prices or rate or rates, any rate adjustments, the date or dates as of which the shares will be convertible and all other terms and conditions upon which the conversion may be made;
•restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series; and
•the voting rights, if any, of the holders of the series.
We may issue a series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of the series, impede or discourage a takeover attempt or other transaction that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interests, including a takeover attempt that might result in a premium over the market price for holders of shares of common stock.
Investors’ Rights Agreement
For the Investors’ Rights Agreement that we have with JAB, see Exhibit 10.7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal Year ended January 2, 2022. 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Organizational Documents
The following is a summary of certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws that may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interests, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for holders of shares of common stock.
Authorized but Unissued Shares
The authorized but unissued shares of our common stock and our preferred stock will be available for future issuance without obtaining stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control over us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Certain Anti-takeover Provisions of Delaware Law
We will be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, regulating corporate takeovers. This statute prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with:
•a stockholder who owns 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an “interested stockholder”);
•an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or
•an associate of an interested stockholder for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.
A “business combination” includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of our assets. However, the above provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL do not apply if:
•our board of directors approves the transaction that made the stockholder an “interested stockholder” prior to the date of the transaction;
•after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of common stock; or
•on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized at a meeting of our stockholders, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.
Choice of Forum
Our by-laws will provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a duty (including any fiduciary duty) owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents to us or our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents arising out of or relating to any provision of the DGCL or our certificate of incorporation or our by-laws; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware. Our by-laws will also provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.
Moreover, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and our by-laws will provide that the exclusive forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. Accordingly, actions by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder must be brought in federal court.
Our by-laws will also provide that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our common stock will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the foregoing provisions; provided, however, that stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. We recognize that the forum selection clause in our by-laws may impose additional litigation costs on stockholders in pursuing any such claims, particularly if the stockholders do not reside in or near the State of Delaware. Additionally, the forum selection clause in our by-laws may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees and agents even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments may be more or less favorable to us than our stockholders.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation is not permitted under the DGCL, as may be amended.
Our by-laws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. We are also expressly authorized to advance certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees) to our directors and officers and carry directors’ and officers’ insurance providing indemnification for our directors and officers for some liabilities. We believe that these indemnification provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.
Prior to completion of this offering, we intend to enter into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. Each indemnification agreement will provide, among other things, for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and our certificate of incorporation against any and all expenses and liabilities, including judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of any claim with our approval and counsel fees and disbursements and any liabilities incurred as a result of acting on our behalf (as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with an employee benefit plan. The indemnification agreements will provide for the advancement or payment of all expenses to the indemnitee and for reimbursement to us if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable law and our by-law. These provisions and agreements may have the practical effect in some cases of eliminating our stockholders’ ability to collect monetary damages from our directors and executive officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
