  <P align=justify><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2>The Articles of Incorporation and
  Bylaws of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. provide that the Company&#146;s directors and
  officers shall not be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for
  monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer to the
  fullest extent permitted by North Carolina law. Under Section 55-8-51 of the
  North Carolina Business Corporation Act, the Company may indemnify a present or
  former director if the director acted in good faith and reasonably believed, in
  the course of conduct in the director&#146;s official capacity, that such conduct was
  in the Company&#146;s best interest. In all other cases, the director must have
  believed that such conduct was at least not opposed to the Company&#146;s best
  interest. In the case of any criminal proceeding, the director must have had no
  reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. The Company may not
  indemnify a director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
  Company in which the director was adjudged liable to the Company or, in
  connection with any other proceeding, whether or not involving action in an
  official capacity, in which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that
  personal benefit was improperly received by the director. Under North Carolina
  law, the Company may indemnify its officers to the same extent as its directors
  and to such further extent as is consistent with public policy. Insofar as
  indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
  permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant
  to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in
  the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
  expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. The Company
  maintains directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance against any actual or
  alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect or
  breach of duty by any director or officer, excluding certain matters including
  fraudulent, dishonest or criminal acts or self-dealing. The Company has also
  entered into indemnification agreements with each officer and each director
  pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide for the indemnification of
  and the advancement of expenses to each such officer and director party to such
  indemnification agreements and for the continued coverage of each such officer
  and director under the Company&#146;s directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance
  policies.</FONT></P>

        indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
        permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
        pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
        advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
        against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
        therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
        against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of
        expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
        the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
        is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
        with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the
        opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
        precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
        whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
        in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
        such issue.</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

  ITEM 4. Description of
  Securities.
  Not applicable.
  ITEM 5. Interests of named Experts
  and Counsel.
  Not applicable.
  ITEM 6. Indemnification of Directors
  and Officers.
  The Articles of Incorporation and
  Bylaws of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. provide that the Company's directors and
  officers shall not be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for
  monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer to the
  fullest extent permitted by North Carolina law. Under Section 55-8-51 of the
  North Carolina Business Corporation Act, the Company may indemnify a present or
  former director if the director acted in good faith and reasonably believed, in
  the course of conduct in the director's official capacity, that such conduct was
  in the Company's best interest. In all other cases, the director must have
  believed that such conduct was at least not opposed to the Company's best
  interest. In the case of any criminal proceeding, the director must have had no
  reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. The Company may not
  indemnify a director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
  Company in which the director was adjudged liable to the Company or, in
  connection with any other proceeding, whether or not involving action in an
  official capacity, in which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that
  personal benefit was improperly received by the director. Under North Carolina
  law, the Company may indemnify its officers to the same extent as its directors
  and to such further extent as is consistent with public policy. Insofar as
  indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
  permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant
  to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in
  the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
  expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. The Company
  maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance against any actual or
  alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect or
  breach of duty by any director or officer, excluding certain matters including
  fraudulent, dishonest or criminal acts or self-dealing. The Company has also
  entered into indemnification agreements with each officer and each director
  pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide for the indemnification of
  and the advancement of expenses to each such officer and director party to such
  indemnification agreements and for the continued coverage of each such officer
  and director under the Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance
  policies.
  ITEM 7. Exemption From Registration
  Claimed.

  ITEM 9.
  Undertakings.
  (a)
  The undersigned Company
        hereby undertakes:
  (1)
  to file, during any
        period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
        to this Registration Statement:
  (i)
  to include any prospectus
        required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
  (ii)
  to reflect in the prospectus any
        facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration
        Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
        individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
        information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the
        foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
        the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which
        was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
        estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
        prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
        aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20
        percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
        "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
        Statement; and
  (iii)
  to include any material
        information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
        disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
        information in the Registration Statement;
  provided, however, that paragraphs
  (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included
  in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
  reports filed with, or furnished to, the Commission by the Company pursuant to
  Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
  reference in this Registration Statement.
  5
  (2)
  That, for the purpose
        of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
        relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
        securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
        offering thereof.
  (3)
  To remove from
        registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
        being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
        offering.
  (b)
  The
        undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of
        determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
        Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
        Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
        plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that
        is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
        deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
        offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
        deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
  (c)
  Insofar as
        indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
        permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
        pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
        advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
        against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
        therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
        against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of
        expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
        the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
        is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
        with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the
        opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
        precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
        whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
        in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
        such issue.
