INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

Section 8.1 Indemnification Obligations. Following the entry of the BCA Approval Order, the Company and the other Debtors (the “Indemnifying Parties” and each, an “Indemnifying Party”) shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Commitment Party and its Affiliates, equity holders, members, direct and indirect general and limited partners, managers and its and their respective Representatives and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and costs and expenses (other than Taxes of the Commitment Party except to the extent otherwise provided for in this Agreement) arising out of a claim asserted by a third-party (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Indemnified Person may incur or to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Plan and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Backstop Commitment, the Rights Offerings, the issuance of the Commitment Fee Common Stock or the use of the proceeds of the Rights Offerings, or any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Company, the other Debtors, their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other Person, and reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for reasonable documented (with such documentation subject to redaction to preserve attorney client and work product privileges) legal or other third-party expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence in or preparing to serve or serving as a witness with respect to, any lawsuit, investigation, claim or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including in connection with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth herein), irrespective of whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Plan are consummated or whether or not this Agreement is terminated; provided, that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Losses (a) as to the Commitment Party, its Related Parties or any Indemnified Person related thereto, caused by a Commitment Party Default or a material breach of the Commitment Party’s obligations under this Agreement, or (b) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person.

Section 8.2 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, that (a) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and (b) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Article VIII. In case any such Indemnified Claims are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, at its election by providing written notice to such Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person; provided, that if the parties (including any impleaded parties) to any such Indemnified Claims include both such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and based on advice of such Indemnified Person’s counsel there are legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claims. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the defense of such Indemnified Claims with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof or participation therein (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (i) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Persons who are parties to such Indemnified Claims (in addition to one local counsel in each jurisdiction in which local counsel is required)), (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of commencement of the Indemnified Claims from, or delivered on behalf of, the Indemnified Person, (iii) after the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Indemnified Claims, the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to defend such claim and provides written notice of such determination and the basis for such determination, and such failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice, or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Debtors shall have sole control over any Tax controversy or Tax audit and shall be permitted to settle any liability for Taxes of the Debtors.

Section 8.3 Settlement of Indemnified Claims. In connection with any Indemnified Claim for which an Indemnified Person is assuming the defense in accordance with this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected by such Indemnified Person without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If any settlement of any Indemnified Claims is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Indemnified Claims, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment to the extent such Losses are otherwise subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, this Article VIII. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall be granted or withheld, conditioned or delayed in the Indemnified Person’s sole discretion), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims in respect of which indemnity or contribution has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnified Claims and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

Section 8.4 Contribution. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless from Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. It is hereby agreed that the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Company pursuant to the issuance and sale of the Rights Offering Common Stock contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan bears to (b) the Commitment Fee Common Stock issued or proposed to be issued to the Commitment Party. The Indemnifying Parties also agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability based on their comparative or contributory negligence or otherwise to the Indemnifying Parties, any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any of the Indemnifying Parties, or any other Person in connection with an Indemnified Claim.

Section 8.5 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Person under this Article VIII shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated as adjustments to the Offering Price for all Tax purposes. The provisions of this Article VIII are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Commitment Party would not have entered into this Agreement. The BCA Approval Order shall provide that the obligations of the Company under this Article VIII shall constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estate under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code and are payable without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court, and that the Company may comply with the requirements of this Article VIII without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

(b) (i) the Company or the other Debtors shall have breached any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement made by the Company or the other Debtors in this Agreement or any such representation or warranty shall have become inaccurate and such breach or inaccuracy would, individually or in the aggregate, cause a condition set forth in Section 7.1(k), Section 7.1(l), or Section 7.1(m) not to be satisfied, (ii) the Commitment Parties shall have delivered written notice of such breach or inaccuracy to the Company, (iii) such breach or inaccuracy is not cured by the Company or the other Debtors by the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt of such notice, and (iv) as a result of such failure to cure, any condition set forth in Section 7.1(k), Section 7.1(l), or Section 7.1(m) is not capable of being satisfied; provided, that, this Agreement shall not terminate automatically pursuant to this Section 9.2(b) if the Commitment Parties are then in willful or intentional breach of this Agreement;

(c) any Law or final and non-appealable Order shall have been enacted, adopted or issued by any Governmental Entity that prohibits the implementation of the Plan or any Rights Offering or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or the Registration Rights Agreement in a way that cannot be remedied by the Debtors subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Commitment Parties;

(d) (i) the Bankruptcy Court approves or authorizes an Alternative Transaction; (ii) any of the Debtors enters into any Contract providing for the consummation of any Alternative Transaction; or (iii) any of the Debtors files a pleading seeking authority to enter into an Alternative Transaction;

(e) the Company or any other Debtor (i) materially and adversely (to the Commitment Parties) amends or modifies, or files a pleading seeking authority to amend or modify, the Definitive Documentation in a manner that is materially inconsistent with this Agreement without the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Commitment Parties or (ii) publicly announces its intention to take any such action listed in sub-clause (f) of this subsection;

(f) the BCA Approval Order, Disclosure Statement Order or Confirmation Order is terminated, reversed, stayed, dismissed, vacated, or reconsidered, or any such Order is modified or amended after entry without the prior acquiescence or written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Commitment Parties in a manner that prevents or prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a way that cannot be remedied by the Debtors subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Commitment Parties; or

(g) any of the Orders approving the Exit Facility, the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Rights Offering Procedures, the Plan or the Disclosure Statement, or the Confirmation Order are reversed, stayed, dismissed, vacated or reconsidered or modified or amended without the acquiescence or written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Commitment Parties (and such action has not been reversed or vacated within thirty (30) calendar days after its issuance) in a manner that prevents or prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or any of the Definitive Documents in a way that cannot be remedied by the Debtors subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Commitment Parties.

Section 9.3 Termination by the Company.

This Agreement may be terminated by the Company upon written notice to the Commitment Parties upon the occurrence of any of the following Events, subject to the rights of the Company to fully and conditionally waive, in writing, on a prospective or retroactive basis the occurrence of such Event:

(a) any Law or final and non-appealable Order shall have been enacted, adopted or issued by any Governmental Entity that prohibits the implementation of the Plan or any Rights Offering or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or the Registration Rights Agreement in a way that cannot be remedied by the Debtors subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Commitment Parties;

(b) (i) the Commitment Parties shall have breached any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement in this Agreement or any such representation or warranty shall have become inaccurate and such breach or inaccuracy would, individually or in the aggregate, cause a condition set forth in Section 7.3(g) or Section 7.3(h) not to be satisfied, (ii) the Company shall have delivered written notice of such breach or inaccuracy to the Commitment Parties, (iii) such breach or inaccuracy is not cured by the Commitment Parties by the earlier of (x) the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt of such notice and (y) two (2) Business Days prior to the Outside Date, and (iv) as a result of such failure to cure, any condition set forth in Section 7.3(g) or Section 7.3(h) is not capable of being satisfied; provided, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.3(b) if it is then in willful or intentional breach of this Agreement;

(c) the BCA Approval Order, Disclosure Statement Order, or Confirmation Order is terminated, reversed, stayed, dismissed, vacated, or reconsidered, or any such Order is modified or amended after entry without the prior acquiescence or written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Company in a manner that prevents or prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or any of the Definitive Documents in a way that cannot be remedied by the Commitment Parties subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Debtors;

(d) any of the Orders approving the Exit Facility, this Agreement, the Rights Offering Procedures, the Plan or the Disclosure Statement, or the Confirmation Order are reversed, stayed, dismissed, vacated or reconsidered or modified or amended without the acquiescence or consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Company (and such action has not been reversed or vacated within thirty (30) calendar days after its issuance) in a manner that prevents or prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or any of the Definitive Documents in a way that cannot be remedied by the Commitment Parties subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Debtors;

(e) solely if the Bankruptcy Court has not yet entered the Confirmation Order, the board of directors of the Company determines that continued performance under this Agreement (including taking any action or refraining from taking any action and including, without limitation, the Plan or solicitation of the Plan) would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties (as reasonably determined by such entity in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and based on the advice of such counsel); or

(f) the Closing Date has not occurred by the Outside Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 2.3(e)), unless prior thereto the Effective Date occurs and each Rights Offering has been consummated; provided, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.3(f) if it is then in willful or intentional breach of this Agreement.

Section 9.4 Termination by the Commitment Party.

This Agreement may be terminated by the Commitment Party upon written notice to the Commitment Parties upon the occurrence of any of the following Events, subject to the rights of the Company to fully and conditionally waive, in writing, on a prospective or retroactive basis the occurrence of such Event, if more than 30% of the Debtors’ stores remain closed in connection with COVID-19 for two weeks, measured on a rolling basis.

Section 9.5 Effect of Termination.

(a) Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article IX, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no further obligations or liabilities on the part of the Parties; provided, that (i) except in the case of a Commitment Party Default or a termination pursuant to Section 9.3(b), the obligations of the Debtors to pay the Expense Reimbursement pursuant to Article III and to satisfy their indemnification obligations pursuant to Article VIII and to issue the Commitment Fee Common Stock pursuant to Section 9.5(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect, in each case, until such obligations have been satisfied, (ii) the provisions set forth in Article VIII, this Section 9.5 and Article X shall survive the termination of this Agreemen5 in accordance with their terms and (iii) subject to Section 10.10, nothing in this Section 9.4 shall relieve any Party from liability for its gross negligence or any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful or intentional breach” means a breach of this Agreement that is a consequence of an act undertaken by the breaching Party with the knowledge that the taking of such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause a breach of this Agreement.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than by the Company under Section 9.3(b), the Debtors shall, promptly after the date of such termination, issue the Commitment Fee Common Stock to the Commitment Parties or their respective designees, in accordance with Section 3.2. To the extent that the Commitment Fee Common Stock has actually been issued by the Company to the Commitment Parties in connection with a termination of this Agreement, the Commitment Parties shall not have any additional recourse against the Debtors for any obligations or liabilities relating to or arising from this Agreement, except for liability for gross negligence or willful or intentional breach of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.5(a). Except as set forth in this Section 9.5(b), the Commitment Fee Common Stock shall not be issuable upon the termination of this Agreement. The Commitment Fee Common Stock shall, pursuant to the BCA Approval Order, constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estate under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Exhibit A

Rights Offering Procedures

TUESDAY MORNING CORPORATION (THE “COMPANY”)

RIGHTS OFFERING PROCEDURES¹

Each Rights Offering Share (as defined below) is being issued by the Debtors without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon (1) the exemption provided in Section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Rights Offering Shares being offered in the Eligible Offeree Rights Offering (as defined below),² and (2) the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act with respect to the Rights Offering Shares being offered in the Section 4(a)(2) Rights Offering (as defined below). None of the Share Purchase Rights or the Rights Offering Shares issuable upon exercise of such rights distributed pursuant to these Rights Offering Procedures have been or will be registered under the Securities Act, nor any state or local law requiring registration for offer and sale of a security.

The Share Purchase Rights are not transferable, except as permitted by the Backstop Agreement (with respect to the Backstop Party) or as agreed to by the Company and the Backstop Party.

The Disclosure Statement (as defined below) has previously been distributed in connection with the Debtors’ solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan (as defined below) and that document sets forth important information, including risk factors, that should be carefully read and considered by each Eligible Offeree (as defined below) prior to making a decision to participate in the Rights Offerings. Additional copies of the Disclosure Statement are available upon request from the Subscription Agent.

The Rights Offerings are being conducted by the Company on behalf of Reorganized Tuesday Morning Corporation in good faith and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code. In accordance with Section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor or any of its agents that participate, in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, in the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of a security offered or sold under the plan of the debtor, of an affiliate participating in a joint plan with the debtor, or of a newly organized successor to the debtor under the plan, is not liable, on account of such participation, for violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the offer, issuance, sale or purchase of securities.

¹Terms used and not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Tuesday Morning Corporation, et. al., Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as may be amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”).

²If the Aggregate Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Tuesday Morning Common Stock is less than $32 million as of the Effective Date, Tuesday Morning Corporation shall file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Eligible Offeree Rights Offering.

Eligible Offerees should note the following times relating to the Rights Offerings:

Date	Calendar Date	Event
Record Date	[•],20[__]	The date and time fixed by the Company for the determination of the holders eligible to participate in the Rights Offerings.

Subscription Commencement Date	[•],20[__]	Commencement of the Rights Offerings.

Subscription Expiration Deadline	4:00 p.m. Central Time on [•], 2021³	The deadline for Eligible Offerees to subscribe for Rights Offering Shares. If an Eligible Offeree owns its Existing Common Stock through a broker, bank, commercial bank, trust company, dealer, or other agent or nominee (a “Nominee”), the Eligible Offeree’s applicable Beneficial Owner Offering Form(s) (with accompanying IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable) must be received by the Eligible Offeree’s Nominee (as defined below) in sufficient time to allow such Nominee to deliver the Master Subscription Form to the Subscription Agent by the Subscription Expiration Deadline. Eligible Offerees (other than the Backstop Party) must deliver the aggregate Purchase Price (as defined below) by the Subscription Expiration Deadline. The Backstop Party must deliver the aggregate Purchase Price no later than the deadline specified in the Funding Notice (as defined below) in accordance with the terms of the Backstop Agreement.

³ Shall be the 30^th day after the Effective Date of the Plan, unless the Aggregate Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Tuesday Morning Common Stock is less than $32 million as of the Effective Date, in which case the Subscription Expiration Deadline shall be the 30^th day after a registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act with respect to the Eligible Offeree Rights Offering.

To Eligible Offerees and Nominees of Eligible Offerees:

On November 15, 2020, the Debtors filed the Plan with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, and the Disclosure Statement in Support of the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Tuesday Morning Corporation, et. al., Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Disclosure Statement”). Pursuant to the Plan, each holder of an outstanding share of the Existing Common Stock as of the Rights Offering Record Date (each such holder, an “Eligible Offeree”) has a right to participate in the Eligible Offeree Rights Offering (as defined below), and the Backstop Party shall participate in the Section 4(a)(2) Rights Offering (as defined below), in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions of these Rights Offering Procedures. The Eligible Offeree Rights Offering and the Section 4(a)(2) Rights Offering are collectively referred to herein as the “Rights Offerings”.

Pursuant to the Plan, in exchange for each outstanding share of the Existing Common Stock held by an Eligible Offeree as of the Rights Offering Record Date, the Eligible Offeree will receive (1) one share of the New Common Stock and (2) rights to subscribe for its pro rata portion of a rights offering of the New Common Stock in an aggregate amount of $24,000,000 (the “Eligible Offeree Rights Offering,” and such shares, the “Eligible Offeree Rights Offering Shares”), provided that it timely and properly executes and delivers its applicable Beneficial Owner Offering Form(s) (with accompanying IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable) to the Subscription Agent (in the case of Eligible Offerees that directly own the Existing Common Stock) or its Nominee (in the case of Eligible Offerees that hold their Existing Common Stock through a Nominee), as applicable, in advance of the Subscription Expiration Deadline. The pro rata portion of the $24,000,000 amount available to Eligible Offerees in the Eligible Offeree Rights Offering shall be calculated by dividing the number of shares of the Existing Common Stock held by an Eligible Offeree on the Rights Offering Record Date by the total number of shares of the Existing Common Stock outstanding on the Rights Offering Record Date. Each Nominee will receive a Master Subscription Form which it shall use to summarize the Share Purchase Rights exercised by each Eligible Offeree that timely returns the applicable properly filled out Beneficial Owner Offering Form(s) to such Nominee. Beneficial Owner Offering Forms should only be returned directly to the Subscription Agent if the Eligible Offeree is the direct holder of record on the books of the stock transfer registration books of Tuesday Morning Corporation and does not hold its Existing Common Stock through a Nominee.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Backstop Party will receive rights to subscribe for shares of the New Common Stock in an aggregate amount of $16,000,000 (the “Section 4(a)(2) Rights Offering,” and such shares, the “Base Section 4(a)(2) Rights Offering Shares”). Pursuant to the Backstop Agreement, the Backstop Party has agreed to purchase all of the Base Section 4(a)(2) Rights Offering Shares. To the extent that Eligible Offerees do not exercise all of the Share Purchase Rights on or prior to the expiration of the Eligible Offeree Rights Offering, the Backstop Party has agreed, pursuant to the Backstop Commitment, to purchase all of the shares of the Rights Offering Shares underlying the unpurchased shares (the “Backstop Shares”) and, together with the Base Section 4(a)(2) Rights Offering Shares, the “Section 4(a)(2) Rights Offering Shares”). The Eligible Offeree Rights Offering Shares and the Section 4(a)(2) Rights Offering Shares are referred to together as the “Rights Offering Shares”.

Please note that for Eligible Offerees that hold their Existing Common Stock through a Nominee, all Beneficial Owner Offering Forms (with accompanying IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable) must be returned to the applicable Nominee in sufficient time to allow such Nominee to process and deliver the Master Subscription Form and copies of all Beneficial Owner Offering Forms, and the accompanying IRS Forms prior to the Subscription Expiration Deadline. To the extent of any discrepancy between the Master Subscription Form and the Beneficial Owner Offering Form(s) regarding the Eligible Offeree’s holdings of the Existing Common Stock, the Master Subscription Form shall govern. While the amount of time necessary for a Nominee to process and deliver the Master Subscription Form to the Subscription Agent will vary from Nominee to Nominee, Eligible Offerees are urged to consult with their Nominees to determine the necessary deadline to return their Beneficial Owner Offering Forms. An Eligible Offeree that is the direct holder of record on the books of the stock transfer registration books of Tuesday Morning Corporation and does not hold its Existing Common Stock through a Nominee should deliver its Beneficial Owner Offering Form directly to the Subscription Agent. Failure to submit such Beneficial Owner Offering Forms on a timely basis will result in forfeiture of an Eligible Offeree’s rights to participate in the Eligible Offeree Rights Offering. None of the Company, the Subscription Agent or the Backstop Party will have any liability for any such failure.

No Eligible Offeree shall be entitled to participate in the Eligible Offeree Rights Offering unless the aggregate Purchase Price (as defined below) for the Rights Offering Shares it subscribes for is received by the Subscription Agent (i) in the case of an Eligible Offeree that is not the Backstop Party, by the Subscription Expiration Deadline, and (ii) in the case of the Backstop Party, no later than the deadline specified in a written notice (a “Funding Notice”) delivered by or on behalf of the Debtors to the Backstop Party in accordance with the Backstop Agreement (the “Backstop Funding Deadline”), provided that the Backstop Party may deposit its aggregate Purchase Price in the Escrow Account (as defined below), in accordance with the terms of the Backstop Agreement. No interest is payable on any advanced funding of the Purchase Price. If the Rights Offerings are terminated for any reason, the aggregate Purchase Price previously received by the Subscription Agent will be returned to Eligible Offerees and the Backstop Party, as applicable, as provided in Section 6 hereof. No interest will be paid on any returned Purchase Price. Any Eligible Offeree submitting payment via its Nominee must coordinate such payment with its Nominee in sufficient time to allow the Nominee to forward such payment to the Subscription Agent by the Subscription Expiration Deadline.

In order to participate in the Eligible Offeree Rights Offering, an Eligible Offeree must complete all of the steps outlined below. If all of the steps outlined below are not completed by the Subscription Expiration Deadline or the Backstop Funding Deadline, as applicable, an Eligible Offeree shall be deemed to have forever and irrevocably relinquished and waived its right to participate in the Eligible Offeree Rights Offering.

1. Rights Offerings

Eligible Offerees have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the Eligible Offeree Rights Offering.

Eligible Offerees shall receive rights to subscribe for their pro rata portion of the Eligible Offeree Rights Offering Shares.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and these Rights Offering Procedures, each Eligible Offeree is entitled to subscribe for its pro rata portion of Eligible Offeree Rights Offering Shares (calculated as described above) at a purchase price of $1.10 per share (the “Purchase Price”). Pursuant to the Backstop Agreement, the Backstop Party has agreed to purchase the Section 4(a)(2) Rights Offering Shares at the Purchase Price.

There will be no over-subscription privilege in the Rights Offerings. Any Eligible Offeree Rights Offering Shares that are unsubscribed by the Eligible Offerees entitled thereto will not be offered to other Eligible Offerees but will be purchased by the Backstop Party in accordance with the Backstop Agreement.

Any Eligible Offeree that subscribes for Eligible Offeree Rights Offering Shares and is deemed to be an “underwriter” under Section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code will be subject to restrictions under the Securities Act on its ability to resell those securities. Resale restrictions are discussed in more detail in Article XVI of the Disclosure Statement, entitled “Securities Law Considerations.”

The securities to be issued to the Backstop Party pursuant to the Backstop Agreement shall be exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act. As a result, such securities will be “restricted securities”. Pursuant to the Backstop Agreement, Tuesday Morning Corporation agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the securities acquired by the Backstop Party pursuant to the Backstop Agreement.

SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE RIGHTS OFFERING PROCEDURES AND THE BACKSTOP AGREEMENT IN THE CASE OF THE BACKSTOP PARTY, ALL SUBSCRIPTIONS SET FORTH IN THE APPLICABLE BENEFICIAL OWNER OFFERING FORM(S) ARE IRREVOCABLE.

2. Subscription Period

The Rights Offerings will commence on the Subscription Commencement Date and will expire at the Subscription Expiration Deadline. Each Eligible Offeree intending to purchase Eligible Offeree Rights Offering Shares in the Eligible Offeree Rights Offering must affirmatively elect to exercise its Share Purchase Rights in the manner set forth in the applicable Subscription Form by the Subscription Expiration Deadline.

Any exercise of Share Purchase Rights by an Eligible Offeree after the Subscription Expiration Deadline will not be allowed and any purported exercise received by the Subscription Agent after the Subscription Expiration Deadline, regardless of when the documents or payment relating to such exercise were sent, will not be honored, except that the Company shall have the discretion, with the consent of the Backstop Party, to allow any exercise of Share Purchase Rights in the Eligible Offeree Rights Offering after the Subscription Expiration Deadline.

The Subscription Expiration Deadline may be extended by the Company with the consent of the Backstop Party, or as required by law.

3. Delivery of Subscription Documents

Each Eligible Offeree may exercise all or any portion of such Eligible Offeree’s Share Purchase Rights, but subject to the terms and conditions contained herein. In order to facilitate the exercise of the Share Purchase Rights, beginning on the Subscription Commencement Date, the applicable Subscription Form and these Rights Offering Procedures will be sent to each Eligible Offeree, together with appropriate instructions for the proper completion, due execution and timely delivery of the executed Subscription Form and the payment of the applicable aggregate Purchase Price for its Rights Offering Shares.

4. Exercise of Share Purchase Rights

(a)	In order to validly exercise its Share Purchase Rights, each Eligible Offeree that is not the Backstop Party must:

return duly completed and executed applicable Beneficial Owner Offering Form(s) (with accompanying IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable) to the Subscription Agent (if the Eligible Offeree directly owns its Existing Common Stock) or its Nominee (if the Eligible Offeree holds its Existing Common Stock through a Nominee), as applicable, so that, if applicable, such documents may be transmitted to the Subscription Agent by the Nominee, so that such documents are actually received by the Subscription Agent by the Subscription Expiration Deadline; and

ii.

(A) if the Eligible Offeree the direct holder of record of the Existing Common Stock on the books of the stock transfer registration books of Tuesday Morning Corporation, at the same time it returns its Beneficial Owner Offering Form(s) to the Subscription Agent, but in no event later than the Subscription Expiration Deadline pay the applicable Purchase Price to the Subscription Agent by wire transfer ONLY of immediately available funds in accordance with the instructions included in the applicable Beneficial Owner Offering Form(s); or

(B) if the Eligible Offeree holds its Existing Common Stock through a Nominee, at the same time it returns its Beneficial Owner Offering Form(s) to its Nominee, but in no event later than the Subscription Expiration Deadline, pay, or arrange for the payment by its Nominee of, the applicable Purchase Price to the Subscription Agent by wire transfer ONLY of immediately available funds in accordance with the instructions included in the applicable Beneficial Owner Offering Form(s).

(b)	The Backstop Party must:

return duly completed and executed applicable Beneficial Owner Offering Form(s) (with accompanying IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable) to the Subscription Agent or its Nominee, as applicable so that, if applicable, such documents may be transmitted to the Subscription Agent by the Nominee, so that such documents are actually received by the Subscription Agent by the Subscription Expiration Deadline; and

ii.

no later than the Backstop Funding Deadline, pay the applicable Purchase Price to the Subscription Agent or to the escrow account established and maintained by a third party satisfactory to the Backstop Party and the Company (the “Escrow Account”)⁴ by wire transfer ONLY of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire instructions included in the Funding Notice.

THE BACKSTOP PARTY MUST PAY ITS PURCHASE PRICE DIRECTLY TO THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT OR TO THE ESCROW ACCOUNT, AS APPLICABLE, AND SHOULD NOT PAY ITS NOMINEE(S).

⁴ The Company and the Backstop Party to select an escrow agent prior to the launch of the Rights Offerings.

(c)

With respect to 4(a) and (b) above for an Eligible Offeree that hold its Existing Common Stock through a Nominee, such Eligible Offeree must duly complete, execute and return the applicable Beneficial Owner Offering Form(s) in accordance with the instructions herein to its Nominee in sufficient time to allow its Nominee to process its instructions and deliver to the Subscription Agent the Master Subscription Form, its completed Beneficial Owner Offering Form(s) (with accompanying IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable), and, solely with respect to the Eligible Offerees that are not the Backstop Party, payment of the applicable Purchase Price, payable for the Rights Offering Shares elected to be purchased by such Eligible Offeree, by the Subscription Expiration Deadline. The Backstop Party must deliver its payment of the Purchase Price payable for the Section 4(a)(2) Rights Offering Shares to be purchased by the Backstop Party directly to the Subscription Agent or to the Escrow Account, as applicable, no later than the Backstop Funding Deadline.

(d)

In the event that the funds received by the Subscription Agent or the Escrow Account, as applicable, from any Eligible Offeree do not correspond to the Purchase Price payable for the Rights Offering Shares elected to be purchased by such Eligible Offeree, the number of the Rights Offering Shares deemed to be purchased by such Eligible Offeree will be the lesser of (a) the number of the Rights Offering Shares elected to be purchased by such Eligible Offeree and (b) a number of the Rights Offering Shares determined by dividing the amount of the funds received by the Purchase Price, in each case up to such Eligible Offeree’s pro rata portion of Rights Offering Shares.

(e)

The cash paid to the Subscription Agent in accordance with these Rights Offering Procedures will be deposited and held by the Subscription Agent in a segregated account until released to the Debtors in connection with the settlement of the Rights Offerings on the date of closing of the Rights Offerings (the “Closing Date”). The Subscription Agent may not use such cash for any other purpose prior to the Closing Date and may not encumber or permit such cash to be encumbered with any lien or similar encumbrance. The cash held by the Subscription Agent hereunder shall not be deemed part of the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates.

5. Transfer Restriction; Revocation

The Share Purchase Rights are not transferable, except as permitted by the Backstop Agreement (with respect to the Backstop Party) or as agreed to by the Company and the Backstop Party. If any Share Purchase Rights are transferred by an Eligible Offeree in contravention of the foregoing, the Share Purchase Rights will be cancelled, and neither such Eligible Offeree nor the purported transferee will receive any Rights Offering Shares otherwise purchasable on account of such transferred Share Purchase Rights. Any Existing Common Stock traded after the Rights Offering Record Date will not be traded with the Share Purchase Rights attached.

Once an Eligible Offeree has properly exercised its Share Purchase Rights, subject to the terms and conditions contained in these Rights Offering Procedures and the Backstop Agreement in the case of the Backstop Party, such exercise will be irrevocable.

6. Termination/Return of Payment

Unless the Closing Date has occurred, the Rights Offerings will be deemed automatically terminated without any action of any party upon the termination of the Backstop Agreement in accordance with its terms. In the event the Rights Offerings are terminated, any payments received pursuant to these Rights Offering Procedures will be returned, without interest, to the applicable Eligible Offeree and the Backstop Party, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event, within six (6) Business Days after the date of termination.

7. Settlement of the Rights Offerings and Distribution of the Rights Offering Shares

The settlement of the Rights Offerings is conditioned on compliance by the Debtors with these Rights Offering Procedures. The Debtors intend that the Rights Offering Shares will be issued to the Eligible Offerees and/or to any party that an Eligible Offeree so designates in the Beneficial Owner Offering Form(s), in book-entry form, and that DTC, or its nominee, will be the holder of record of such Rights Offering Shares. To the extent DTC is unwilling or unable to make the Rights Offering Shares eligible on the DTC system, the Rights Offering Shares will be issued directly to the Eligible Offeree or its designee.

8. Fractional Shares

No fractional rights or Rights Offering Shares will be issued in the Rights Offerings. All share allocations (including each Eligible Offeree’s Rights Offering Shares) will be calculated and rounded down to the nearest whole share.

9. Validity of Exercise of Share Purchase Rights

All questions concerning the timeliness, viability, form and eligibility of any exercise of Share Purchase Rights will be determined in good faith by the Debtors in consultation with the Backstop Party, and, if necessary, subject to a final and binding determination by the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtor, with the consent of the Backstop Party, may waive or reject any defect or irregularity in, or permit such defect or irregularity to be corrected within such time as they may determine in good faith, the purported exercise of any Share Purchase Rights. Subscription Forms will be deemed not to have been received or accepted until all irregularities have been waived or cured within such time as the Debtors determine in good faith in consultation with the Backstop Party.

Before exercising any Share Purchase Rights, Eligible Offerees should read the Disclosure Statement and the Plan for information relating to the Debtors and the risk factors to be considered.

All calculations, including, to the extent applicable, the calculation of any Eligible Offerees Rights Offering Shares, shall be made in good faith by the Company with the consent of the Backstop Party, and any disputes regarding such calculations shall be subject to a final and binding determination by the Bankruptcy Court.

10. Modification of Procedures

With the prior written consent of the Backstop Party, the Debtors reserve the right to modify these Rights Offering Procedures, or adopt additional procedures consistent with these Rights Offering Procedures to effectuate the Rights Offerings and to issue the Rights Offering Shares, provided, however, that the Debtors shall provide prompt written notice to each Eligible Offeree of any material modification to these Rights Offering Procedures made after the Subscription Commencement Date, provided further that any amendments or modifications to the terms of the Rights Offerings are subject to the provisions of the Backstop Agreement. In so doing, and subject to the consent of the Backstop Party, the Debtors may execute and enter into agreements and take further action that the Debtors determine in good faith is necessary and appropriate to effectuate and implement the Rights Offerings and the issuance of the Rights Offering Shares.

The Debtors shall undertake reasonable procedures to confirm that each participant in the Rights Offerings is in fact an Eligible Offeree.

11. Inquiries and Transmittal of Documents; Subscription Agent

The Rights Offering Instructions for Eligible Offerees attached hereto should be carefully read and strictly followed by the Eligible Offerees.

Questions relating to the Rights Offerings should be directed to the Subscription Agent via email to ***@*** (please reference “Tuesday Morning Rights Offering” in the subject line) or at the following phone number: (855) 917-3492 (Toll Free U.S.) or ###-###-#### (Non U.S.).

The risk of non-delivery of all documents and payments to the Subscription Agent, the Escrow Account and any Nominee is on the Eligible Offeree electing to exercise its Share Purchase Rights and not the Debtors, the Subscription Agent, or the Backstop Party.
