Becker Drapkin Management, L.P. (the “Advisor”) on behalf of a Managed Account, as of September 13, 2012, has entered into this Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) in order to purchase the common stock (“Stock”) of Tuesday Morning Corp. (the “Issuer”) pursuant to the requirements of and in conformity with the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 (“Rule 10b5-1”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

3.  
This Purchase Plan will terminate upon the earliest of:
 
i.  
the opening of the trading day immediately following the receipt by KCA of written notice by the Advisor of termination of the Purchase Plan;
 
ii.  
the completion of the purchases contemplated by the Purchase Plan;
 
iii.  
the date KCA becomes aware of the commencement of any voluntary or involuntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver or other similar official, in each case with respect to the Issuer or the taking of any corporate action by the Issuer to authorize or commence any of the foregoing;
 
iv.  
the date the Issuer or any other person publicly announces a tender or exchange offer with respect to the Stock or a merger, acquisition, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar business combination or transaction as a result of the consummation of which the Stock would be exchanged or converted into cash, securities or other property.
 
v.  
the Advisor’s or KCA’s reasonable determination that: (a) the Purchase Plan does not comply with Rule 10b5-1 or other applicable securities laws; or (b) the Advisor has not, or KCA has not, complied with the Purchase Plan, Rule 10b5-1 or other applicable securities laws.
 
4.  
Any transaction pending at the time that this Purchase Plan is terminated shall be completed and KCA shall receive the commission set forth in paragraph 5 below.
 
5.  
The Advisor will pay KCA $.02 per share commission.
 
6.  
KCA must suspend purchase of shares of Stock under this Purchase Plan on a particular day for any of the following reasons:

A day specified by the Purchase Plan is not a day on which the shares of Stock trade regularly  on the listing exchange or primary market center;
 
ii.  
Trading of the shares of Stock on the listing exchange or the primary market center is suspended for any reason; or
 
iii.  
KCA cannot effect a purchase of shares of Stock due to legal, regulatory or contractual restrictions applicable to it, the Issuer or the Advisor (including without limitation, Regulation M or Rule 10b-5).
 
KCA will resume purchases in accordance with Paragraph 1 and 2 and this Purchase Plan on the next day specified in the Purchase Plan after the condition causing the suspension of purchases has been resolved to the satisfaction of KCA, the Issuer and the Advisor.
 
7.  
This Purchase Plan may be modified or amended by the Advisor provided that (a) such modification is (i) in writing, (ii) made in good faith and not as part of a scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-and (iii) is in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Plan; and (b) at the time of such modification or amendment the Advisor represents and warrants to KCA that it is not in possession of any non-public material information.
 
8.  
KCA will from time to time trade on a proprietary basis in shares of Stock while in possession of this Purchase Plan and orders contemplated hereby, in accordance with industry rules, including New York Stock Exchange Rule 92.  By signing this agreement, you acknowledge the foregoing disclosures, and consent to KCA trading while it is in possession of this Plan or Advisor’s order.

ix.  
This Purchase Plan constitutes the Advisor’s legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against the Advisor in accordance with its terms.  There is no litigation, arbitration or other proceeding pending, or to the Advisor’s knowledge threatened, that would prevent or interfere with the Advisor’s purchase of Stock under this Purchase Plan.

xii.

This indemnification will survive the termination of this Purchase Plan.
 
2.  
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, except for a breach of Section 8A or a party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, neither KCA or the Advisor will be liable for:
 
i.  
Special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, or incidental losses or damages or any kind, even if advised of the possibility of such losses or damages or if such losses or damages could have been reasonably foreseen.

3.
