  May&nbsp;23, 2008, Westaff (USA),&nbsp;Inc. (the &#147;<b>Borrower</b>&#148;),
  a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westaff,&nbsp;Inc. (the &#147;<b>Company</b>&#148;),
  received a notice of default from U.S. Bank National Association, as agent (the
  &#147;<b>Agent</b>&#148;) for itself and Wells Fargo Bank,
  National Association, as lenders (collectively, the &#147;<b>Lenders</b>&#148;)
  who are party to the Financing Agreement, dated as of February&nbsp;14, 2008
  (the &#147;<b>Financing Agreement</b>&#148;), between the
  Borrower, the Company (as guarantor), the Lenders and U.S. Bank National
  Association (as the Agent and letter of credit issuer), stating that (1)&nbsp;an
  Event of Default (as defined in the Financing Agreement) has occurred due to the
  Borrower&#146;s failure to achieve a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the
  Financing Agreement) for the fiscal period ended April&nbsp;19, 2008; and (2)&nbsp;as
  a result of the Event of Default, effective May&nbsp;21, 2008, the Agent increased
  the rate of interest to the default rate of interest on the borrowings
  outstanding under the Financing Agreement.&#160;
  The notice of default also stated that, as a consequence of the material
  adverse difference between the projected and actual combined EBITDA of the
  Borrower and Westaff Support,&nbsp;Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
  Company) for the fiscal period ended on April&nbsp;19, 2008, the Agent would
  require an additional cash contribution in the form of equity or subordinated
  debt to be made to the Borrower.</p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Unless waived by the Lenders, the Event of Default gives the Lenders
  the right to prohibit additional borrowing under the Financing Agreement,
  accelerate the Borrower&#146;s indebtedness thereunder, and take other actions as
  provided for in the Financing Agreement. As of May&nbsp;23, 2008, approximately
  $28 million of borrowings in the form of issuance of letters of credit was
  outstanding under the Financing Agreement.</font></p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Borrower is currently in discussions with the Agent in order to
  seek a waiver or forbearance of the Event of Default.&#160; There can be no assurance that the Borrower
  will be able to obtain a waiver or forbearance or that such a waiver or
  forbearance would be on terms acceptable to the Borrower.&#160; If the Borrower is unable to obtain a waiver
  from the Lenders, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company&#146;s
  business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.</font></p>

  Triggering
  Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an
  Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
  (a)
  On
  May 23, 2008, Westaff (USA), Inc. (the "
  Borrower
  "),
  a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westaff, Inc. (the "
  Company
  "),
  received a notice of default from U.S. Bank National Association, as agent (the
  "
  Agent
  ") for itself and Wells Fargo Bank,
  National Association, as lenders (collectively, the "
  Lenders
  ")
  who are party to the Financing Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2008
  (the "
  Financing Agreement
  "), between the
  Borrower, the Company (as guarantor), the Lenders and U.S. Bank National
  Association (as the Agent and letter of credit issuer), stating that (1) an
  Event of Default (as defined in the Financing Agreement) has occurred due to the
  Borrower's failure to achieve a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the
  Financing Agreement) for the fiscal period ended April 19, 2008; and (2) as
  a result of the Event of Default, effective May 21, 2008, the Agent increased
  the rate of interest to the default rate of interest on the borrowings
  outstanding under the Financing Agreement. 
  The notice of default also stated that, as a consequence of the material
  adverse difference between the projected and actual combined EBITDA of the
  Borrower and Westaff Support, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
  Company) for the fiscal period ended on April 19, 2008, the Agent would
  require an additional cash contribution in the form of equity or subordinated
  debt to be made to the Borrower.
  Unless waived by the Lenders, the Event of Default gives the Lenders
  the right to prohibit additional borrowing under the Financing Agreement,
  accelerate the Borrower's indebtedness thereunder, and take other actions as
  provided for in the Financing Agreement. As of May 23, 2008, approximately
  $28 million of borrowings in the form of issuance of letters of credit was
  outstanding under the Financing Agreement.
  The Borrower is currently in discussions with the Agent in order to
  seek a waiver or forbearance of the Event of Default.  There can be no assurance that the Borrower
  will be able to obtain a waiver or forbearance or that such a waiver or
  forbearance would be on terms acceptable to the Borrower.  If the Borrower is unable to obtain a waiver
  from the Lenders, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
  business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
