UNDERTAKING DATED AUGUST 5, 2005 FROM THOMAS DALEY TO THE COMPANY



                                                                  August 5, 2005

Attn:  Howard Weinreich, Esq.




Dear Mr. Weinreich:
         I understand  that the Audit  Committee of the Board of Directors  (the
"Audit Committee") of Volt Information Sciences,  Inc. ("Volt") is conducting an
inquiry into certain  trading of Volt  securities  in July 2005. I am requesting
that Volt Information Sciences,  Inc. advance funds for me to retain an attorney
at law to  advise  and  assist  me in  cooperating  with the  Audit  Committee's
inquiry.
         I understand  that such  advances of fees and expenses are  conditioned
upon my continued full cooperation with the Audit Committee in responding to its
inquiry, and that Volt may in its sole discretion,  for any reason or no reason,
decide to cease advancing such funds.
         I understand  that Volt's  advancement of funds for the retention of an
attorney  at  law  to  advise  and  assist  me in  cooperating  with  the  Audit
Committee's  inquiry  is a  measure  taken to  expedite  the  Audit  Committee's
inquiry,  and is not  any  determination  that I am  ultimately  entitled  to be
indemnified for legal expenses.
         I undertake to repay to Volt any legal expenses advanced by it to me or
on my  behalf  if it is  ultimately  determined  that  I am not  entitled  to be
indemnified for legal expenses pursuant to applicable laws.





                                                                    ------------
                                                                    Thomas Daley
