Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

Forbearance Agreement

On April 7, 2010, Medical Staffing Network Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Medical Staffing Network, Inc. and Medical Staffing Holdings, LLC, entered into a Second Forbearance Agreement, Limited Waiver and Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”), as administrative agent, and with the required percentage of the first lien lenders under the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 12, 2009 (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”). Under the Forbearance Agreement, GECC, as agent, and the first lien lenders have agreed to forbear from exercising default related rights and remedies with respect to the first lien debt defined below until May 7, 2010, unless a “Forbearance Default,” as defined in the Forbearance Agreement, occurs prior to that date. The Forbearance Agreement further provides that it may be extended for an additional 30-day period with the consent of the required percentage of the first lien lenders.

The Forbearance Agreement also provides that GECC may make additional revolving loans to the Company (in an amount not to exceed $5 million at any one time outstanding) if the Company needs liquidity assistance to meet its obligations as they come due (based on a cash flow schedule that has been approved between the Company, GECC, as agent, and the first lien lenders). Further, during the forbearance period, the debt due under the First Lien Credit Agreement will bear PIK interest at the default rate (which is 4% per annum over the 2% per annum PIK interest already payable under the First Lien Credit Agreement).

As of April 1, 2010, the Company owed approximately $82.1 million (including accrued PIK interest) to the first lien lenders under the First Lien Credit Agreement. Additionally, as of such date there were approximately $6.4 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving loan facility.

A copy of the Forbearance Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference. The summary of the Forbearance Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of such agreement that is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Additionally, the Company currently owes approximately $25.4 million (including accrued PIK interest) to its second lien lenders pursuant to an Amended and Restated Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated March 12, 2009 (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), between the Company and the second lien lenders, which debt is currently in default. See Item 2.04 below. As a result of an intercreditor agreement between the Company’s first lien lenders and second lien lenders, the second lien lenders are currently blocked from exercising or seeking to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any of the collateral that secures both the debt due to the first lien lenders and the debt due to the second lien lenders.

The Company is currently in discussions with all of its lenders with respect to a possible restructuring of the Company’s debt and capital structure, and in that regard the Company has hired financial and legal advisors to assist it in exploring strategic options that may be available under the circumstances. If the Company’s lenders are not willing to reach an acceptable agreement, the lenders could take action to seek to sell the Company’s assets to repay their obligations. In such event, the Company might determine to seek relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the retention of Loughlin Meghji + Company (“LM+Co”), a financial advisory and restructuring firm and its principal, Mohsin Y.

LM+Co provides corporate finance, crisis management, performance improvement and recapitalization advisory services.

Mr. Meghji will report to the Company’s board of directors.

The Company will pay LM+Co the fees set forth in the engagement letter for the services of Mr. Meghji and the other members of his team. In addition, the Company will reimburse LM+Co for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with their providing services to the Company. The engagement letter may be terminated by either party without cause upon 10 days’ written notice.

A copy of the engagement letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.04 Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

The text of Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.04.

The Company was obligated under the Second Lien Credit Agreement to make a cash interest payment to the second lien lenders on or before April 5, 2010 (the last day of the grace period allowed for making such payment under the Second Lien Credit Agreement).
