Item 1.01 | Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement |
Limited Waiver and Amended Forbearance Agreement
On April 30, 2010, Medical Staffing Network Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Medical Staffing Network, Inc. (“MSN”) and Medical Staffing Holdings, LLC, entered into a Limited Waiver to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Amendment to Forbearance Agreement (the “ 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 Agreement, GECC, as agent, and the first lien lenders have agreed to waive certain requirements under the First Lien Credit Agreement to allow the Company to, among other matters, enter into an escrow agreement for the benefit of the Company’s vendor managed services (“VMS”) clients and subcontractors, all as more particularly described below. The lenders have also agreed to extend the period of the Company’s previously reported forbearance agreement with its first lien lenders until June 4, 2010 (unless a “Forbearance Default,” as defined in the Second Forbearance Agreement, Limited Waiver and Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement entered into between the above-named parties effective as of April 7, 2010, occurs prior to that date).
A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference. The summary of the 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.
The Company continues to be in discussions with its lenders with respect to a possible restructuring of the Company’s debt and capital structure. 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.
Escrow Arrangement for the benefit of the Company’s VMS clients and subcontractors
On April 30, 2010, MSN, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, entered into an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with CBIZ Goldstein Lewin, as Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agent”). In accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, all receipts from VMS clients will be paid directly to an account controlled by the Escrow Agent, who will then work with the Company to reconcile such payments and thereafter directly pay the Company’s VMS subcontractors their share of such payments. The escrow account will be controlled by the Escrow Agent and will not be part of the Company’s cash management system.
While the Company has not failed to make any payments due to any of its VMS subcontractors under any of its VMS agreements, as a result of the Company’s current financial challenges, and other recent situations in the healthcare staffing industry where other VMS providers have failed to make certain payments to their subcontractors, the Company has put this escrow arrangement in place (with the consent of its first lien lenders) in order to provide comfort to the Company’s VMS clients and VMS subcontractors that the Company has no equitable or other interest in funds received from its VMS clients that are due and payable to its VMS subcontractors.
