Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective November 16, 2007, CBIZ, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (“the Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated as of February 13, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and the other participating banks.

The Amendment serves to extend the maturity date by an additional year and nine months to expire on November 16, 2012 and to lower borrowing costs by reducing the margin charged on the base rate and Eurodollar loans and reducing the commitment fee charged on the unused portion of the credit facility. CBIZ maintains the option to increase the commitment from $100 million to $150 million at any time to fund working capital or strategic initiatives, including acquisitions and share repurchases.

(“Bank of America”), as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”). Undefined capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in such Credit Agreement as defined below, and section references used herein, shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to sections of such Credit Agreement as defined below.

W I T N E S S E T H:

          WHEREAS, the Company, the Lenders and the Agent have entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of February 13, 2006 (as heretofore amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Lenders have agreed to provide, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, certain loans and other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the Company;

          WHEREAS, in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors have each executed and delivered in favor of the Agent and the Lenders a certain Guaranty pursuant to which the Guarantors have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement;

          WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Lenders agree, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lenders have agreed, to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects as hereinafter set forth.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the terms and conditions stated herein and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the Company, the Guarantors, the Majority Lenders and the Agent, such parties hereby agree as follows:

          1. Amendment. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows (unless otherwise specified, section references used in this section shall refer to such sections of the Credit Agreement):

     (a) The definition of “Applicable Margin” set forth in Section 1.01 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

          “Applicable Margin” shall mean on any date the applicable percentage set forth below based upon the Total Leverage Ratio as calculated after adjusting

the Leverage Ratio shown in the Compliance Certificate then most recently delivered to the Agent and the Lenders:

Revolving Loans/ Letters of Credit
Total Leverage		Base				Eurodollar				Fees
Ratio		Rate				Rate				Letter of Credit Fees				Commitment Fee
≥ 4.00:1.00			1.000	%			2.000	%			2.000	%			0.400	%
≥ 3.00:1.00, but < 4.00:1.00			0.625	%			1.625	%			1.625	%			0.325	%
≥ 2.00:1.00, but < 3.00:1.00			0.375	%			1.375	%			1.375	%			0.275	%
≥ 1.00:1.00, but < 2.00:1.00			0.125	%			1.125	%			1.125	%			0.225	%
< 1.00:1.00			0.000	%			0.875	%			0.875	%			0.175	%

          ; provided however that, (i) for the period from the date on which the Third Amendment dated as of November 16, 2007 to this Agreement shall have become effective to and including the date of the delivery of the Compliance Certificate for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Total Leverage Ratio for such period were greater than or equal to 2.00:1.00 but less than 3.00:1.00, and (ii) if the Company shall have failed to deliver to the Lenders by the date required hereunder any Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 7.02(b), then from the date such Compliance Certificate was required to be delivered until the date of such delivery the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Total Leverage Ratio for such period was greater than or equal to 4.00:1.00. Each change in the Applicable Margin (other than pursuant to clause (i) immediately above, which change shall take effect as provided in such clause) shall take effect with respect to all outstanding Loans on the third Business Day immediately succeeding the day on which such Compliance Certificate is received by the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no reduction in the Applicable Margin shall be effected if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date when such change would otherwise occur, it being understood that on the third Business Day immediately succeeding the day on which such Default or Event of Default is either waived or cured (assuming no other Default or Event of Default shall be then pending), the Applicable Margin shall be reduced (on a prospective basis) in accordance with the then most recently delivered Compliance Certificate (or clause (ii) above, as applicable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this definition, the determination of the Applicable Margin for any period shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(c).

          (b) The definition of “Revolving Termination Date” set forth in Section 1.01 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

          “Revolving Termination Date” means the earlier to occur of:

          (a) November 16, 2012; and

          (b) the date on which the Revolving Loan Commitments terminate in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

          (c) Section 2.11 is amended to add the following provision to the end of such section:

               (c) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Company or for any other reason, the Company or the Lenders determine that (i) the Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Company shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, promptly on demand by the Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Company under the Bankruptcy Code, automatically and without further action by the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under Section 2.09(c), or 3.03(c) or under Article IX. The Company’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

          (d) Section 7.03(d) is amended to add the following provision to the end of such section:

          , including any determination by the Company referred to in Section 2.11(c).

          (e) Section 7.01(c) is hereby deleted in its entirety.

          2. Effectiveness of this Agreement; Conditions Precedent. The provisions of Paragraph 1 of this Agreement shall be deemed to have become effective as of the date of this Agreement, but such effectiveness shall be expressly conditioned upon:

CBIZ AMENDS ITS $100 MILLION UNSECURED CREDIT FACILITY
EXTENDS MATURITY; REDUCES BORROWING COSTS

Cleveland, Ohio (November 20, 2007)—CBIZ, Inc. (NYSE: CBZ) today announced that it has amended its $100 million unsecured credit facility led by Bank of America, NA, effective November 16, 2007. The amendment serves to reduce borrowing costs for CBIZ by up to 100 basis points and extends the maturity date by an additional year and nine months to expire on November 16, 2012.

Ware Grove, Chief Financial Officer of CBIZ, stated, “We are very happy to have such strong support from our bank group in improving the terms of our credit facility. This credit facility is available to CBIZ to fund our growth and seasonal working capital needs and is also available to fund CBIZ’s acquisition and share repurchase activity. CBIZ’s cash flow from operations remains strong and our use of the facility has been minimal, but it’s important to note this facility can be expanded from a $100 million to $150 million commitment at CBIZ’s option should the need arise. In addition, the maturity date of the credit facility now extends beyond the first redemption date of the $100 Million Senior Convertible Note we issued in May of 2006.”

As the largest benefits specialist, one of the largest accounting, valuation and medical practice management companies in the United States, CBIZ provides its clients with integrated financial services which include accounting and tax, internal audit, and valuation.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Risk factors that could cause actual results to differ include the risk of a decline in the current trend to outsource business services that may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and the Company’s sensitivity to revenue fluctuations that could result in fluctuations in the market price for shares of the Company’s common stock. Additional risk factors are discussed in our Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and the reader is directed to these statements for a further discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
