Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On November 24, 2008, CBIZ, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CBIZ”) and CBIZ Accounting, Tax & Advisory of New York, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Mahoney Cohen & Company, CPA, P.C., a New York professional corporation (“Mahoney Cohen”), Mahoney Cohen Consulting Corp., a New York Corporation (“MCCC”), Mahoney Cohen Family Office Services LLC, a New York limited liability company (“MC FOS”) and members of MC FOS identified therein (collectively, the “Owners” and each an “Owner”). Mahoney Cohen, MCCC and MC FOS are hereinafter referred to as the “Subject Companies.” Mahoney Cohen and MCCC are sometimes hereinafter individually referred to as a “Selling Entity” or collectively as the “Selling Entities.” Each Selling Entity and each Owner are sometimes hereinafter individually referred to as a “Seller” and collectively as the “Sellers.” The Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer will acquire (i) all of the membership interests of MC FOS and (ii) substantially all of the assets of Mahoney Cohen and MCCC (the “Acquired Assets” and collectively, the “Acquisition”).

     Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, in consideration for the membership interests of MC FOS and the Acquired Assets, CBIZ and Buyer will pay an initial purchase price of approximately $55.4 million and assume certain liabilities and obligations of the Selling Entities. The initial purchase price will consist of approximately $49.9 million in cash and $5.5 million in shares of CBIZ common stock to be determined based upon the average closing price of the common stock as reported by Bloomberg for the five trading days prior to the date on which the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are publicly announced in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.11 of the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price may be reduced by up to $1.5 million based upon certain referral profits collected by Buyer less any amounts payable to CBIZ or Buyer in connection with certain administrative services provided to and referral arrangements with an unrelated party. The purchase price is also subject to adjustment based on the amount of working capital of the Subject Companies as of the close of business on the day prior to the closing of the Acquisition. In addition to the purchase price paid at closing, the Purchase Agreement also provides for an earnout of up to a maximum of $45.3 million (consisting of cash and shares of common stock), which is payable if and to the extent that the future performance of the Acquired Assets following the closing exceeds agreed targets on the first, second and/or third anniversary of the closing (the “Earnout”). The cash portion of the Earnout will be reduced by the purchase price for assets relating to the attestation services of the applicable Selling Entities being sold to an unrelated party, Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. (“MHM”), in a separate transaction.

     The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the respective parties. The representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Purchase Agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating their terms and may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from what may be viewed as material to shareholders. The representations and warranties should not be relied on as factual information at they time they were made or otherwise.

     Each party’s obligations to consummate the Acquisition pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is subject to customary conditions, including, among others, (i) absence of a temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order or decree preventing the consummation of the Acquisition or other transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and any statute, rule or regulation enacted by any state or federal government or government agency preventing the Acquisition or other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement; and (ii) regulatory clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and the receipt of any other approval or review required under applicable law. The Subject Companies’ obligation to consummate the Acquisition is subject to certain other conditions, including, among others, (i) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy

of the representations and warranties of CBIZ and Buyer; (ii) performance in all material respects by each of CBIZ and Buyer of its obligations and conditions; (iii) absence of any change in assets, liabilities, business, prospects, results of operations or financial condition of CBIZ or Buyer that had or could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, as defined in the Purchase Agreement; and (iv) the existence of Buyer Insurance Coverage, as defined in the Purchase Agreement. CBIZ’s and Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Acquisition is also subject to certain other conditions, including, among others, (i) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Subject Companies; (ii) performance in all material respects by each Subject Company and each Owner of its obligations and conditions; (iii) absence of any change in assets, liabilities, business, prospects, results of operations or financial condition of the Subject Companies that had or could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, as defined in the Purchase Agreement; (iv) satisfaction and termination of all indebtedness of each of the Subject Companies and all intercompany liabilities of the Subject Companies; (v) delivery of all consents CBIZ or Buyer deems necessary or desirable to consummate the Acquisition; (vi) subscription for shares of MHM by Owners; and (vii) dissolution of certain entities by the Subject Companies and the Owners.

     The Purchase Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the closing of the Acquisition: (i) by mutual agreement; (ii) by either party if there exists a permanent injunction or order preventing the consummation of the Acquisition and such injunction or order has become non-appealable; (iii) by the non-breaching party if the other party breaches any representation or warranty and remains in breach for 10 days after written notice of such breach; (iv) by the complying party if the other party does not comply with any obligation, term or condition to be performed under the Purchase Agreement in any material respect at or prior to the time specified in the Purchase Agreement and such failure continues for 10 days after written notice of such failure; or (v) by either party if the closing of the Acquisition does not occur on or before December 31, 2008, provided that the party seeking termination has not failed to perform any material covenant or obligation that has been the cause of or resulted in the failure to consummate the Acquisition on or before such date.

     The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.

CBIZ offered and will issue

shares of its common stock in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. CBIZ relied on this exemption from registration based on representations made by the Sellers in the Purchase Agreement.

The Seller Representative, within fifteen (15) business days after its receipt of the notice, shall give written notice (the “Post-Closing Payment Notice”) to Buyer specifying in reasonable detail the Sellers’ objections to Buyer’s determination of the applicable Post-Closing Payment. The Parties shall meet in person and negotiate in good faith during the fifteen (15) business day period (the “Post-Closing Payment Resolution Period”) after the date of Buyer’s receipt of the Post-Closing Payment Notice to resolve the Sellers’ objections. If the Parties are unable to resolve all such disputes within the Post-Closing Payment Resolution Period, then within five (5) business days after the expiration of the Post-Closing Payment Resolution Period, all disputes shall be submitted to an independent accountant selected by an agreement between the Seller Representative, on behalf of all of the Sellers, and by CBIZ, on behalf of itself and Buyer (the “Independent Accountant”) who shall be engaged to provide a final and conclusive resolution of all unresolved disputes within fifteen (15) business days after such engagement. If the Seller Representative and CBIZ are unable to agree upon an independent accountant, the Seller Representative, on behalf of all of the Sellers, and CBIZ, on behalf of itself and Buyer, shall each select an independent certified public accounting firm with experience rendering the kind of

determinations contemplated by this Section which shall each render calculations, and to the extent the higher calculation is no greater than 5% of the lower calculation, the final amount shall be an average of the two calculations and, to the extent the higher calculation is greater than 5% of the lower calculation and the parties cannot agree as to the amount, the two certified public accounting firms shall appoint a third independent certified public accounting firm whose calculation shall be binding. Each side shall bear its own cost with respect to the hiring of its respective independent certified public accounting firm and the cost of the third certified public accounting firm shall be borne by the party whose initial calculation is furthest, numerically, from the third firm’s calculation. If the parties agree on the Independent Accountant, the fees and expenses shall be borne equally by the Sellers, on the one hand, and CBIZ and Buyer, on the other hand. In all instances, the Independent Accountant’s determination shall be limited to the specific components of the [**] definition herein.

          (c) Tolling for Force Majeure Events.

               (i) If, as a result of an Act of God, fire, natural disaster such as a hurricane, flood or earthquake, an act of terrorism, war, civil disturbance, riot and/or any other similar occurrence beyond the reasonable control of any Party, but not including economic conditions such as a recession or industry-wide downturn (a “Force Majeure Event”) occurring during the Earnout Period, the CBIZ MCC Business Unit is unable to conduct its business operations in substantially the manner as they were conducted immediately prior to the Force Majeure Event for a period in excess of five (5) consecutive business days, then the Seller Representative, on behalf of all Sellers, shall give CBIZ and Buyer written notice as soon as reasonably practical of the alleged Force Majeure Event describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Force Majeure Event and the effects of the Force Majeure Event on its business operations. If the Force Majeure Event results in the CBIZ MCC Business Unit being unable to conduct its business operations in substantially the manner as they were conducted immediately prior to the Force Majeure Event, then the obligations of the Parties set forth in Section 1.5 and this Section 1.6 (e.g., time periods upon which [**] is calculated, due dates for payment of Post-Closing Payments, notice periods for disputing [**] calculations, etc.) shall be tolled (on a “day for a day” basis) for as long as the CBIZ MCC Business Unit is unable to conduct its business operations in substantially the manner as they were conducted immediately prior to the Force Majeure Event.

               (ii) For the purposes of this Section 1.6(c), business operations will be considered “in substantially the manner as they were conducted immediately prior to the Force Majeure Event” if at least 85% of the entire workforce of the CBIZ MCC Business Unit immediately prior to the Force Majeure Event is able to conduct its business or operations in locations from which the CBIZ MCC Business Unit operated prior to the Force Majeure Event or from temporary or replacement locations.

               (iii) Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Section 1.6(c), shall be settled solely and exclusively by binding arbitration in Cleveland, Ohio. Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then prevailing commercial arbitration rules of JAMS/Endispute (“Arbitrator”), with the following exceptions if in conflict: one arbitrator shall

be chosen by Arbitrator; and each party to the arbitration will pay its pro rata share of the expenses and fees of the arbitrator, together with other expenses of the arbitration incurred or approved by the arbitrator. Each party shall bear its own attorneys fees and expenses. The parties agree to abide by all decisions and awards rendered in such proceedings. Such decisions and awards rendered by Arbitrator shall be final and conclusive and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. All such controversies, claims or disputes shall be settled in this manner in lieu of action at law or equity; provided however, that nothing in this clause shall be construed as precluding the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Arbitrator shall not have the right to award punitive damages or speculative damages to either party and shall not have the power to amend this Agreement. Arbitrator shall be required to follow applicable law.

          (d) Payment Default. In the event the Parties agree as to the amount of such Post-Closing Payment or a final determination as to the amount of the Post-Closing Payment has been made pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures contemplated under Section 1.6(b), and CBIZ and Buyer fail to pay such Post-Closing Payment, which failure remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days following delivery of written notice from the Seller Representative (“Payment Default Notice”); then the following provisions shall become operable:

               (i) If CBIZ and Buyer have the ability to pay such Post-Closing Payment either in cash or cash equivalents or by available, uncommitted funds under its then existing credit facilities, taking into account all then-existing obligations of CBIZ and Buyer, then, in lieu of paying any further Post-Closing Payments, CBIZ and Buyer shall pay to the Sellers an amount equal to [**] multiplied by [**] and, for the purposes of this Section 1.6(d)(i) only, the [**] as applicable, will be deemed to be equal to [**] (the “Accelerated Payment”). The Sellers acknowledge that its right to the Accelerated Payment shall be its sole remedy under the circumstances described under this Section 1.6(d)(i) and upon payment no further Post-Closing Payments shall be due. Without limiting the foregoing, the Sellers acknowledge and agree that the covenants set forth in Section 5.2(c) shall survive any failure by CBIZ or Buyer to make any Post-Closing Payment.

               (ii) For as long as Section 1.6(d)(i) is inapplicable, then CBIZ and Buyer shall have 180 days, rather than 30 days, from delivery of the Payment Default Notice to cure the default (the “Extended Cure Period). If the failure remains uncured at the expiration of the Extended Cure Period, then [**] that is due and owing effective as of the date of delivery of the Payment Default Notice [**] until such Post-Closing Payment and [**] is paid in full. The period during which any amount of a Post-Closing Payment [**] thereon remains unpaid shall be referred to herein as a “Payment Default Period.” The Sellers acknowledge that its right to [**] the Post-Closing Payment shall be its sole remedy under the circumstances described under this Section 1.6(d)(ii). Without limiting the foregoing, the Sellers acknowledge and agree that the covenants set forth in Section 5.2(c) shall survive any failure by CBIZ or Buyer to make any Post-Closing Payment; provided, however, if any Owner who is not then in breach of any covenant contained in Section 5.2 hereof voluntarily terminates his or her employment with any Affiliated Company during a Payment Default Period or is terminated other than “for cause” (as defined in Section 5.3(c) hereof) during a Payment Default Period, then with respect to such

Owner (A) the Restriction Period with respect to the covenant set forth in Subsection 5.2(c)(i)(A) only shall be reduced by the greater of (x) [**] for each Post-Closing Payment that remains unpaid at the time of termination of employment [**] (rounded to the nearest whole integer) that shall be in default at the time of termination of employment, and (B) the date of termination of employment for the purposes of calculating the Restriction Period with respect to the covenant set forth in Subsection 5.2(c)(i)(A) only, shall be deemed to be the date of delivery of the Payment Default Notice. During any Payment Default Period, CBIZ shall not make any dividends or other distributions of cash to its stockholders on account of their ownership of capital stock of CBIZ nor shall CBIZ or Buyer make any cash payments of acquisition consideration incurred in connection with any merger with or acquisition of any business by CBIZ. For the purposes hereof, the “prime” rate shall be as reported on the date of the Payment Default Notice in the Wall Street Journal or, in the event publication of the Wall Street Journal is terminated, in such successor national financial publication as reasonably determined by the Seller Representative.

               (iii) If, at the termination of the Extended Cure Period, CBIZ and Buyer have the ability to pay such Post-Closing Payment either in cash or cash equivalents or by available, uncommitted funds under its then existing credit facilities, taking into account all then-existing obligations of CBIZ and Buyer, then the provisions of Section 1.6(d)(i) shall apply.

          (e) Elimination of Significant Lines of Business.

               (i) In the event CBIZ experiences a Change Of Control during the Earnout Period and, thereafter, CBIZ or Buyer cease to operate any of the Significant Lines of Business as are currently conducted by the Subject Companies (a “Cessation”), then for purposes of calculating [**] for any period in which a Cessation occurs and each period thereafter during the Earnout Period, the CBIZ MCC Business Unit shall receive a Monthly Credit for each full calendar month in such period which follows the month in which the Cessation occurred.

               (ii) For the purposes of this Section 1.6(e), (A) a “Monthly Credit” shall mean the monthly average of the [**] associated solely with the Significant Line(s) of Business to which the Cessation relates during the twelve full calendar months immediately preceding the month in which the Cessation occurred; (B) a “Significant Line of Business” shall mean any of the lines of business described on Schedule 1.6(e); and (C) a “Change Of Control” shall mean any of the following: (I) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of CBIZ; (II) any sale, lease or other disposition of CBIZ of all or substantially all of its assets; (III) any merger, consolidation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction or series of transactions in which the beneficial owners of CBIZ’s capital stock immediately prior to such event cease to beneficially own a majority of the voting power in the resulting entity immediately after such event; and/or (IV) any purchase or purchases by any Person or Persons of shares of capital stock of CBIZ (either through a negotiated stock purchase or a tender for such shares), the effect of which is that the beneficial owners of CBIZ’s capital stock immediately prior to such event cease to beneficially own a majority of the voting power in the resulting entity immediately after such event.

          (f) Seller Representative Actions Binding. The actions of the Seller Representative hereunder shall be deemed to be taken on behalf of all of the Sellers and shall be binding on all of the Sellers.

     Section 1.7 Closing Working Capital/Cash Collections.

          (a) Estimated Closing Working Capital. Not less than three (3) business days prior to Closing, the Seller Representative, on behalf of all of the Sellers, shall deliver to CBIZ and Buyer a balance sheet based as of the month end prior to the Effective Date and a good faith reasonable estimate of the Working Capital (as defined below) for the Subject Companies as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”). To the extent that the Estimated Closing Working Capital is less than [**] (the “Target Working Capital”), such deficiency (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Deficiency”) will be deducted from the cash portion of the Closing Date Payment to be paid to the Sellers. To the extent Estimated Closing Working Capital is in excess of the Target Working Capital, the amount of such excess which consists solely of cash shall be retained by the Selling Entities as an Excluded Asset or MC FOS Excluded Asset, as applicable (the “Excess Cash”), and, for purposes of Section 1.7(c), “Estimated Closing Working Capital” shall be deemed not to include the Excess Cash. The term “Working Capital” shall mean Current Assets minus Current Liabilities. The terms “Current Assets” and “Current Liabilities” shall mean the current assets and current liabilities, respectively, of the Subject Companies, calculated in accordance with Modified GAAP.

          (b) Final Closing Working Capital; Dispute Resolution. As promptly as practicable (but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after the Closing Date), the Seller Representative, on behalf of all of the Sellers, shall deliver to CBIZ and Buyer a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth the Sellers’ determination of Working Capital as of the close of business on the day prior to the Closing Date (“Closing Working Capital”). CBIZ and Buyer must, within sixty (60) days after their receipt of the Closing Statement, give written notice (the “Notice”) to the Seller Representative, on behalf of all of the Sellers, specifying in reasonable detail their objections, if any, with respect thereto. If CBIZ and Buyer do not timely deliver the Notice, the Sellers’ determination of the Closing Working Capital shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties. With respect to any disputed amounts, the Parties shall meet in person and negotiate in good faith during the ten (10) business day period (the “Resolution Period”) after the date of the Seller Representative’s receipt of the Notice to resolve any such disputes. If the Parties are unable to resolve all such disputes within the Resolution Period, then within five (5) business days after the expiration of the Resolution Period, all disputes shall be submitted to an Independent Accountant or Accountants (in the manner described in subsection (f) below as though such Section applied to Working Capital disputes as well) who shall be engaged to provide a final and conclusive resolution of all unresolved disputes within fifteen (15) business days after such engagement. The determination of the Independent Accountant shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties, and the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by the Party that the Independent Accountant determines is the non-prevailing party.

          (c) Payment of Excess/Deficiency. If the Closing Working Capital is less than the Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Sellers shall pay in cash to Buyer within five (5) business days after the final determination of the Closing Working Capital pursuant to this Section 1.7 the amount of the difference between the Closing Working Capital and the lesser of (i) the Target Working Capital, and (ii) the Estimated Closing Working Capital. If the Closing Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Working Capital, Buyer shall pay to the Sellers an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of the Closing Working Capital which consists solely of cash and (y) the amount of the difference between the Closing Working Capital and the Estimated Closing Working Capital, which amount shall be paid in cash within five (5) business days after the Effective Date.

          (d) Collections Period. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until the date on which the full Second Anniversary Payment is due (the “Collections Period”), Buyer shall keeps records as to the amount of cash actually received by Buyer on account of accounts receivable, work in progress and other amounts owed to any Subject Company based upon, related to, or arising out of agreements, transactions, acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Date (“Cash Collections”).

          (e) Excess Cash Collections. To the extent actual Cash Collections exceed the amount of [**] (the “Cash Collections Threshold”), during the Collections Period, CBIZ shall pay to the Sellers such excess (the “Excess Cash Collections”) as provided herein. As promptly as practicable after the end of each calendar month (but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after such date) during the Collections Period, CBIZ and Buyer shall deliver to the Seller Representative, on behalf of all Sellers, a statement (a “Monthly Collections Statement”) setting forth the Cash Collections as of the close of business on the last day of such calendar month, and pay the Sellers the amounts of Excess Cash Collections then payable. The Seller Representative, on behalf of all Sellers, shall, within fifteen (15) business days after its receipt of the Monthly Collections Statement, give written notice (the “Collections Notice”) to CBIZ and Buyer specifying in reasonable detail its objections, if any, with respect thereto. If the Seller Representative, on behalf of all Sellers, does not timely deliver the Collections Notice, CBIZ’s determination of the Cash Collections as of such date shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties. All undisputed amounts owed to the Sellers, if any, shall be paid to the Sellers promptly following delivery of the Collections Notice or the passage of said fifteen (15) business day period. With respect to any disputed amounts, the Parties shall meet in person and negotiate in good faith during the ten (10) business day period (the “Cash Collections Resolution Period”) after the date of CBIZ’s receipt of the Collections Notice to resolve any such disputes. If the Parties are unable to resolve all such disputes within the Cash Collections Resolution Period, then within five (5) business days after the expiration of the Cash Collections Resolution Period, all disputes shall be submitted to an independent accountant selected by an agreement between the Seller Representative, on behalf of all of the Sellers, and by CBIZ, on behalf of itself and Buyer (the “Independent Accountant”) who shall be engaged to provide a final and conclusive resolution of all unresolved disputes within fifteen (15) business days after such engagement. If the Seller Representative and CBIZ are unable to agree upon an independent accountant, the Seller Representative, on behalf of all of the Sellers, and CBIZ, on behalf of itself and Buyer, shall each select an independent certified public accounting firm with

experience rendering the kind of determinations contemplated by this Section which shall each render calculations, and to the extent the higher calculation is no greater than 5% of the lower calculation, the final amount shall be an average of the two calculations and, to the extent the higher calculation is greater than 5% of the lower calculation and the parties cannot agree as to the amount, the two certified public accounting firm shall appoint a third independent certified public accounting firm whose calculation shall be binding. Each side shall bear its own cost with respect to the hiring of its respective independent certified public accounting firm and the cost of the third certified public accounting firm shall be borne by the party whose initial calculation is furthest, numerically, from the third firm’s calculation. If the parties agree on the Independent Accountant, the fees and expenses shall be borne equally by the Sellers, on the one hand, and CBIZ and Buyer, on the other hand. Payment of any Excess Cash Collections determined by the Independent Accountant to be payable shall be made within fifteen (15) business days after such determination.

          (f) Manner of Payment. Payments of Cash Collections shall be promptly made via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Seller Representative, on behalf of all Sellers, and shall be allocated among the Sellers as set forth on Schedule 1.7. Buyer and CBIZ, on the one hand, and the Seller Representative, on the other hand, shall cooperate and confer with each other with regard to the status and disposition of uncollected accounts. No settlements or compromises of accounts receivable shall be made without the prior approval of the CBIZ MCC Business Unit President (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and no collections proceedings shall be instituted in respect of unpaid accounts without the prior approval of the CBIZ MCC Business Unit President (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

          (g) Allocation of A/R Collections. In the event cash is received by CBIZ or Buyer from a person or entity who is an obligor with respect to receivables or work in progress relating to work performed prior to the Effective Date and with respect to receivables or work in progress relating to work performed after the Effective Date, and it is not readily apparent from the remittance (by amount of the receivable, invoice number or otherwise) to which receivable or work in progress the proceeds are to be applied, then, for purposes of calculating Cash Collections, the following shall apply:

               (i) For the first [**] days of the Collections Period, such cash shall first be applied to work performed prior to the Effective Date and then to work performed after the Effective Date;

               (ii) Thereafter or prior thereto in the case an obligor refuses to pay the entire amount of an invoice and fails to specify whether that failure to pay the entire invoice results from work performed prior to or after the Effective Date, then such cash shall be split pro rata based on the pre-Effective Date balance and the post-Effective Date balance. For example, if an obligor has a WIP balance of [**] as of the Effective Date, another [**] of work is performed for the obligor after the Effective Date, and Buyer collects [**] from the obligor, then [**] would be applied to the calculation of the Cash Collections.

          (h) Offset. In the event that Buyer has not received the amount of the Cash Collections Threshold in Cash Collections by the expiration of the Collections Period, CBIZ and Buyer shall have the right to offset against the amount that CBIZ and Buyer may owe to the Sellers for the Second Anniversary Payment pursuant to this Agreement, an amount equal to:

               (i) the amount of the Cash Collections Threshold,

               (ii) less, the total Cash Collections actually received by Buyer as of the expiration of the Collections Period,

               (iii) if the Seller Representative can demonstrate, as of the expiration of the Collections Period, that the actual Current Assets (other than accounts receivable and work in process) on the Closing Date were greater than the Current Assets (other than accounts receivable and work in process) used in the calculation of Closing Work Capital, then less the amount of such excess,

               (iv) if Buyer can demonstrate, as of the expiration of the Collections Period, that the actual Current Assets (other than accounts receivable and work in process) on the Closing Date were less than the Current Assets (other than accounts receivable and work in process) used in the calculation of Closing Working Capital, then plus the amount of such deficiency,

               (v) if the Seller Representative can demonstrate, as of the expiration of the Collections Period, that the actual Current Liabilities on the Closing Date were less than the Current Liabilities used in the calculation of Closing Working Capital, then less the amount of such deficiency,

               (vi) if Buyer can demonstrate, as of the expiration of the Collections Period, that the actual Current Liabilities on the Closing Date were greater than the Current Liabilities used in the calculation of Closing Working Capital, then plus the amount of such excess.

          (i) Assignment of Outstanding Receivables. In the event that Buyer has received the amount of the Cash Collections Threshold in Cash Collections by the expiration of the Collections Period, Buyer shall assign any outstanding receivables to the Sellers; provided, however, Buyer reserves the right to, in lieu of assigning one or more outstanding receivables, pay the Sellers the full outstanding amount of such receivables (exclusive of interest, late charges, costs of collection incurred to the date of assignment or similar charges).

          (j) Seller Representative Actions Binding. The actions of the Seller Representative hereunder shall be deemed to be taken on behalf of all of the Sellers and shall be binding on all of the Sellers.

     Section 1.8 Allocation of Acquisition Consideration. The Sellers and Buyer shall, with respect to the transactions provided for in this Article I, prepare as soon as reasonably practical, and timely file Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 (the “Asset Acquisition Statement

Under Section 1060”), and any required exhibits thereto and shall allocate thereon the purchase price paid to the Selling Entities for the Acquired Assets, in the amounts that are specified on Schedule 1.8.

     Section 1.9 Non-Assignment of Certain Acquired Assets. The Sellers, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to CBIZ and Buyer that Schedule 4.6 lists and describes all Acquired Assets, which includes all Contracts and Permits, that are non-assignable or the assignment of which pursuant hereto requires the consent of any other party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that the assignment hereunder of any of the Acquired Assets shall require the consent of any other party and Buyer shall elect to waive the requirement that such consent be obtained, or in the event that any of such Acquired Assets shall be non-assignable, neither this Agreement nor any action taken pursuant to its provisions shall constitute an assignment or an agreement to assign if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or result in the loss or diminution thereof; provided, however, that in each case, the Sellers shall use their best efforts to obtain the consent of such other party to an assignment to Buyer. If such consent is not obtained, the Sellers shall take such actions as Buyer deems necessary, desirable or appropriate such that Buyer will receive the benefits of such Acquired Assets including, without limitation, enforcement, for the account and benefit of CBIZ, of any and all rights of the Selling Entities against any other Person with respect to such Acquired Assets.

     Section 1.10 Seller Representative. The Sellers hereby appoint Mark D. Garten (the “Seller Representative”) to act on behalf of the Sellers with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement, including in negotiating, compromising or agreeing to [**] Closing Working Capital and Cash Collections amounts, in considering and certifying the amount of any indemnification hereunder, in communicating with Buyer or CBIZ, in considering and acting with respect to any amendment of this Agreement, and generally in performing all acts expressly required or permitted to be performed by the Seller Representative pursuant hereto. If at any time Mr. Garten becomes unable to serve as the Seller Representative, his successor shall be determined by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Owners who remain in the employ of Buyer at such time; provided, however, such successor must be an Owner who remains in the employ of Buyer at such time. Buyer and CBIZ shall have the right to deal exclusively with the Seller Representative with respect to all matters under this Agreement and neither Buyer nor CBIZ shall have any liability to any Seller for any acts or omissions of the Seller Representative, or any acts or omissions taken or not taken by Buyer and/or CBIZ at the direction of the Seller Representative. Upon any distribution of any funds to the Seller Representative (or to one or more Sellers or other Persons upon written instruction of the Seller Representative) in accordance with this Agreement, CBIZ and Buyer shall be deemed to have fully satisfied any and all obligations to the Sellers under this Agreement with respect to the amount of such distribution. The Seller Representative will have no liability to the Sellers with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken in his capacity as the Seller Representative, except with respect to any liability resulting primarily from the Seller Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Copies of such plans (and, if applicable,

related trust or funding agreements, insurance contracts and all other contracts with respect to which any Subject Company or any affiliate may have any liability) and all amendments thereto have been furnished to CBIZ and Buyer together with the three (3) most recent annual reports (Form 5500 and all related schedules) and actuarial valuation reports, if any, prepared in connection with any such plan, the current summary plan description and any summaries of material modifications thereto, contracts with third party administrators, actuaries, investment managers, consultants or others that relate to any Employee Plan, required financial statements for the most recent plan year for each Employee Plan that is a defined benefit plan, records of Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation premium payments, and all compliance reports provided by third party administrators, actuaries or others relative to any Employee Plan. No Subject Company or any of their affiliates has a plan or commitment to create any additional Employee Plan or Benefit Arrangement or to modify or change any existing Employee Plan or Benefit Arrangement. Such plans are referred to collectively herein as the “Employee Plans.” For purposes of this Section, “affiliate” of any Person means any other Person that, together with such Person, would be treated as a single employer under Section 414 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The only Employee Plans that would constitute an “employee pension benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA (the “Pension Plans”) are identified as such on Schedule 4.18(a).

          (b) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.18(b), no Employee Plan constitutes a “multiemployer plan,” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA, or a “defined benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA and subject to Title IV of ERISA, nor does any Subject Company or any affiliate have any obligation to create, maintain, or contribute to any such “multiemployer plan” or “defined benefit plan.” No Employee Plan is maintained in connection with any trust described in Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. No “accumulated funding deficiency,” as defined in Section 412 of the Code, has been incurred with respect to any Pension Plan, whether or not waived. Full payment has been made of all amounts that any Subject Company is required to have paid as contributions to or benefits under any Employee Plan as of the date of this Agreement and there are no unfunded obligations under any Employee Plan that have not been specifically disclosed on Schedule 4.18(b). There are no unpaid fees, penalties, interest, assessments, premiums, contributions or amounts due from any Subject Company or from any other person with respect to the Employee Plans that are or would reasonably be expected to become a lien on any business asset of a Subject Company. Each Subject Company has collected or withheld all amounts that are required to be collected or withheld by it to discharge its obligations with respect to the Employee Plans, and all of those amounts have been paid to the appropriate governmental authority or set aside in appropriate accounts for future payment when due. No condition exists and no event has occurred that could constitute grounds for termination of any Employee Plan, and no Subject Company nor any affiliates has incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA that has not been satisfied in full. The assets of each Employee Plan that is a defined benefit plan are sufficient such that such Employee Plan may be terminated on a standard termination basis under Title IV of ERISA. There are no circumstances that could result in any defined benefit plan liability that would be a material liability of Buyer following the Effective Date. Nothing done or omitted to be done and no transaction or holding of any asset under or in connection with any Employee Plan has or will make any Subject Company, or any member, manager, shareholder, officer, director or employee of any Subject Company,

          (d) There is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement covering any employee or former employee of any Subject Company or any affiliate that, individually or collectively, could give rise to the payment of any amount that would not be deductible pursuant to the terms of the Code.

Such contracts, plans and arrangements as are described above, copies or descriptions all of which have been furnished previously to Buyer and CBIZ, are referred to collectively herein as the “Benefit Arrangements.” Each Benefit Arrangement has been maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and with requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, orders, rules and regulations that are applicable to such Benefit Arrangement.

          (f) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.18(f), there is no liability in respect of post-retirement health, life or other benefits for retired employees, directors, members, managers, shareholders, officers, consultants or other representatives of any Subject Company or any affiliate. Each Subject Company has reserved its right to amend or terminate any Employee Plan or Benefit Arrangement in respect of any current or former employee, director, member, manager, shareholder, officer, consultant or other representative of any Subject Company under the terms of any such plan and descriptions thereof given to such individuals. With respect to any of Subject Companies’ Employee Plans that are “group health plans” under Section 4980B of the Code and Section 607(1) of ERISA, there has been timely compliance with all

          (b) Governmental Matters. Each Party shall use all reasonable efforts to take any additional action that may be necessary, proper or advisable in connection with any notices to, filings with, and authorizations, consents and approvals of any court, administrative agency or commission, or other governmental authority or instrumentality that it may be required to give, make or obtain in connection with this Agreement.

          (d) Tax Matters.

               (i) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Except as set forth in Section 5.1(d)(iii), after Closing, the Selling Entities, the Owners, CBIZ and Buyer will coordinate and cooperate fully in the preparation of all necessary tax returns for the Subject Companies; provided, however, the Sellers shall assume all responsibility for, and shall timely perform, the filing and reporting obligations required by Section 6043A of the Code and shall take all necessary or appropriate actions to timely satisfy such obligations. Each Party agrees to timely furnish to the other Parties any records and other information reasonably requested by them in connection therewith. Neither Buyer nor CBIZ has made any representation as to the tax treatment of the Sellers or any agreement with respect to refraining from taking any future action that could adversely affect the tax treatment of the Acquisition or tax consequences to the Sellers in connection therewith or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Sellers will remain solely liable for any tax consequences to them as a result of the Acquisition.

               (ii) Tax Periods Ending on or before the Closing Date. The Owners, jointly and severally, shall be responsible for any taxes that have been or may be imposed on, or with respect to, MC FOS with respect to any taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Period”). If the Closing does not terminate MC FOS’s current taxable year with respect to any taxes, then the Owners, jointly and severally, shall be responsible for the portion of the taxes attributable to the portion of such taxable year that ends on the Closing Date. For this purpose, income taxes shall be apportioned between the pre-Closing and post-Closing portions of MC FOS’s current taxable year according to when any subject income was accrued. Any other tax imposed on a periodic basis (such as real property taxes) and any exemptions, allowances, or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (such as the deduction for depreciation) shall be apportioned on a time basis (i.e., the amount of such tax or deduction, as the case may be, for the entire taxable period shall be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire tax period).

               (iii) Tax Returns. On and after the Closing Date, the Owners shall prepare all tax returns on behalf of MC FOS for all periods ending on or before the Closing Date, including returns required to be filed (taking into account extensions) after the Closing Date; provided, however, the Owners shall not file or cause to be filed any tax return on behalf of MC FOS or discuss, correspond or negotiate with any representative of any taxing authority with respect to any tax liability of MC FOS with respect to any Pre-Closing Period without the prior consultation and written authorization of CBIZ. Not less than ten (10) days prior to filing any tax return with respect to any Pre-Closing Period, the Seller Representative shall submit the proposed form of such tax return to CBIZ for its review and shall cooperate fully with CBIZ in connection with its review of any such tax return. Any such tax return shall be prepared on a basis consistent with that prepared for prior Pre-Closing Periods and in compliance with applicable law. CBIZ and Buyer shall prepare and file all tax returns on behalf of MC FOS for all periods after the Closing Date. For United States federal income tax purposes, the Parties will treat the Acquisition in a manner consistent Rev. Rul. 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432.

               (v) Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (including any entity-level gains tax triggered by the sale of the MC FOS Interests, transfer tax and any similar tax imposed in other states or subdivisions), shall be paid by the Sellers when due, and the Sellers will, at their own expense, file all necessary tax returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, Buyer and CBIZ will, and will cause their affiliates, to join in the execution of any such tax returns and other documentation.

               (vi) Tax Indemnification for New York City Unincorporated Business Tax. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, the Sellers jointly and severally shall indemnify Buyer and CBIZ and hold them harmless from and against all liability of MC FOS attributable to the New York City Unincorporated Business Tax (or the nonpayment thereof) for all periods ending on or prior to the Effective Date for purposes of New York City Unincorporated Business Tax, together with all interest, penalties and other costs and expenses related thereto (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees); provided, however, the Sellers shall not be required to indemnify Buyer and CBIZ with respect to income of MC FOS after the Effective Date. The indemnification obligations of the Sellers hereunder shall survive until the expiration of the applicable period of assessment, including any extensions, relating to the New York City Unincorporated Business Tax and shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.3.

               (vii) Other Tax Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Sellers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify Buyer and CBIZ, and hold them harmless from and against, all liability of MC FOS pertaining to each taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date for federal, state and local income taxes and all interest, penalties and other costs and expenses related thereto (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees). CBIZ and Buyer shall, jointly and severally, indemnify Sellers and hold them harmless from and against taxes for all periods ending after the Closing Date. The indemnification obligations hereunder shall survive the Closing Date until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations relating to the tax liabilities corresponding to such indemnification and shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.3. With respect to any assertion of tax liability, the Parties shall make available to one another all relevant information in their possession that is material to any such assertion, and shall fully cooperate with one another in connection with any claims asserted.

If any such liability is asserted against an Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party notifies the Other Party of such liability, the Other Party shall be entitled, if it so elects by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Party within fifteen (15)

days after receiving such Indemnified Party’s notice (the “Response Period”), to assume the defense of such asserted liability with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if the Other Party assumes such defense, the Other Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim as a valid Indemnifiable Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be payable by such Indemnified Party; (ii) such Indemnified Party shall not have any obligation to give any notice of any assertion of liability by a third party unless such assertion is in writing; and (iii) the rights of such Indemnified Party to be indemnified in respect of Indemnifiable Claims resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties shall not be adversely affected by its failure to give notice pursuant to the foregoing provisions unless, and, if so, only to the extent that, the Other Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. With respect to any assertion of liability by a third party that results in an Indemnifiable Claim, the Parties shall make available to each other all relevant information in their possession that is material to any such assertion.

          (b) In the event that the Other Party fails to assume the defense of an Indemnified Party against any such Indemnifiable Claim within the Response Period, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such Indemnifiable Claim on behalf, for the account, and at the risk of the Other Party.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.4 to the contrary, the Other Party will not be entitled to assume control of the defense of an Indemnifiable Claim, and will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if:

               (i) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that an adverse determination of such proceeding could be detrimental to or injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects;

               (ii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that there exists or could arise a conflict of interest that, under applicable principles of legal ethics, could prohibit a single legal counsel from representing both the Indemnified Party and the Other Party in such proceeding; or

               (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction rules that the Other Party has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend vigorously such claim.

          (d) The Other Party shall not, without such Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any Indemnifiable Claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect of any Indemnifiable Claim unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes, as an unconditional term, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to such Indemnified Party (and its subsidiaries and affiliates) a release from all liability in respect of such Indemnifiable Claim.

     Section 8.5 Termination of MC FOS Warranties. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary: (a) all representations and warranties made by MC FOS in this Agreement or the Additional Documents shall terminate as to MC FOS (but only as to MC FOS,

and not as to any Seller) as of the Closing; and (b) after the Closing, MC FOS shall not have any obligation or liability to any Seller as a direct or indirect result of any misrepresentation or other occurrence or circumstance for which any Seller has or may have liability to Buyer or CBIZ under this Agreement.

     Section 8.6 Tax Benefits. If a CBIZ Indemnified Party receives or is entitled to receive a Tax Benefit (as defined below), with respect to any CBIZ Indemnified Claim for which any Seller is obligated to make a payment to a CBIZ Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VIII, the amount of such payment shall be reduced by the amount of such Tax Benefit. “Tax Benefit” means the net decrease realized or to be realized in a CBIZ Indemnified Party’s liability for taxes (including, without limitation, any increases in tax refunds and credits) as a result of the CBIZ Indemnified Claim to which the payment relates including related expenses.

     Section 8.7 Tax Effect of Indemnification Payments. The Parties agree that, to the extent allowed by law, all amounts paid by any Seller to a CBIZ Indemnified Party with respect to CBIZ Indemnified Claims pursuant to Article VIII shall be treated as an adjustment to the Acquisition Consideration.
