TABLE OF CONTENTS

EX-10.1 Amendment One to Credit Agreement

EX-99.1 Press Release

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     Effective May 23, 2006, CBIZ, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of February 13, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the several financial institutions party from time to time thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”).

     The Amendment permits the Company to (i) issue convertible debt in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million (the “Convertible Debt”), (ii) use the proceeds of the issuance of the Convertible Debt to repurchase shares of its capital stock, and (iii) pay the settlement value with respect to each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debt converted into shares of the Company’s common stock (a) in cash, which shall not exceed the lesser of $1,000 and the conversion value of the Convertible Debt, and (b) if the conversion value of the Convertible Debt exceeds $1,000, in shares of the Company’s common stock, each as more fully described in the Amendment. In addition, the pricing of the loan and other financial accommodations available under the Credit Agreement, as amended, may be adjusted upward depending upon the leverage of the Company upon the issuance of the Convertible Debt.

     The Amendment will become effective upon the issuance of the Convertible Debt on terms and conditions acceptable to the Agent.

     A copy of the Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, and a copy of the press release announcing the Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

     On May 18, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized the repurchase of up to 10 million shares of its outstanding common stock to be obtained in open market or privately negotiated purchases through March 31, 2007 (the “Supplemental Repurchase Program”). This Supplemental Repurchase Program is in addition to the repurchase of up to 5 million shares that the Board previously authorized on February 9, 2006, as disclosed in the current report on Form 8-K filed on February 10, 2006.

     As of March 31, 2006, the Company had approximately 75,957,422 shares of its common stock outstanding. The Board believes that the repurchase plan is a prudent use of the Company’s financial resources, and that investing in its own shares is an attractive use of capital and an efficient means to provide value to the Company’s stockholders. The Company anticipates that it will obtain most of the funds necessary to purchase shares under this Supplemental Repurchase Program, and to pay related fees and expenses, from the issuance of the Convertible Debt. This authorization allows such purchases to the extent permitted under the Company’s current or any future credit facility, without further amendment.

(“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.

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 may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, 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; and

          WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Majority Lenders, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Majority Lenders have agreed to, amend the Credit Agreement 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 Majority Lenders and the Agent, such parties hereby agree as follows:

          1. Amendment. Subject to the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

          (a) The definition of “Applicable Margin” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement 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							Fees
Total Leverage	Base			Eurodollar			Letter of Credit Fees			Commitment Fee
Ratio	Rate			Rate
³ 3.00:1.00		1.625	%		2.625	%		2.625	%		0.475	%

< 1.00:1.00		0.125	%		1.125	%		1.125	%		0.225	%

     ; provided however that, (i) for the period from the Closing Date to and including the date of the delivery of the Compliance Certificate for the period ending December 31, 2005, the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Total Leverage Ratio for such period were greater than or equal to 1.00:1.00 but less than 1.50:1.00, (ii) for the period from May 23, 2006 to and including the date of the delivery of the Compliance Certificate for the period ending June 30, 2006, the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Total Leverage Ratio for such period were greater than or equal to 1.50:1.00 but less than 2.00:1.00 and (iii) 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 3.00:1.00.

          (b) The definition of “Indebtedness” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to (i) delete the word “and” at the end of clause (g) thereof; (ii) delete the period at the end of clause (h) thereof and substitute therefor a semi-colon (“;”); and (iii) add at the end of such definition the following:

     “(i) the Convertible Debt, provided that upon and to the extent of the conversion of such Convertible Debt into capital stock of the Company, such Convertible Debt shall no longer constitute Indebtedness.”

          (c) The definition of “Leverage Ratio” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add immediately after the phrase “the ratio of total consolidated Indebtedness” the parenthetical “(excluding the Convertible Debt)”.

          (d) Clause (3) of the definition of “Permitted Acquisition” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     “(3) After giving pro forma effect to such Acquisition (calculated as if such Acquisition was consummated as of the first day of such twelve month period, including the effect of any Indebtedness assumed in connection with such Acquisition, and including adjustments as are permitted under Regulation S-X of the SEC), the Leverage Ratio for the twelve month period most recently ended with respect to which the Company has delivered financial statements pursuant to Section 7.01 is less than 2.00 to 1.00, or if the Leverage Ratio for such twelve month period is greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00, the aggregate cash consideration paid, incurred or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries upon the consummation of such Acquisition and with respect to all other Acquisitions consummated during such period, plus Indebtedness of the target company or operations assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than payments by the target company prior to the Acquisition) with respect to each such Acquisitions, plus any deferred payments booked as a liability upon the consummation of such Acquisitions (collectively, “Cash Consideration”), plus the aggregate consideration paid and other payments made by the Company during such period with respect to capital stock repurchases and redemptions, and repurchases, redemptions and prepayments of the Convertible Debt, is equal to or less than $5,000,000.”

          (e) Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to insert alphabetically the following defined terms:

     “(h) Indebtedness consisting of Convertible Debt in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed $100,000,000.”
