AGREEMENT




NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the respective representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser, intending to be
legally bound, hereby agree as follows:



1. Purchase and Sale of the Purchased Shares and the Option. Upon the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties
herein made by each party to the other, Seller agrees to sell and grant, and Purchaser agrees to
purchase from Seller, at the Closing, the Purchased Shares and the Option. Seller will deliver to
Purchaser at the Closing (a) a certificate or certificates representing a portion of the Purchased
Shares with duly executed stock powers attached thereto and (b) confirmation of book entry transfer
of the remaining Purchased Shares into a Depository Trust Company account of the Purchaser as may
be designated by the Purchaser.




2. Purchase Price.



(a) As the purchase price for the Purchased Shares, Purchaser will pay, or cause to be paid,
to Seller at the Closing in immediately available funds the sum of forty-eight million, two hundred
twenty-nine thousand, one hundred eighty-one dollars and twenty-five cents ($48,229,181.25).



(b) As the purchase price for the Option, Purchaser will pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller
at the Closing in immediately available funds the sum of five million dollars ($5,000,000.00).


 


 









 






3. Option.



(a) At the Closing, upon receipt of the purchase price described in Section 2(b), Seller shall
grant to Purchaser the Option to purchase from Seller, in whole or in part, at any time and from
time to time after the date of the Closing (the “Grant Date”) and on or before September 30, 2013
(the “Exercise Period”), the Remaining Shares at an exercise price of $7.25 per share, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 3(c) (the “Exercise Price”). The Exercise Price and the shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Option at any given time (the “Option Shares”) shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(c).



(b) This Option may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time during the Exercise
Period by Purchaser’s notice in writing delivered to the Seller and Purchaser’s payment to the
Seller of an amount of cash equal to the product of the Exercise Price times the applicable
number of Option Shares by wire transfer of immediately available lawful money of the United States
against the delivery to Purchaser by the release from the Custody Account (as defined in Section 4
below) of the number of the Option Shares to which such exercise applies.



(c) The Option Shares and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
as follows:




(i) If the Company shall at any time after the Grant Date and while this Option
remains outstanding and unexpired in whole or in part, effect a subdivision (by any stock
split or otherwise) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
 shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be
proportionately decreased and the number of Option Shares obtainable upon exercise of this
Option shall be proportionately increased. Conversely, if the Company shall at any time or
from time to time after the Grant Date combine (by reverse stock split or otherwise) the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in
effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased and the number
of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Option shall be proportionately
decreased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of
business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.




(ii) In the event the Company at any time, or from time to time after the Grant Date
and while this Option remains outstanding and unexpired in whole or in part, shall make or
issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to
receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock,
then and in each such event the Exercise Price then in effect immediately before such event
shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date
shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the
Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction:




A. the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance
or the close of business on such record date; and


 


2









 






B. the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such
issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of
 shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution;




provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not
fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the
Exercise Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record
date and thereafter the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of
the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.




(iii) If at any time after the Grant Date and while this Option remains outstanding
and unexpired in whole or in part, the Option Shares are changed into the same or a
different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, this Option will thereafter
represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities into which the Option
Shares are changed.




4. Custody Account.



(a) At the Closing, the Remaining Shares will be placed in a custody account (“Custody
Account”) and will, during the Exercise Period, be subject to a custody agreement in substantially
the form attached hereto as Annex A (the “Custody Agreement”). Purchaser may,
subject to its compliance with Section 3(b), exercise the Option and cause the Remaining Shares to
be released from the Custody Account in one or any number of blocks, at any one or more times
throughout the Exercise Period, as Purchaser may choose in its sole discretion. During the
Exercise Period, (i) any and all dividends or distributions (in cash or in kind) declared, paid or
payable on any Remaining Shares held in the Custody Account shall be paid or distributed to Seller,
(ii) the Remaining Shares may not be sold to any party other than Purchaser or a Permitted
Transferee, provided that (x) such Permitted Transferee shall agree to be subject to the terms of
this Agreement and the Custody Agreement and deliver to the Company a written acknowledgment in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company to that effect and (y) the Remaining
Shares transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall remain subject to the Custody Agreement, and
(iii) only Seller or a Permitted Transferee, as applicable, shall have the right to exercise the
voting rights associated with the Remaining Shares, it being understood that Seller and Permitted
Transferee, as applicable, shall maintain and not transfer full discretion over the voting of the
Remaining Shares or the manner in which the Remaining Shares are voted. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Seller or a Permitted Transferee, as applicable, may within its absolute discretion,
execute and deliver any proxy solicited by management or any other person except for an irrevocable
proxy in connection with any vote or solicitation of consents from the Company’s stockholders.

Annex A




EXECUTION VERSION




CUSTODY AGREEMENT




THIS CUSTODY AGREEMENT (as the same may be amended or modified from time to time pursuant
hereto, this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 14, 2010, by and among Westbury
(Bermuda) Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company, and Westbury Trust, a Bermuda trust (collectively,
“Seller”), Michael G. DeGroote (“DeGroote”), CBIZ, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”).



WHEREAS, Company, Seller and DeGroote are desirous of appointing the Custodian as its agent to hold
7,716,669 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein.



NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth,
the parties hereto agree as follows:



1. Appointment. Company, Seller and DeGroote hereby appoint the Custodian as the custodian for the
purposes set forth herein, and the Custodian hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and
conditions set forth herein.



2. Custody Account. The Custodian will establish and maintain one or more custody accounts as
required (the “Accounts”) in the name of Seller for the purpose of holding the Shares that shall be
deposited with the Custodian.



3. Disposition and Termination. The Custodian shall release all or a portion of the Shares
deposited in the Accounts to Company upon, and pursuant to, the joint written instructions of
Company, Seller and DeGroote in the form of Annex A hereto and in accordance with the security
procedures set forth in Section 12 below. This Agreement shall terminate at the earlier of (a) the
mutual agreement of Seller, DeGroote and Company, (b) September 30, 2013, (c) upon receipt of a
written notice from Seller, DeGroote and Company stating that the Underlying Agreement (as defined
below) has been terminated by its terms, and (d) the date on which the final release of all of the
Shares has been made hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Shares remaining in the
Accounts upon termination of this Agreement shall be returned by the Custodian to Seller (together
with all instruments of assignment executed in connection with such remaining Shares) or to whoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.



4. Use of Depositories; Nominee Name.




(a) The Custodian may deposit the Shares with, and hold securities in, any securities
depository, settlement system, dematerialized book entry system or similar system (together a
“Securities Depository”) on such terms as such systems customarily operate and Company, Seller and
DeGroote will provide the Custodian with such documentation or acknowledgements that the Custodian
may require to hold the Shares in such systems. The Custodian is not responsible for the selection
or monitoring of any Securities Depository and will have no responsibility for any act or omission
by (or the insolvency of) any Securities Depository. In the event Company, Seller or DeGroote
incur a loss due to the negligence, willful misconduct, or insolvency of a Securities Depository,
the Custodian will make reasonable endeavors, to seek recovery from the Securities Depository, but
Custodian will not be obligated to institute legal proceedings, file proofs of claim in any
insolvency proceeding, or take any similar action. The Securities Depository must be acceptable
and approved by the Custodian, as an operating system compatible with the Custodian’s bank systems.



(b) The Custodian will identify in its books that the Shares credited to the Accounts belong
to Seller (except as otherwise may be agreed by all parties hereto).



(c) The Custodian is authorized:



(i) to hold securities in or deposit securities with any Securities Depository or settlement
system, acceptable to the Custodian; and


 


 









 





(ii) to register in the name of Seller, the Custodian, a Securities Depository, or their
respective nominees, such securities as are customarily held in registered form.



5. Entitlements. With respect to all Shares held in the Accounts, the Custodian by itself, or
through the use of the book entry system or the appropriate Securities Depository, shall, unless
otherwise instructed in writing to the contrary by Company, Seller and DeGroote: (a) collect all
income and other payments reflecting dividends and other distributions on the Shares in the
Accounts and disburse such amounts to Seller; (b) forward to Seller copies of all information or
documents that it may receive from the Company which, in the opinion of the Custodian, are intended
for the beneficial owner of the Shares including, without limitation, all proxies and other
authorizations properly executed and all proxy statements, notices and reports; and (c) hold
directly, or through the book entry system or Securities Depository, all rights issued with respect
to the Shares held by the Custodian hereunder.



6. Custodian. (a) The Custodian shall have only those duties as are specifically and expressly
provided herein, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and no other duties shall be
implied. The Custodian shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of, nor
have any requirements to comply with, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument
or document between Company, Seller, DeGroote and any other party, in connection herewith, if any,
including without limitation that certain Stock and Option Purchase Agreement among Company, Seller
and DeGroote (the “Underlying Agreement”), nor shall the Custodian be required to determine if any
person or entity has complied with any Underlying Agreement, nor shall any additional obligations
of the Custodian be inferred from the terms of any Underlying Agreement, even though reference
thereto may be made in this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, those of the Underlying Agreement, any schedule or exhibit attached
to this Agreement, or any other agreement with Company, Seller and DeGroote, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall control. The Custodian may rely upon and shall not be liable
for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, document, instruction or request
furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
Company, Seller and DeGroote without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any
kind. The Custodian shall not be liable to Company, Seller, DeGroote, any beneficiary or other
person for refraining from acting upon any instruction setting forth the release of Shares in the
Accounts, unless such instruction shall have been delivered to the Custodian in accordance with
Section 12 below and the Custodian has been able to satisfy any applicable security procedures as
may be required thereunder. The Custodian shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the
validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request. The Custodian
shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due to it or the Accounts nor shall the
Custodian have any duty or obligation to confirm or verify the accuracy or correctness of any
amounts deposited with it hereunder.



(b) The Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it
except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that
the Custodian’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to
Company, Seller or DeGroote. The Custodian may execute any of its powers and perform any of its
duties hereunder directly or through affiliates or agents. The Custodian may consult with counsel,
accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Custodian shall not
be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with, or in
reliance upon, the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons. In
the event that the Custodian shall be uncertain or believe there is some ambiguity as to its duties
or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party hereto which,
in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to
refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in
escrow until it shall be given a joint direction in writing by Company, Seller and DeGroote which
eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of Custodian or by a final and
non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Company, Seller and
DeGroote agree to pursue any redress or recourse in connection with any dispute without making the
Custodian a party to the same. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no
event shall the Custodian be liable for special, incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential
loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the
Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of
action.


 


 









 





7. Succession. The Custodian may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations
hereunder by giving thirty (30) days advance notice in writing of such resignation to Company,
Seller and DeGroote specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. Company, Seller and
DeGroote shall have the right at any time by written agreement to remove the Custodian and appoint
a successor by giving the Custodian thirty (30) days advance notice in writing of such replacement
and instructions to deliver the Shares to such successor custodian. The Custodian shall have the
right to withhold an amount equal to any amount due and owing to the Custodian, plus any costs and
expenses the Custodian shall reasonably believe may be incurred by the Custodian in connection with
the termination of this Agreement. Any entity into which the Custodian may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity to which all or substantially all the escrow
business may be transferred, shall be the Custodian under this Agreement without further act.
Custodian’s sole responsibility after such thirty-day notice period expires shall be to hold the
Shares in the Accounts (without any obligation to reinvest the same) and to deliver the same to a
designated substitute custodian, if any, or in accordance with the directions of a final order or
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, at which time of delivery Custodian’s obligations
hereunder shall cease and terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 9(b).



8. Compensation and Reimbursement. Company agrees (a) to pay the Custodian upon execution of this
Agreement and from time to time thereafter reasonable compensation for the services to be rendered
hereunder, along with any fees or charges for accounts, including those levied by any governmental
authority which the Custodian may impose, charge or pass-through, which unless otherwise agreed in
writing shall be as described in Schedule 2 attached hereto, and (b) to pay or reimburse the
Custodian upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances,
including, without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred or made by it in
connection with the performance of this Agreement. The obligations contained in this Section 8
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation, replacement or removal of the
Custodian.



9. Indemnity. (a) Seller, DeGroote, and Company shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and
save harmless the Custodian and its affiliates and their respective successors, assigns, directors,
agents and employees (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, claims,
liabilities, penalties, judgments, settlements, litigation, investigations, costs or expenses
(including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel and experts and
their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively
“Losses”) arising out of or in connection with (i) the Custodian’s execution and performance of
this Agreement, tax reporting or withholding, the enforcement of any rights or remedies under or in
connection with this Agreement, or as may arise by reason of any act, omission or error of the
Indemnitee, except in the case of any Indemnitee to the extent that such Losses are finally
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been primarily caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (ii) its following any joint instructions
or other directions from the Company, Seller and DeGroote, except to the extent that its following
any such instruction or direction is expressly forbidden by the terms hereof. The indemnity
obligations set forth in this Section 9(a) shall survive the resignation, replacement or removal of
the Custodian or the termination of this Agreement.



(b) Seller hereby grants the Custodian a lien on, right of set-off against and security interest
in, the Accounts for the payment of any claim for indemnification, fees, expenses and amounts due
to the Custodian or an Indemnitee. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Custodian is expressly
authorized and directed, but shall not be obligated, to charge against, liquidate sufficient assets
and withdraw the proceeds of such from the Accounts for its own account or for the account of an
Indemnitee any amounts due to the Custodian or to an Indemnitee under either Sections 7, 8 or 9(a).



10. Account Opening Information/Taxpayer Identification Number/Tax Reporting.




(a) Patriot Act Disclosure. Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing
Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”)
requires the Custodian to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that
opens a new account with it. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge that Section 326 of the USA
PATRIOT Act and the Custodian’s identity verification procedures require the Custodian to obtain
information which may be used to confirm Seller’s and DeGroote’s identity including without
limitation name, address and organizational documents (“identifying information”). Seller and
DeGroote agree to provide the Custodian with and consents to the Custodian obtaining from third
parties any such identifying information required as a condition of opening an account with or
using any service provided by the Custodian.


 


 









 





(b) Certification and Tax Reporting. Seller, DeGroote and Company have provided the Custodian
with thier fully executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Forms W-8, or W-9 and/or other required
documentation. All interest or other income earned under this Agreement shall be allocated Seller
and reported, as and to the extent required by law, by the Custodian to the IRS, or any other
taxing authority, on IRS Form 1099 or 1042S (or other appropriate form) as income earned from the
Accounts by Seller whether or not said income has been distributed during such year. Custodian
shall withhold any taxes in the absence of proper tax documentation, or as required by law, and
shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities.



11. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and except for the joint instructions
from Company, Seller and DeGroote setting forth the release of Shares (which shall be specifically

Notwithstanding the above, in the case of communications delivered to the Custodian, such
communications shall be deemed to have been given on the date received by an officer of the
Custodian or any employee of the Custodian who reports directly to any such officer at the
above-referenced office. In the event that the Custodian, in its sole discretion, shall determine
that an emergency exists, the Custodian may use such other means of communication as the Custodian
deems appropriate.



12. Security Procedures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary as set forth in Section 11, the
joint instructions in the form of Annex A hereto setting forth the release of Shares, may be given
to the Custodian only by confirmed facsimile and no instruction for or related to the release of
Shares in the Accounts, shall be deemed delivered and effective unless the Custodian actually shall
have received such instruction by facsimile at the number provided to the Company, Seller and
DeGroote by the Custodian in accordance with Section 11 and as further evidenced by a confirmed
transmittal to that number.



(a) The Custodian is authorized to seek confirmation of the joint instructions by telephone
call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule 1 hereto, and the Custodian may rely upon
the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. The persons and
telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and
acknowledged by the Custodian. If the Custodian is unable to contact any of the authorized
representatives identified in Schedule 1, the Custodian is hereby authorized both to receive
written instructions from and seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to any
one or more, as the case may be, of each of the Company’s and Seller’s executive officers
(“Executive Officers”), which shall include the titles of President, Chief Financial Officer or
Treasurer in the case of the Company and President in the case of Seller as the Custodian may
select. Such Executive Officer shall deliver to the Custodian a fully executed incumbency
certificate, and the Custodian may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such
officer.



(b) Company, Seller and DeGroote acknowledge that the security procedures set forth in this
Section 12 are commercially reasonable.



13. Compliance with Court Orders. In the event that any of the Shares deposited hereunder shall be
attached, garnished or levied upon by any court order, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or
enjoined by an order of a court, or any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any
court order affecting the Shares deposited under this Agreement, (a) the Custodian shall provide a
copy or written notice of the same to each of Company, Seller, and DeGroote as soon as practicable
and at most within five (5) Business Days of the Custodian’s receipt of the same, and (b) the
Custodian is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to obey and comply with all
writs, orders or decrees so entered or issued, which it is advised by legal counsel of its own
choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction, and in the event that the
Custodian obeys or complies with any
such writ, order or decree it shall not be liable to Company, Seller, DeGroote or to any other
person, entity, firm or corporation, by reason of such compliance notwithstanding such writ, order
or decree be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated. “Business Day” shall
mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which the Custodian located at the
notice address set forth above is authorized or required by law or executive order to remain
closed.



14. Miscellaneous. Except for changes to the joint instructions as provided in Section 12, the
provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, amended or supplemented, in whole or in part,
only by a writing signed by all parties to this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any right or
interest hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part by any party to this Agreement, except as
provided in Section 7, without the prior consent of all parties hereto. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York. Each party irrevocably waives
any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens or any similar grounds and irrevocably
consents to service of process by mail or in any other manner permitted by applicable law and
consents to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of New York. To the extent that in
any jurisdiction Company, Seller or DeGroote may now or hereafter be entitled to claim for itself
or its assets, immunity from suit, execution attachment (before or after judgment), or other legal
process, Company, Seller and DeGroote shall not claim, and each hereby irrevocably waives, such
immunity. Each party further hereby waives any right to a trial by jury with respect to any


 


 









 






lawsuit
or judicial proceeding arising or relating to this Agreement. No party to this Agreement is liable
to any other party for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms
of this Agreement because of, acts of God, fire, war, terrorism, floods, strikes, electrical
outages, equipment or transmission failure, or other causes reasonably beyond its control. This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. All signatures of the
parties to this Agreement may be transmitted by facsimile or email, and such facsimile or email
will, for all purposes, be deemed to be the original signature of such party whose signature it
reproduces, and will be binding upon such party. If any provision of this Agreement is determined
to be prohibited or unenforceable by reason of any applicable law of a jurisdiction, then such
provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provisions
in any other jurisdiction. Where, however, the conflicting provisions of any such applicable law
may be waived, they are hereby irrevocably waived by the parties hereto to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to the end that this Agreement shall be enforced as written. Except as expressly
provided in Section 9 above, nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be
construed to give to any person or entity other than the parties hereto any legal or equitable
right, remedy, interest or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any Shares in the
Accounts hereunder.
