Exhibit 10.1.2

FIRST AMENDMENT, dated as of February 28, 2007 (this “First Amendment”), to the Credit Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”), among NMH HOLDINGS, LLC., a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), NATIONAL MENTOR HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the several banks and other financial institutions parties thereto (the “Existing Lenders” and, together with the Lenders providing the relevant replacement Tranche B Term Loans (the “Replacement Tranche B Term Loan Lenders”) and the Lenders providing the relevant replacement Credit-Linked Deposits (the “Replacement Institutional L/C Lenders”), the “Lenders”), and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders thereunder (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Existing Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to amend the pricing of the Tranche B Term Loans and the Institutional Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are willing to agree to such amendment, but only upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

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

1.   Defined Terms.   Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms that are defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

2.   Replacement of Tranche B Term Loans and Credit-Linked Deposits.

(a)   The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) it wishes to replace the Tranche B Term Loans with term loans having the same terms except the pricing provided for in this First Amendment and replace the Total Credit-Linked Deposit with cash deposits having the same terms except the pricing provided for in this First Amendment and (ii) with the consent of the Administrative Agent, and having given at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Tranche B Term Loan Lenders and Institutional L/C Lenders, instead of prepaying the Tranche B Term Loans and borrowing new ones and reducing the Total Credit-Linked Deposit and redepositing cash in order to effect such repricing, it has elected to require the Tranche B Term Loan Lenders and Institutional L/C Lenders not consenting to this First Amendment to assign their Tranche B Term Loans and Credit-Linked Deposits to the Administrative Agent and its designees and to amend with their consent and the consent of Tranche B Term Loan Lenders and Institutional L/C Lenders consenting to this First Amendment the pricing applicable to the Tranche B Term Loans and Total Credit-Linked Deposit as provided for in this First Amendment, all as permitted and contemplated by the last paragraph of Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. Each of the Administrative Agent and its designees, and each existing Tranche B Term Loan Lender and Institutional L/C Lender that consents to this First Amendment, shall automatically be deemed to be a Tranche B Term Loan Lender or Institutional L/C Lender, as applicable, under the Credit Agreement as amended hereby and no further action by such Tranche B Term Loan Lender or Institutional L/C Lender shall be required.

(b)   The Administrative Agent and its designees as set forth on the signature pages hereto or in consents hereto (i) severally agree to purchase the Tranche B Term Loans and Credit-Linked Deposits being assigned as contemplated by paragraph (a) of this Section 2 on the First Amendment Effective Date (as defined below) in the respective principal amounts set forth with their signatures on such signature




pages or consents and (ii) consent to the amendments to the Credit Agreement contained in this First Amendment. Such purchase shall be made at par. It is agreed, and notwithstanding any provision of the Credit Agreement to the contrary, that $219,776,250.00, $113,297,500.00 and $251,200.00 of the Tranche B Term Loans shall be subject as of the First Amendment Effective Date to an Interest Period ending on March 30, 2007, April 30, 2007, and March 30, 2007, respectively, and that the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such portion of the Tranche B Term Loans for such Interest Periods shall be 5.37%, 5.36% and 5.37% per annum, respectively. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) accrued interest on the Tranche B Term Loans and accrued interest and fees on the Total Credit-Linked Deposit on the First Amendment Effective Date and (ii) any amounts due to the Tranche B Term Loan Lenders and Institutional L/C Lenders that are not Replacement Tranche B Term Loan Lenders or Replacement Institutional L/C Lenders pursuant to Section 2.20(c) of the Credit Agreement, as though the Tranche B Term Loans or Credit-Linked Deposits held by them had been prepaid or reduced on the First Amendment Effective Date; provided that accrued interest on the Total Credit-Linked Deposit payable by the Administrative Agent shall be paid by the Administrative Agent.

(c)   By receiving such purchase price to be made at par, as provided in the last paragraph of Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, the Tranche B Term Loan Lenders and Institutional L/C Lenders not consenting to this First Amendment shall automatically be deemed to have assigned their Tranche B Term Loans and Credit-Linked Deposits pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Assumption attached as Exhibit E to the Credit Agreement, and accordingly no other action by such Tranche B Term Loan Lenders and Institutional L/C Lenders shall be required in connection with such assignment or this First Amendment.

3.   Amendments to Section 1.1.

(a)   The definition of “Pricing Grid” contained in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing clause (b) thereof as follows:

5.   Amendment to Section 2.24.   Section 2.24 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following proviso after the first proviso at the end of the first sentence of paragraph (d) thereof:

Credit-Linked Deposit using proceeds of Indebtedness incurred by the Borrower (or deposits similar to the Credit-Linked Deposits) from a substantially concurrent issuance or incurrence of syndicated credit facilities provided by one or more banks or other financial institutions for which the interest rate and fees payable thereon is lower than the interest rate of this Section on the date of such optional reduction plus the Credit-Linked Deposit Fee Rate with respect to the Total Credit-Linked Deposit shall be accompanied by payment of a 1% prepayment premium on the deposit amount of such Lender’s Credit-Linked Deposit so reduced (unless such prepayment  premium is waived by such Lender).”

Any reference to the “Credit Agreement” in the Loan Documents or any related documents shall be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this First Amendment.
