TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
12.50% Senior Notes due 2018
On February 9, 2011, National Mentor Holdings, Inc. (the Company) completed the issuance of $250
million in aggregate principal amount of its 12.50% Senior Notes due 2018 (the Notes) at an issue
price of 97.737% of their face value, to qualified institutional buyers within the United States
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and to
persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes
mature on February 15, 2018 and bear interest at a rate of 12.5% per annum, payable semi-annually
on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2011.
The Company used the net proceeds from the offering, together with borrowings under the New Senior
Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below) and cash on hand, to (i) repay all amounts owing under
the Companys Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below) and the Companys Mortgage Facility; (ii)
purchase $171.9 million of the Companys 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the Senior
Subordinated Notes) pursuant to the previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation for
the Senior Subordinated Notes; (iii) pay a $229.3 million dividend to NMH Holdings, LLC (Parent),
which in turn made a distribution to NMH Holdings, Inc., which used a portion of the proceeds of
the distribution to repurchase $210.9 million of the Senior Floating Rate Toggle Notes due 2014
issued by NMH Holdings, Inc. (the Senior Toggle Notes) pursuant to the previously announced
tender offer and consent solicitation for the Senior Toggle Notes; and (iv) pay related fees and expenses.
NMH Holdings, Inc. also repurchased $13.5 million of Toggle Notes
held by the Company.
Indenture
The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 9, 2011 (the Indenture),
among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein (the Subsidiary Guarantors) and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The Notes are the Companys unsecured obligations
and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by
the Subsidiary Guarantors.
The Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or part, at any time prior to February 15,
2014, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the redemption date and plus an applicable premium. The Company may redeem the
Notes, in whole or in part, on or after February 15, 2014, at the redemption prices set forth in
the Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. At any time on or before
February 15, 2014, the Company may choose to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes at a redemption price equal to 112.5% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net proceeds of one or more equity offerings, so
long as at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the senior notes remain
outstanding after each such redemption.
The Indenture contains covenants that limit the Companys ability and the ability of its restricted
subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions or
investments; (ii) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; (iii) create liens on
assets; (iv) transfer or sell assets; (v) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (vi)
create restrictions on dividends or other payments by the restricted subsidiaries; and (vii) merge,
consolidate or sell substantially all of the Companys assets. The Indenture also provides for
customary events of default.
The description of the Notes and the Indenture contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Indenture, a copy of which is
filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Senior Secured Credit Agreement
On February 9, 2011, the Company entered into a new senior credit agreement (the New Senior Credit
Agreement) with UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as administrative agent, and the lenders named therein,
for the new senior secured credit facilities (the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities),
consisting of a six-year $530.0 million term loan facility (the New Term Loan Facility), of which
$50.0 million was deposited in a cash collateral account in
support of issuance of letters of credit under an institutional
letter of credit facility (the Institutional Letter of Credit
Facility), and a $75.0 million five-year senior secured revolving
credit facility (the New Senior Revolver). All of the Companys obligations under the New Senior
Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed by Parent and the Subsidiary Guarantors. The obligations
under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities are secured by a pledge of 100% of the Companys
capital stock and the capital stock of domestic subsidiaries owned by the Company and any other
domestic Subsidiary Guarantor and 65% of the capital stock of any first tier foreign subsidiaries,
and a security interest in substantially all of the Companys tangible and intangible assets and
the tangible and intangible assets of Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor.
The New Senior Revolver includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for
borrowings on same-day notice, referred to as the swingline loans. Any issuance of letters of
credit or making of a swingline loan will reduce the amount available under the revolving credit
facility. On February 9, 2011, the Company borrowed $900,000
under the New Senior Revolver
and had $74.1 million of availability under the New Senior Revolver. As of
February 9, 2011, the Company had $36.4 million of letters of
credit issued under the Institutional Letter of Credit Facility.
At the Companys option, the Company may add one or more new term loan facilities or increase the
commitments under the New Senior Revolver (collectively, the Incremental Borrowings) in an
aggregate amount of up to $125.0 million so long as certain conditions, including a consolidated
leverage ratio (as defined in the new senior credit agreement) of not more than 6.00 to 1.00 on a
pro forma basis, are satisfied. The covenants in the Indenture governing the Notes effectively
limit the amount of Incremental Borrowings that we may incur to not more than $75.0 million.
Borrowings under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest, at the Companys option,
at: (i) a rate equal to the greater of (a) the prime rate of UBS AG, Stamford Branch, (b) the
federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.0%, and (c) the Eurodollar rate for an interest period of
one-month beginning on such day plus 100 basis points, plus 4.25%; or (ii) the Eurodollar rate
(provided that the rate shall not be less than 1.75% per annum), plus 5.25%. The Company is also
required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the New Senior Revolver at an initial rate of
0.50% of the average daily unutilized commitments thereunder. The Company must also pay customary
letter of credit fees, including a fronting fee as well as administration fees. As of February 9,
2011, borrowings under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities bore interest at a weighted average
rate of 7.0%.
The New Senior Credit Agreement requires the Company to make mandatory prepayments, subject to
certain exceptions, with: (i) beginning in fiscal year 2011, 50% (which percentage will be reduced
upon our achievement of certain leverage ratios) of the Companys annual excess cash flow (provided
that for fiscal year 2011, excess cash flow will only be calculated from April 1, 2011 through
September 30, 2011); (ii) 100% of net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course assets sales or
other dispositions of property, subject to certain exceptions; and (iii) 100% of the net cash
proceeds of any debt incurrence, other than proceeds from the Notes and other debt permitted under
the New Senior Credit Agreement. The Company is required to repay the
New Term Loan Facility portion of the
New Senior Secured Credit Facilities in quarterly principal installments of 0.25% of the principal
amount, with the balance payable at maturity.
The New Senior Credit Agreement contains financial covenants. The Company is required to maintain
at the end of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2011, a
consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 7.25 to 1.00. This consolidated leverage ratio will
step down over time, starting with the quarter ending December 31, 2012. The Company is also
required to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the quarter ending
September 30, 2011, a consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 1.30 to 1.00. This interest
coverage ratio will step up over time, starting with the quarter ending March 31, 2012.
The New Senior Credit Agreement also contains a number of covenants that, among other things,
restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Companys ability and the ability of its subsidiaries
to: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) create liens on assets; (iii) engage in mergers or
consolidations; (iv) sell assets; (v) pay dividends and distributions or repurchase the Companys
capital stock; (vi) make capital expenditures; (vii) make investments, loans or
3
advances;
(viii) repay certain indebtedness; (ix) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (x) enter into
sale and leaseback transactions; (xi) amend material agreements governing certain of the Companys
indebtedness; (xii) change our lines of business; (xiii) make certain acquisitions; (xiv) change
the status of NMH Holdings as a passive holding company; and (xv) limitations on the letter of
credit cash collateral account. If the Company withdraws any of the $50.0 million from the cash
collateral account supporting the issuance of letters of credit, it must use the cash to either
prepay the New Term Loan Facility or to secure any other obligations under the New Senior Secured
Credit Facilities in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the administrative agent. The New Senior Credit
Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and events of default.
Management Agreement
On February 9, 2011, the Company,
NMH Investment, LLC (NMH Investment), NMH Holdings, Inc., Parent and National Mentor Holdings, LLC entered into an amended and restated management
agreement with Vestar Capital Partners (Vestar) relating to certain advisory and consulting
services rendered by Vestar. Pursuant to the amended and restated management agreement, the
Company has agreed to continue to pay Vestar an aggregate per annum management fee equal to the
greater of (i) $850,000 or (ii) an amount per annum equal to 1.00% of the Companys consolidated
EBITDA for each fiscal year before deduction of Vestars fee, determined as set forth in the
Companys New Senior Credit Agreement. The amended and restated management agreement also provides
for the payment of reasonable and customary fees to Vestar for services in connection with a sale
of the Company, an initial public offering by or involving NMH Investment or any of its
subsidiaries or any extraordinary acquisition by or involving NMH Investment or any of its
subsidiaries; provided, that such fees shall only be paid with the consent of the directors of the
Company who are not affiliated with or employed by Vestar. The Company has agreed to indemnify
Vestar and its affiliates from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out
of the performance by Vestar of its services pursuant to the management agreement. The management
agreement will terminate at such time as Vestar and its partners and their respective affiliates
hold, directly or indirectly in the aggregate, less than 20% of the voting power of the Companys
outstanding voting stock and, as amended and restated, upon a sale of the Company or the completion
of an initial public offering.
Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 9, 2011, in connection with the borrowings under the New Senior Secured Credit
Facilities, the Company repaid in full all outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement,
dated as of June 29, 2006, as amended from time to time (the Existing Senior Secured Credit
Facilities), by and among Parent, the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative

Senior Subordinated Notes that were tendered prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on
January 27, 2011 (such date and time, the Consent Date) pursuant to its previously announced

amendments to the indenture governing the Senior Toggle Notes set forth in that certain
supplemental indenture dated September 27, 2011 became operative. Accordingly, substantially
