7 A. On June 20, 2023, the County and the Contractor entered into County Agreement No.
8 23-278 ("Agreement"), for a qualified agency to provide certain Mental Health Services Act
9 (MHSA) Transitional Age Youth (TAY) Mental Health Services, including integrated mental
10 health and supportive housing services to the TAY population, ages 16 to 25 years of age, who
11 have a serious mental illness and are at risk of being hospitalized, homeless, and/or
12 incarcerated; and
13 B. The Agreement incorrectly included Field Based rates as the rate category rather than
14 Full-Service Partnership and Assisted Outpatient Therapy rates, as indicated in section 4.6 of
15 the Agreement.
16 C. The County and the Contractor now desire to amend the Agreement to replace the rate
17 sheet to reflect the correct rate category and include Supplemental/Add On service codes that
18 were previously added by the DBH Director through her authority in Article 25 of the Agreement
19 to accommodate state mandated rate increases.
20 The parties therefore agree as follows:
21 1. That, effective July 1, 2023, all references in the Agreement to "Exhibit G1," shall be
22 deemed references to "Exhibit G1a." Exhibit G 1 a is attached and incorporated by this reference.
23 2. When both parties have signed this Amendment No. 1, the Service Agreement No. 23-
24 278, and this Amendment No. 1 together constitute the Agreement.
25 3. The Contractor represents and warrants to the County that:
26 a. The Contractor is duly authorized and empowered to sign and perform its obligations
27 under this Amendment.

5 provided in this section.
6 a. An "electronic signature" means any symbol or process intended by an individual
7 signing this Amendment to represent their signature, including but not limited to (1) a
8 digital signature; (2)a faxed version of an original handwritten signature; or(3)an
9 electronically scanned and transmitted (for example by PDF document) version of an
10 original handwritten signature.
11 b. Each electronic signature affixed or attached to this Amendment (1) is deemed
12 equivalent to a valid original handwritten signature of the person signing this
13 Amendment for all purposes, including but not limited to evidentiary proof in any
14 administrative or judicial proceeding, and (2) has the same force and effect as the
15 valid original handwritten signature of that person.
16 c. The provisions of this section satisfy the requirements of Civil Code section 1633.5,
17 subdivision (b), in the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act (Civil Code, Division 3, Part
18 2, Title 2.5, beginning with section 1633.1).
19 d. Each party using a digital signature represents that it has undertaken and satisfied
20 the requirements of Government Code section 16.5, subdivision (a), paragraphs (1)
21 through (5), and agrees that each other party may rely upon that representation.
22 e. This Amendment is not conditioned upon the parties conducting the transactions
23 under it by electronic means and either party may sign this Amendment with an
24 original handwritten signature.

26 which together constitute this Amendment.
