Exhibit (h)(5)(iii)(b)


                         AMENDMENT TO SERVICES AGREEMENT

     This Amendment ("Amendment") is made as of November 1, 2000, by and between
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. ("Schwab"), a California corporation, each registered
investment company ("Fund Company") executing this Amendment on its own behalf
and on behalf of its series or classes of shares ("Fund(s)") listed on Schedule
I hereto, and Denver Investment Advisors, LLC ("Fund Affiliate"), and amends the
Services Agreement, made as of March 26, 1996 as amended thereafter ("Services
Agreement"). All capitalized terms used in the Amendment and not defined herein
shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Services Agreement.

     WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend the Services Agreement to clarify
certain Fee payment obligations; and

     WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend Schedule I to the Services Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises
set forth below, the parties agree as follows:

     1. The following Section 14(d) shall be inserted as Section 14(d) to the
Services Agreement:

          14. d. In the event a Fund merges or is subject to some other form of
     business reorganization such that shareholders of the Fund receive shares
     of an entity not listed on Schedule I to this Agreement (each share a
     "Reorganized Share"), Fund Affiliate will remain obligated to pay Schwab
     the Fee as to each Reorganized Share for so long as such Reorganized Share
     is held in any Schwab account, unless such Reorganized Share is subject to
     a services agreement with Schwab other than this services agreement.

     2. Schedule I to the Services Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety
and Schedule I attached hereto shall be inserted in lieu thereof.

     3. Except as specifically set forth herein, all other provisions of the
Services Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the date
first written above.
