Re: Expense Limitation
To Whom It May Concern:
Effective March 1, 2023, BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. ("BNYM Investment Adviser"), intending to be legally bound, hereby confirms its agreement in respect of BNY Mellon Alternative Diversifier Strategies Fund (the "Fund"), a series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds II, Inc. (the "Company"), as follows:
Until March 1, 2024, BNYM Investment Adviser will waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the direct expenses of the Fund so that the direct expenses of none of the Fund's classes (excluding Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder services fees, taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) exceed .55%. On or after March 1, 2024, BNYM Investment Adviser may terminate this expense limitation agreement at any time. Because "acquired fund fees and expenses" are incurred indirectly by the fund, as a result of its investments in underlying funds, such fees and expenses are not included in the expense limitation.
This Agreement may only be amended by agreement of the Company, on behalf of the Fund, upon the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company and BNYM Investment Adviser to lower the net amounts shown and may only be terminated prior to March 1, 2024 in the event of termination of the Management Agreement between BNYM Investment Adviser and the Company with respect to the Fund.
