For this purpose, the term “**Value-Adding Operating Expenses**” shall include only those operatingexpenses incurred by Purchaser for value-adding functions performed by Purchaser and shall not include expenses for cost of goods sold, advertising, sales incentives, promotion, product warranty, or product liability.
