- Definition

We incur up-front costs in order to obtain contracts with certain customers, referred to as Business Incentive Plan assets ("BIPs"). We capitalized these up-front costs as a component of other assets and amortize the related amounts over the estimated life of the contract as a reduction of net sales. The Company receives volume commitments and/or sole supplier status from its customers over the life of the contractual arrangements, which approximates a five-year weighted average useful life.
