We recorded net provisions for employee severance of $13.6 million for 2014, which covered approximately 350 individuals in engineering, manufacturing, administration and sales. Employee severance is expected to be paid within the next twelve months.
We recorded provisions for contract termination costs of $11.4 million for 2014, of which $7.9 million was recorded for the fair value at the cease-use date of operating lease liabilities for space we have exited and $3.0 million was recorded for lease termination costs. Facilities consisted of manufacturing sites, as well as sales, engineering and administrative space. We recorded a $2.8 million reversal of prior provision related to a lease termination agreement executed during 2014 for a manufacturing facility in Scottsdale, Arizona. We recorded provisions for this facility when it ceased production activities in 2011.
We recorded net provisions for other associated costs for restructuring of $9.2 million for 2014 primarily for facility and equipment impairments and costs incurred to close facilities and relocate operations, and included in this amount was a charge of $1.5 million related to the sale of a property that was previously used primarily as a manufacturing facility.
