Superalloy Powders Technical Assistance and Powder Supply Agreements
 
On September 30, 2013, the Company entered into a multi-level agreement with United Technologies Corporation (“UTC”) through its Pratt & Whitney Division, which includes a technical assistance agreement and a long-term powder supply agreement. The technical assistance agreement provides for the licensing of technology associated with the production of superalloy powders. As a result of the agreements, the Company began construction of a superalloy powder facility which is expected to take approximately 18 months to construct at an estimated cost of $30 million. Once the facility is qualified by UTC, the Company will supply UTC with superalloy powder for up to 20 years. The powder supply agreement provides for minimum guaranteed purchase quantities of specified materials for a period of 12 years.
 
According to the terms of the technology licensing agreement, the Company paid a $13.0 million up-front license fee in equal quarterly installments beginning on December 15, 2013. This amount has been capitalized and will be amortized as a reduction to revenue over the term of the minimum guarantee period of 12 years. As of December 31, 2014, $13.0 million of the upfront license fee is included in other assets.
