These technologies are designed to improve the reliability and resiliency of our nation s electricity grid, improve the efficiency of our transportation sector, and support hundreds of additional new product applications.

4 FROM CONCEPT TO COMMERCIAL SCALE EBP CAN ACCELERATE YOUR PROJECT, WHILE REDUCING BOTH RISK AND CAPITAL INVESTMENT Eastman Business Park s comprehensive suite of test, validation, prototyping, and pilot manufacturing tools are specifically designed to help accelerate innovation out of the lab to high volume manufacturing in the energy storage sector. The Park s facilities, capabilities and amenities are uniquely positioned to support all energy-related technologies requiring thin film coated electrodes and other components, from batteries to ultra-capacitors to fuel cells to photovoltaics and beyond. Eastman Business Park s coating facilities at several scales can lead to a high volume, efficient, cost effective process, keeping advanced manufacturing jobs right here in the U.S. Plans also are in the works to add flexible pilot manufacturing capabilities, including dry rooms and semi-automated assembly equipment. This, combined with the state-of-art testing facilities at the NY-BEST Battery and Energy Storage Technology (BEST) Test and Commercialization Center makes Eastman Business Park the single site for commercialization of next generation energy storage products.

6 A MANUFACTURING ECOSYSTEM FOR EMERGING ENERGY STORAGE COMPANIES A significant amount of the technology in the emerging energy sector requires the deposition of novel materials onto flexible substrates using roll-to-roll manufacturing processes such as battery electrodes and fuel cell MEAs. That equipment, combined with the know-how to develop and operate these processes, already exists at Eastman Business Park. The result: next generation clean and alternative energy products can be brought to market much more quickly and economically. That s why high tech energy related companies and universities from around the world are converging at Eastman Business Park to create prototypes for new energy storage and delivery systems, test them, do pilot manufacturing and then get business assistance to take those products to market. Amenities include: Pilot and manufacturing coating facilities for depositing specialized materials onto a variety of substrates paper, polymers and metal foils that range in thicknesses from five to 500 µm Facilities for energy storage testing and validation of commercially-viable products. Multiple pilot tools that support development of a variety of custom thin films all applicable to next generation solar materials, fuel cell membranes and battery electrodes. World-class analytical services staff with extended hours of availability to all tenants. Environmental chambers that allow accelerated testing under various atmospheric conditions. Light exposure chambers available to expose materials to the light intensity desired. Access to highly competent expertise in coating, drying, web conveyance, converting & materials formulation.

8 We take full advantage of Eastman Business Park s infrastructure as well as its ability to maneuver through complex environmental and regulatory compliance issues. That includes access to utilities, logistics, materials handling, and sophisticated analytical testing. This allows Graphenix to focus its financial and technical resources on the advancement of our technology for ultra capacitors. Robert Anstey CEO Graphenix Development The facilities at Eastman Business Park have enabled NOHMs and other companies like ours to gain access to testing facilities where we can utilize world-class analytical equipment, as well as pilot coating and testing facilities that represent millions of dollars in savings in equipment and capabilities that we can leverage and use on an as-needed basis saving a tremendous amount of money on the road to commercialization and rapid market entry. Rich Delmerico CEO NOHMs Technologies

9 Intrinsiq Materials has developed ground-breaking technology in the fields of electronic nanopastes and inks. With the support of ESD, NYSERDA and all of the capabilities of the Rochester area, including the facilities at Eastman Business Park, the opportunity to leverage the technology into critical, game-changing applications is fast becoming a reality. Robert Cournoyer President and CEO Intrinsiq Materials We chose Eastman Business Park in Rochester to gain access to Kodak s considerable prowess in thin-film technology and much of the infrastructure we will require. In addition, we can tap expertise at Rochester s distinguished universities. Chuck Provini President and CEO Natcore Solar The New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology Consortium (NY-BEST) and DNV GL have together created the Battery and Energy Storage (BEST) Test and Commercialization Center at Eastman Business Park. Through this public-private collaboration, the center builds upon the Rochester area s manufacturing expertise, skilled workforce and university R&D resources and serves as a magnet to attract clean tech businesses at the Park and grow the energy storage industry in New York State. The assets at Eastman Business Park will only continue to anchor this initiative as a pivotal regional economic development resource. William Acker Executive Director NY-BEST
