ILLUMINEX CORPORATION Enabling Energy Solutions with Nanotechnology  Functional Nanomaterials Manufacturing  Devices for Sustainable Energy Generation and Storage The Illuminex Beginning: Starting a High Tech Company with Zero Resources or Capital and Succeeding!

Corporate Overview  Founded in 2003 by Dr. Joe Habib, an MIT Fellow active in Nanotechnology Ventures since Over $5M in Federal and State R & D Grant Support  Headquartered in Lancaster, PA, 10 Employees+ University and Industry Consultants, other Professionals ~6000 sq. ft. of fully equipped laboratory space. New Silicon Process Facility Opened August 2010  Platform Nanowire Array Process: Patented (US ) - Nano-structured materials enable innovative new product designs with unprecedented performance  Illuminex is developing low-cost, high-volume, “Bottom Up” Nanowire Fabrication Techniques - World-leading materials breadth, methods, and capabilities - Nanowires made in diverse geometries, on numerous substrates Ag on GlassSi on AlGaSb on SapphireNi on ITO Nanowire Arrays

Business and Educational Collaborative Opportunities  Illuminex Began in 2003 on the Millersville University Campus in a Storage Closet  M.U.Provided a “LaunchPad” for Business Opportunities, Collaborations  Helped Attract Federal Grant Funding (SBIR, STTR)  Faculty Interactions were/are Very Useful, Win-Win  ITN Funding Facilitated Research Programs (BioSensor, Solar Cells, Heat Pipe) Illuminex Nanowire Solar Cell Design

Business and Educational Collaborative Challenges  Culture Clash-University Bureaucracy vs. Agile Small Business  Misconception of Ownership, Value etc.  Intellectual Property  Priorities  Misperception from Outsiders about Nature of Relationship  Everyone is on a Learning Curve

 Illuminex Expanded from University to Industrial R & D Facility after 3+ Years  Maintained Facility at MU through 2008  Relationship is Ongoing and Provides Access to a Well Qualified Labor Pool  Local Training Programs Properly Targeted for Technology ex. PSU NMT program  Internships Useful, Cost Effective, Employee Resource, Chance to Screen Candidates Transition to Industry

 Illuminex developed/refined processes to produce high aspect, vertically-aligned, Free-Standing, uniform Nanowire Arrays on a variety of substrate materials using reliable, low-cost methods  Products Targeting Energy Verticals based on Nanowire Array Platform: -Silicon Nanowire Arrays for Photovoltaics (PV) - Copper-Silicon Nano-Composite Lithium Ion Battery Anodes  Potentially Disruptive Production Method for Photovoltaic (PV) Materials and Devices  Lithium Ion Batteries are Projected to be a $100 Billion Market near term  Significant IP and Aggressive Patent program- 11 Patents Filed, 1 Issued- All IP Developed In-House -IP Covers material production processes, manufacturing methods, and device applications  Company has Commercial Traction with Large Partners (Ford Motors, Raytheon Company, AltairNano, A123, Johnson Controls, MaxPower, Burle Ind., Thermacore Inc.) - Generating revenue from nanowire material sales, Multiple Corporate R & D projects (P.O.’s in-hand)  Strong University-Research Alliances and Collaborations (Millersville University, Penn. State, MIT, Drexel, Boston College, Thaddeus Stevens College, Etc.) Technological Approach
