Exhibit B

A. Engineering, design, and prototyping fees

     The consulting engagement will be broken into discrete parts. The Company and Consultant will work together to frame and agree on the scope of each part. Consultant will then provide to Company an estimate of the cost to complete the defined part of the project. If the estimate is acceptable, Company will provide Consultant with a purchase order to execute the defined part of the project. If Consultant subsequently anticipates that the cost to complete the work may exceed that which was outlined in the purchase order, then Consultant will notify Company as soon as practicable.

     All Consultant invoices must reference a valid purchase order. No payment will be made to Consultant for services or products not covered by a Company approved purchase order.

     Consultant will ▇▇▇▇ for services at the following rates.

     Estimate:

          Typical fees may lie in the range of $5,000 to $30,000 per month. Typical projects range from three months to twelve months. Hours typically break down by these approximate percentages:

Administrative Services			5	%		Assembly			5	%
Technician			15	%		Graphic Design			2	%
Documentation/Drafting			10	%		Engineer			20	%
Senior Engineer			40	%		Senior Manager			3	%

     It is currently estimated that this engagement will involve design, development, validation, set up of manufacturing, and the manufacture of an RF Generator similar to the one described in Broncus Draft Specification Document 10089revl. The cost of these activities is estimated below. Consultant will promptly notify Company in the event that actual costs are projected to significantly exceed these estimates.

     1. Design and development starting with generic Stellartech RF Generator, (please note that the mechanical specifications are significantly different than our current generic design and will require redesign to fit in the enclosure size specified.) Delivery of one prototype. Estimated at $60,000.

     2. Preliminary design validation to FDA and IEC requirements. Software validation. Estimated at $30,000.

     3. Manufacture of 5 pilot units. Estimated at $30,000.

     5. Set up for manufacturing including fully released Rev. A Device Master Record and construction or procurement of all test fixtures. Estimated at $30,000.

Estimated total cost = $180,000.

     Notes:

     1. Consultant agrees to hold these prices constant through the duration of this Product’s design cycle or one year, whichever is earlier.

     2. Out-of-town trips are charged at 10 hours per day and Consultant will work exclusively for Company during this time or charges will be reduced accordingly.

     3. Project manager will be ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

B. Manufacturing Costs; Prices and Licenses

     1. Direct labor rates are defined as follows:

		Per Hour
Senior Engineer		$	47.50
Engineer		$	27.50
Technician		$	17.50
Assembler		$	13.00

     2. Price

          a. Standard Price and Cost are defined as follows. All prices and costs are for a single Product.:

          Standard Price = Cost + Standard Gross Margin + Special Demand Cost

          Cost = Materials Cost + Materials Burden + Direct Labor + Overhead

          Special Demand Cost = Carrying Cost ¸ Minimum Yearly Order Quantity

          Carrying Cost = Materials Cost + Material Burden x Prime Rate x Number of Special Demand Units Carried

Where:
“Standard Gross Margin” is 35% of Transfer Price
“Material Burden” is 20% of material cost
Overhead is 200% of direct labor

b. Transfer price. Consultant will sell to Company each Product for the Standard Price except those listed in “c.,” below.

Example:

The following is given to clarify the calculation and is not an estimate of Transfer Price.

If:
Materials cost	= $1000
Direct labor	= $400
Prime Rate	= 8.5%
Minimum expected yearly order quantity	= 100 units
Number of Special Demand Units Carried	= 10 units
then,
Material Burden	= $1000 x 0.2 = $200
Overhead	= $400X2 = $800
Carrying Cost	= ($1000 + $200) X 0.085 X 10 = $1020
and,
Cost	= 1000 + 200 + 400 + 800 = $2400
Std Gross Margin	= $2400 / (1 - 0.35) = $3692 - $2400 = $1292
and,
Transfer Price	= $3692
Special Demand Cost	= $1020 /100 = $10.20
Standard Price	= $2400 + $1292 + $10.20 = $3702.20

                        c. Reduced Price. Consultant will sell to Company each Product for Cost if this Product meets all three of these requirements: No more than 25% of any written purchase order, no more than 25 units for the term of this contract unless mutually decided upon by the parties, and Company’s intention is not to sell the individual Products obtained at the Reduced Price.

     Example:

Reduced Price = $2400.00

     Consultant will be provide Company with access to audit Consultant’s relevant cost information, no more than twice per calendar year at the Company’s expense. Consultant will provide Company with full access to observe manufacturing.

     3. Delivery

          Consultant will provide the following delivery times to Company:

          a. Standard Lead-Time. Standard Lead-Time for delivery to Company of Products is ninety days after receipt by Consultant of a written purchase order.

          b. Special Demand. Up to once per every three months, Consultant must be able to deliver ten Products to Company thirty days after receipt by Consultant of a written purchase order that specifies “Special Demand.”

     4. Definition of Consultant’ s Technology

          Consultant’s proprietary technology includes a generic RF system for medical applications consisting of a mechanical enclosure design, RF power generation and measurement PC board, CPU board and software, and front panel board, including all documentation associated with this design.

          Consultant also owns several other designs that can be used as starting points to expedite development of alternate configurations. These other designs include circuitry to generate and measure RF energy in the following configurations: 15 ▇▇▇▇▇, 100 ▇▇▇▇▇, and circuitry to measure one or more thermocouples or thermistors. Included is the software to work with such systems, and all documentation associated with such systems.

     5. Minimum Purchase Amount

          a. In consideration of the Consultant’s contributions to the development of the Products and such Consultant’s assignment of any right, title and interest in and to any Inventions related to the provision of the Services as set forth in Section 6 of the Agreement, the Company agrees to purchase not fewer than $1,000,000 worth of Products if the Products contain Consultant’s Technology (the “Minimum Purchase Amount”) or $500,000 worth of Products if Products do not contain Consultant’s Technology (the “Minimum Purchase Amount”) of Products from Consultant before it purchases any such Products from a manufacturer other than Consultant.

          b. If the Company has purchased fewer than half of the Minimum Purchase Amount of Products from Consultant and desires to use a manufacturer other than Consultant for the manufacture of Products, the Company shall pay to Consultant a fee (“Alternate Manufacturer Fee”) of one tenth of the Minimum Purchase Amount, whereupon the license granted by Consultant to the Company in Section 6.3 shall continue and be extended to include the manufacture of the Products by the Company or its contractors and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

          Examples:

          If the Consultant’s Technology is used in the Product, and Company has purchased $450,000.00 worth of Products by the time production is transferred to a manufacturer other than the Consultant, then the Alternate Manufacturer Fee amount will be (0.1 X 1,000,000) = $100,000.

          If the Consultant’s Technology is not used in the Product, and Company has purchased $200,000.00 worth of Products by the time production is transferred to a

manufacturer other than the Consultant, then the Alternate Manufacturer Fee amount will be (0.1X500,000) = $50,000.

          c. If the Company has purchased more than half but less than the entire Minimum Purchase Amount of Products from Consultant and desires to use a manufacturer other than Consultant for the manufacture of Products, the Company shall pay to Consultant an Alternate Manufacturer Fee, whereupon the license granted by Consultant to the Company in Section 6.3 shall continue and be extended to include the manufacture of the Products by the Company or its contractors and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. The Alternate Manufacturer Fee will be equal to one fifth of the difference between the Minimum Purchase Amount and the amount of Products already purchased.

          Example:

          If the Consultant’s Technology is used in the Product, and Company has purchased $850,000.00 worth of Products by the time production is transferred to a manufacturer other than the Consultant, then the Alternate Manufacturer Fee amount will be (1,000,000 - 850,000 ) / 5 = $30,000.00.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section B (“Manufacturing Costs, Prices and Licenses”), in the event that the Company does not purchase the Minimum Purchase Amount of Products from Consultant due to an act or omission on the part of Consultant or the failure of Consultant to deliver Products reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Company shall not be liable to Consultant for any such fee. The license granted by Consultant to the Company in Section 6.3 shall continue and be extended to include the manufacture of the Products by the Company or its contractors.

     In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 2.2(a), 2.2(b), or 2.2(d) of this Agreement, or upon expiration of the Agreement, the license granted by Consultant to the Company in Section 6.3 shall continue and be extended to include the manufacture of the Products by the Company or its contractors.

C. Payments; Late Fees

     All payments shall be due within thirty (30) days of invoicing. The Company shall pay a late fee equal to the lesser of 12% per annum or the maximum amount permitted by law upon any amounts that have not been received within sixty (60) days of invoicing.

D. Equity and milestones

     Company will grant Consultant an option for 20,000 shares of common Broncus Technologies, Inc. shares, subject to approval by the Board of Directors, at the board meeting following the signing of this contract. The exercise price will be at the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The options will only vest upon completion of milestones listed below.
