     and discuss the detailed  program for the transfer of technology as soon as
     practically possible.

Article 4. Payments and Record-Keeping

4.1  Stock. In partial  consideration  for the sub-license  granted to Celltrion
     hereunder by VaxGen, and in partial  consideration of the rights granted to
     Celltrion  under  a  certain  License  Agreement  of  even  date  herewith,
     Celltrion  shall  transfer  to VaxGen  7,800,000  shares of  full-paid  and
     non-assessable common shares of Celltrion,  as more particularly  described
     in the Joint Venture Agreement dated February 25, 2002, by and among VaxGen
     and certain investors in Celltrion.

4.2  Celltrion  Records.  Celltrion  shall keep full, true and accurate books of
     account  containing all particulars  which may be necessary for the purpose
     of documenting all production of Licensed Products by Celltrion (including,
     without limitation, establishing

<PAGE>

     the fully burdened manufacturing cost of all such Licensed Product and such
     other  information  as may  be  required  of  VaxGen  to  comply  with  its
     obligations to Genentech pursuant to VaxGen's license from Genentech to the
     Licensed Patent Rights and Licensed  Knowhow,  a redacted copy of which has
     been  provided  to  Celltrion's  counsel).  Celltrion's  complete  books of
     account and supporting  data therefor shall be kept at its principal  place
     of business for at least five years  following the end of the calendar year
     to which they  pertain,  and shall be made  available  for  inspection  and
     copying during regular business hours by an independent accountant retained
     by VaxGen or Genentech at VaxGen's (or Genentech's) sole expense; provided,
     however, that such inspection shall not take place more often than once per
     year during the term of this Agreement. Results of any inspection hereunder
     shall be made available promptly to both Parties in writing.

Article 5. Intellectual Property Rights

5.1  Ownership.  Nothing in this  Agreement  shall be deemed to  constitute  any
     assignment  of title in or to the  Licensed  Knowhow  and  Licensed  Patent
     Rights to  Celltrion.  Celltrion  shall retain title to its interest in any
     improvements to the Licensed Knowhow or Licensed Patent Rights developed or
     invented  solely by Celltrion or jointly by Celltrion  and any third party;
     provided,  however,  that VaxGen and Genentech shall each have a worldwide,
     non-exclusive  royalty free license to use any such improvements as it sees
     fit. The Parties shall own jointly any improvements to any Licensed Knowhow
     or  Licensed   Patent  Rights   developed  or  invented  by  both  Parties.
     Designation of  inventor(s)  on any patent  application is a matter of law,
     and shall be solely within the  discretion of qualified  patent  counsel of
     VaxGen and Celltrion to determine in accordance with the applicable laws of
     inventorship and competent written evidence.

5.2  Patent Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance.  Subject to the other terms and
     conditions of this Agreement (including the remainder of this Section 5.2),
     during the term of this  Agreement,  VaxGen  shall be  responsible  for the
     filing,  prosecution  and  maintenance of all Licensed  Patent Rights,  and
     Celltrion  shall  reimburse all reasonable  costs and expenses  incurred by
     VaxGen in  relation  to the  filing,  prosecution  and  maintenance  of the
     Licensed Patent Rights.

     VaxGen shall keep Celltrion  informed of the status of filing,  prosecution
     and  maintenance  of  Licensed  Patent  Rights  by:  (i)  for  each  patent
     application  and patent  hereunder  that contains  Broad Claims,  providing
     Celltrion with VaxGen's reasonable apportionment of out-of-pocket costs and
     expenses to date and on a going-forward basis therefor, which Celltrion may
     review with VaxGen as reasonably  requested;  (ii) updating  Celltrion on a
     regular  basis  (and  in any  event  not  less  frequently  than  annually)
     regarding  the status of the patent  applications  and  patents  within the
     Licensed Patent Rights by providing  Celltrion with a then-current  version
     of  Exhibit  "A" to this  Agreement  and  reviewing  it with  Celltrion  as
     reasonably  requested;  and (iii) notifying  Celltrion of any interference,
     opposition,  re-examination  request,  nullity proceeding,  appeal or other
     inter-party action or reissuance  proceeding  involving the Licensed Patent
     Rights. VaxGen shall

<PAGE>

     determine  in  its  sole  discretion  whether  or  not  to  file,  perfect,
     prosecute,  maintain or take or not take any other  action with  respect to
     any  patent  application  or  patent  within  the  Licensed  Patent  Rights
     (including,    without    limitation,    any   interference,    opposition,
     re-examination  request,  nullity  proceeding,  appeal or other inter-party
     action or  reissuance  proceeding  involving the Licensed  Patent  Rights).
     However,  if  VaxGen  desires  to take (or not take)  any such  action  but
     Celltrion  is  not  prepared  to  reimburse  VaxGen  therefor  as  required
     hereunder,  in such case  VaxGen  shall be free to take (or not take)  such
     action  at its sole  cost  and  expense  and,  on  notice  from  VaxGen  to
     Celltrion,  the rights  licensed to  Celltrion  under this  Agreement  with
     respect to such patent  application  or patent  shall  return to VaxGen and
     thereafter be excluded from the Licensed Patent Rights.

5.3  Patent Infringement

     (a)  If either Party learns that a third party is  infringing  or allegedly
          infringing any Licensed  Patent Rights,  it shall promptly  notify the
          other Party  thereof.  The Parties shall  cooperate and use reasonable
          efforts to stop such alleged infringement without litigation.

     (b)  VaxGen shall have the sole right (but not the  obligation) to take the
          appropriate  steps to remove the  infringement  or alleged of Licensed
          Patent  Rights,  including,  without  limitation,  initiating  a suit,
          proceeding or other legal action.

5.4  Third Party Patent Rights. If a notice of infringement is received by, or a
     suit is  initiated  against,  either  Party with  respect  to any  Licensed
     Product,  the  Parties  shall  consult  in good  faith  regarding  the best
     response.

Article 6. Confidentiality

6.1  Confidentiality.  In the course of performance of this Agreement, one Party
     may disclose to the other Party or receive from the other Party information
     which is confidential  information of the disclosing  Party. In order to be
     considered   confidential   information  of  the  disclosing   Party,  such
     information  must be in  writing  and  designated  as  confidential,  or if
     disclosed  orally  must be  confirmed  in  writing  to the  other  Party as
     confidential  within  30 days  after  such oral  disclosure  ("Confidential
     Information").   In  addition,   for  the   purposes  of  this   Agreement,
     Confidential  Information shall not include  information that (in each case

          by the disclosing Party;

     (b)  was  generally  available to the public or was  otherwise  part of the
          public domain at the time of disclosure hereunder, or became generally

          disclosure hereunder other than through

          any  act  or  omission  of the  receiving  Party  in  breach  of  this
          Agreement;

     (c)  became known to the  receiving  Party after  disclosure  from a source
          that had a lawful right to disclose such information to others; or

     (d)  was independently  developed by the receiving Party without the use of
          any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party.

     Each Party shall protect and keep  confidential  and shall not use, publish
     or  otherwise  disclose to any third party the other  Party's  Confidential
     Information  for a  period  of five  years  from  the  date  of  disclosure
     hereunder,  except as  otherwise  permitted  by this  Agreement or with the
     other Party's prior consent.

6.2  Disclosures.   Notwithstanding   Section  6.1,   each  Party  may  disclose
     Confidential  Information of the other Party during any official proceeding
     before a court or governmental  agency,  as a part of a patent  application
     filed on  inventions  made under this  Agreement,  or as necessary in order
     lawfully to manufacture Licensed Products as contemplated herein,  provided
     that  the  Party  whose  Confidential   Information  is  included  in  such
     application  shall have the opportunity to review such proposed  disclosure
     at least 30 days  prior to the date of such  filing  and does not object in
     writing to such proposed disclosure.

Article 7. Representations and Warranties

7.1  Disclaimer.  Except as expressly  provided in this  Agreement,  the Parties
     disclaim  all other  representations  and  warranties,  express or implied,
     including, without limitation, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
     PARTICULAR PURPOSE, or NON-INFRINGEMENT.

7.2  Mutual  Representations and Warranties.  Each party represents and warrants
     to the other Party that,  to its best  knowledge,  it is free to enter this
     Agreement,  in so doing it will not violate any other agreement to which it
     is party or  subject,  and  currently  has the right to grant the  licenses
     granted as set forth in this Agreement.

7.3  Representations and Warranties by VaxGen. VaxGen represents and warrants to
     Celltrion that:

     (a)  the Licensed Patent Rights and Licensed  Knowhow,  taken together with
          the  intellectual  property  rights to be licensed and  transferred to
          Celltrion  pursuant to a certain License Agreement between the Parties
          of even date herewith,  are suitable and adequate to  manufacture  the
          Vaccine at the scale currently produced by Genentech;

     (b)  no license of additional intellectual property from any third party is
          necessary in

<PAGE>

          order to  manufacture  the  Vaccine as  contemplated  in that  certain
          Supply Agreement (the "Supply  Agreement") between the Parties of even
          date herewith; and

     (c)  to the best of  VaxGen's  knowledge,  manufacture  of the  Vaccine  as
          contemplated  in the  Supply  Agreement  will  not  infringe  upon the
          intellectual property rights of any third party.

Article 8. Liability

8.1  Limitation  of  Liability.  Neither  Party shall be liable to the other for
     indirect,  incidental,  special or consequential  damages arising out of or
     resulting  from any term or condition of this  Agreement or with respect to
     their performance or lack thereof.

8.2  Indemnification  by Celltrion.  Celltrion shall indemnify,  defend and hold
     harmless  VaxGen  and  its  directors,   officers,  employees,  agents  and
     affiliates from and against all costs, claims, suits, liabilities, expenses
     (including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees)  and  damages  arising  out of or
     resulting from the manufacture by Celltrion of any Licensed Product, except
     to the  extent  that such cost,  claim,  suit,  expense or damage  arose or
     resulted  from  any  willful  or  negligent  act  or  omission  by  VaxGen.
     Celltrion's indemnification obligations hereunder shall be conditioned upon
     VaxGen:  (i) giving  reasonable  notice to  Celltrion  of any such claim or
     action,  (ii)  tendering  the defense of such claim or action to Celltrion,
     (iii)   reasonably   assisting   Celltrion  (at  Celltrion's   expense)  in

     Celltrion  or  its  sub-licensees.   VaxGen's  indemnification  obligations

     to VaxGen of any such claim or action;  (ii)  tendering the defense of such
     claim or action to VaxGen;  (iii) reasonably  assisting VaxGen (at VaxGen's

     consent.

8.4  Insurance.  Without  limiting any  indemnification  obligations  under this
     Agreement, Celltrion shall obtain and maintain on an on-going basis for the
     time period  specified  hereinbelow  comprehensive  general  liability  and
     products liability insurance (including  contractual  liability coverage of
     Celltrion's indemnification obligations under this Agreement) in the amount

     insured,  shall  state  that it is  primary  to any valid  and  collectible
     insurance  available  to VaxGen  which also  covers the same loss for which
     Celltrion  has  liability  pursuant  to  the  Agreement,  shall  contain  a
     cross-liability  or severability of interest  clause,  and shall state that

     during  the term of this  Agreement  and for a period  of at least 10 years
     after the  expiration  or  termination  of this  Agreement.  Celltrion  may
     satisfy  its  obligation  to provide  evidence of such  required  insurance
     coverage by providing VaxGen with complete copies of the insurance policies
     themselves  or  certificates   from  its  insurance  company  or  companies
     evidencing the coverage required hereunder.

Article 9. Term and Termination

9.1  Term.  This  Agreement  shall  commence on the Effective  Date and,  unless
     earlier terminated in accordance  herewith,  shall expire 15 years from the
     date of first commercial sale of a Licensed Product manufactured hereunder.

9.2  Termination for Default.  Failure by either Party to comply with any of its
     material  obligations  set  forth  in  this  Agreement  shall  entitle  the
     non-defaulting  Party to give the defaulting Party a notice  specifying the
     nature of the default and requiring the  defaulting  Party to make good its
     default. If such default is not cured within 30 days after such notice, the
     non-defaulting  Party shall be  entitled,  without  prejudice to any of its
     other rights  under this  Agreement or available to it at law or in equity,
     to terminate this  Agreement  effective upon a notice of termination to the
     defaulting Party.

9.3  Termination for Insolvency or Bankruptcy.  Either Party may, in addition to
     any other  remedies  available  to it by law or in equity,  terminate  this
     Agreement,  in whole or in part as the terminating Party may determine,  by
     notice to the other  Party in the event the other  Party  shall have become
     insolvent or bankrupt,  or shall have made an assignment for the benefit of
     its creditors,  or there shall have been appointed a trustee or receiver of
     the other Party or for all or a substantial part of its property,  or there
     shall have been issued a warrant of  attachment,  execution,  distraint  or
     similar process  against any substantial  part

<PAGE>

     of the property of the other Party,  or any case or  proceeding  shall have
     been  commenced  or other  action  taken by or against  the other  Party in
     bankruptcy or seeking reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up,
     arrangement,  composition or  readjustment of its debts or any other relief
     under any bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization  or other similar act or
     law of any  jurisdiction  now or hereafter in effect,  provided that in any
     such case such event shall have continued for 60 days undismissed, unbonded
     and  undischarged.  Furthermore,  all rights and licenses  granted under to
     this  Agreement  are, and shall  otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of
     Section 365 (n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to "intellectual
     property" as defined under Section  91(56) of the United States  Bankruptcy
     Code.  The  Parties  agree  that  in the  event  of the  commencement  of a
     bankruptcy  proceeding  by or against  one Party  under the  United  States
     Bankruptcy  Code,  the other Party shall be entitled to complete  access to
     any such  intellectual  property,  and all embodiments of such intellectual
     property, pertaining to the rights granted in the licenses hereunder of the
     Party by or against whom a bankruptcy proceeding has been commenced.

     notice to VaxGen.

10.2 Governing  Law.  This  Agreement  shall be  governed  by and  construed  in
     accordance with the laws of the State of California  (other than its choice
     of law principles).

10.3 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement is the entire agreement and understanding
     between the Parties with respect to the Licensed Patent Rights and Licensed
     Knowhow,  and  supersedes  and  cancels  any  and all  prior  negotiations,
     correspondence,  understandings  and  agreements,  whether written or oral,
     between the Parties  respecting  the  Licensed  Patent  Rights and Licensed
     Knowhow.  No amendment or other  modification  of this  Agreement  shall be
     binding  on  either  Party  unless  reduced  to  writing  and  signed by an
     authorized officer of each Party.

10.4 Binding Effect and  Assignment.  This  Agreement  shall be binding upon and
     inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their  respective  permitted
     successors  and  assigns,  subject to the  remainder  of this  Section This
     Agreement  shall  not be  assignable  by  either  Party in whole or in part
     without the other Party's prior consent in its sole discretion, except that
     either  Party may assign  this  Agreement  in whole or in part  without the
     other  Party's  consent  in  connection  with  any  consolidation,  merger,
     redemption,  put or sale of stock,  conveyance of substantially  all of the
     assigning Party's assets.

10.5 Dispute  Resolution.  In the  event of any  dispute,  controversy  or claim
     arising  out of or  relating to this  Agreement,  the Parties  shall try to
     settle it  amicably  between  themselves  including  first  referring  such
     dispute, controversy or claim to a member of each Party's

<PAGE>

     Board of Directors for  resolution.  If the Parties are unable to so settle
     such dispute, controversy or claim within 30 days after such referral, then
     either  Party  may,  by  notice to the  other,  have it  referred  to their
     respective chief executive officers for attempted  resolution by good faith
     negotiations  within  30 days  after  such  notice.  In the event the chief
     executive officers are not able to resolve it, either Party may at any time
     after the 30-day period invoke the  arbitration  provisions of this Section
     10.5.

     All arbitration  proceedings  shall be conducted under the procedural rules
     of the American Arbitration Association,  in English.  Proceedings shall be
     in San Francisco, California if brought by Celltrion and in Seoul, Korea if
     brought by VaxGen.  The Party requesting  arbitration  shall serve upon the
     other  Party  a  demand  for  arbitration  stating  the  substance  of  the
     controversy,  dispute or claim,  and the contention of the Party requesting
     arbitration. Within 30 days after the demand, the Parties shall each select
     one arbitrator, which arbitrators shall together select a third arbitrator.
     The three  arbitrators are to act as neutral  arbitrators and shall have no
     past,  present or  anticipated  future  affiliation  with the Parties which
     would unduly influence the  independence of an arbitrator.  The decision of
     the arbitrators shall be in writing setting forth the basis therefore.

     The  arbitrators  shall have the authority to award  compensatory  damages,
     interest,  tort damages (but not punitive or similar  damages) and specific
     performance  and other  equitable  relief.  The Parties  shall abide by the
     award  rendered  in such  arbitration  proceeding,  and such  award  may be
     enforced and executed upon in any court having  jurisdiction over the Party
     against whom  enforcement of such award is sought.  During such arbitration
     proceedings,  each Party shall pay its  arbitrators'  fees,  administration
     charges  and  related  expenses  of  arbitration.  The losing  Party  shall
     thereafter  reimburse the  prevailing  Party for all such costs incurred in
     connection with such arbitration.

10.6 Waiver. The waiver by either Party of any breach of or default under any of
     the  provisions of this Agreement or the failure of either Party to enforce
     any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right thereunder
     shall not be  construed  as a waiver of any other  breach or  default  or a
     waiver of any such rights or provisions hereunder.

10.7 Severability.  If any part of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal
     or unenforceable by any court of authority  having  jurisdiction  over this
     Agreement  or either  Party,  such part  shall be  ineffective  only to the
     extent of such  invalidity,  illegality or  unenforceability,  and shall be
     validly reformed by addition or deletion of wording as appropriate to avoid
     such  result  and as  nearly  as  possible  approximate  the  intent of the
     Parties. If unreformable,  this Agreement shall be divisible and deleted in
     such jurisdiction, but elsewhere shall not be affected.

10.8 Publicity.  Celltrion and VaxGen shall  consult and obtain  mutual  consent
     before  making any  public  announcement  concerning  this  Agreement,  the
     subject  matter  hereof  or use of  the  other  Party's  name,  except  for
     information  that is already  in the  public  domain or where the nature of
     such information has been previously approved for disclosure.

<PAGE>

10.9  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
      each of which shall be deemed an  original  for all  purposes,  but all of
      which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.10 No Other Rights. No rights or licenses, express or implied, are granted to
      Celltrion  by  this  Agreement  to use in any  manner  any  trade  name or
      trademark of VaxGen,  or any other  intellectual  property  not  expressly
      covered by this Agreement.

10.11 Force  Majeure.  Neither  Party  shall be  liable to the other for loss or
      damages or shall have any right to  terminate  this  Agreement  (except as
      otherwise  provided  in this  Agreement)  for any  default or delay of the
      other Party in its  performance  under this Agreement that is attributable
      to an act of God, flood, fire, explosion,  strike, lockout, labor dispute,
      casualty or accident,  war,  revolution,  civil  commotion,  act of public
      enemies,  blockage  or  embargo,  injunction,  law,  order,  proclamation,
      regulation,   ordinance,  demand  or  requirement  of  any  government  or
      subdivision,  authority or representative  of any such government,  or any
      other cause beyond the reasonable  control of the affected  Party,  if the
      Party  affected  shall give  prompt  notice of any such cause to the other
      Party.  The Party giving such notice shall  thereupon be excused from such
      of its  obligations  hereunder  for  the  period  of  time  that  it is so
      disabled.

10.12 Headings. Headings are for the convenience of reference only and shall not
      control the  construction  or  interpretation  of any of the provisions of
      this Agreement.

10.13 No  Partnership.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be deemed
      to constitute a partnership, agency,  employer-employee,  or joint venture
      relationship  between the Parties.  Neither Party shall incur any debts or
      make any commitments for the other Party.

IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the Parties  each have caused  this  Agreement  to be duly
executed by its duly authorized representative as of the date set forth above.

AIDSVAX(TM) is the tradename for a line of vaccine products based on recombinant
glycoprotein  120  (rgp120/HIV-1)  derived from the HIV-1 virus.  Two  vaccines,
AIDSVAX(TM)  B/B and  AIDSVAX(TM)  B/E,  are in  currently  in  active  clinical
development for the prevention of HIV-1 infection.

AIDSVAX(TM)  B/B  is  a  bivalent  recombinant   DNA-derived   glycoprotein  120
(rgp120/HIV-1)   vaccine  containing  MN  rgp120/HIV-1  and  GNE8  rgp120/HIV-1.
MN-rgp120/HIV-1  antigen and GNE8 rgp120/HIV-1  antigens are representative of B
subtypes of HIV-1.

AIDSVAX(TM)  B/E  is  a  bivalent  recombinant   DNA-derived   glycoprotein  120
(rgp120/HIV-1)   vaccine  containing  MN  rgp120/HIV-1  and  A244  rgp120/HIV-1.
MN-rgp120/HIV-1  antigen  is  representative  of B  subtypes  of HIV-1  and A244
rgp120/HIV-1 is representative of the E subtype of HIV-1.
