                  agency letterhead so that

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

ARTICLE H.1. REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS FOR INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS

The primary purpose of the Public Health Service (PHS) is to support and
advance independent research within the scientific community. This support is
provided in the form of contracts and grants totaling approximately 7 billion
dollars annually. PHS has established effective, time tested and well
recognized procedures for stimulating and supporting this independent
RESEARCH by selecting from multitudes of applications those research projects
most worthy of support within the constraints of its appropriations. The
reimbursement through the indirect cost mechanism of independent research and
development costs not incidental to product improvement would circumvent this
competitive process.

To ensure that all research and development projects receive similar and
equal consideration, all organizations may compete for direct funding of
independent research and development projects they consider worthy of support
by submitting those projects to the appropriate Public Health Service grant
office for review. Since these projects may be submitted for direct funding,
the Contractor agrees that no costs for any independent research and
development project, including all applicable indirect costs, will be claimed
under this contract.

ARTICLE H.2.  HUMAN SUBJECTS

It is hereby understood and agreed that research involving human subjects
shall not be conducted under this contract, and that no material developed,
modified, or delivered by or to the Government under this contract, or any
subsequent modification of such material, will be used by the Contractor or
made available by the Contractor for use by anyone other than the Government,
for experimental or therapeutic use involving humans without the prior
written approval of the Contracting Officer.

ARTICLE H.3. CONTINUED BAN ON FUNDING OF HUMAN EMBRYO RESEARCH

a.    Pursuant to Public Law(s) cited in paragraph b. , below, NIH is prohibited
      from using appropriated funds to support human embryo research. Contract
      funds may not be used for (1) the creation of a human embryo or embryos
      for research purposes; or (2) research in which a human embryo or embryos
      are destroyed, discarded, or knowingly

                                       14
<PAGE>

      subjected to risk of injury or death greater than that allowed for
      research on fetuses in utero under 45 CFR 46.208(a)(2) and Section 498(b)
      of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 289g(b)). The term "human
      embryo or embryos" includes any organism, not protected as a human
      subject under 45 CFR 46 as of the date of the enactment of this Act,
      that is derived by fertilization, parthenogenesis, cloning, or any
      other means from one or more human gametes or human diploid cells.

     Additionally, in accordance with a March 4, 1997 Presidential Memorandum,
     Federal funds may not be used for cloning of human beings.

FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION (FAR)(48 CFR CHAPTER 1) CLAUSES:

a.    FAR CLAUSE 52.225-9, TRADE AGREEMENTS ACT (DEVIATION)

      (a)   This clause implements the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (19 U.S.C.
            2501-2582) by providing a preference for U.S. made end products,
            North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) country end products,
            designated country end products, and Caribbean Basin country end
            products over other products.

            "CARIBBEAN BASIN COUNTRY END PRODUCTS," as used in this clause,
            means an article that: (1) is wholly the growth, product, or
            manufacture of a Caribbean Basin country (as defined in section
            25.401 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), or (2) in the
            case of an article which consists in whole or in part of materials
            from another country or instrumentality, has been substantially
            transformed into a new and different article of commerce with a
            name, character, or use distinct from that of the article or
            articles from which it was so transformed. The term refers to a
            product, offered for purchase under a supply contract, but for
            purposes of calculating the value of the end product includes
            services (except transportation services) incidental to its supply;
            provided that the value of those incidental services does not exceed
            that of the product itself. The term excludes products that are
            excluded from duty-free treatment for Caribbean countries under the
            Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (19 U.S.C. 2703(b)). These
            exclusions presently consist of (I) textiles and apparel articles
            that are subject to textile agreements; (ii) footwear, handbags,
            luggage, flat goods, work gloves, and leather wearing apparel not
            designated as eligible articles for the purpose of the Generalized
            System of Preferences under title V of the Trade Act of 1974; (iii)
            tuna, prepared or preserved in any manner in airtight containers;
            (iv) petroleum; and (v) watches and watch parts (including cases,
            bracelets and straps) of whatever type including, but not limited
            to, mechanical, quartz digital or quartz analog, if such watches or
            watch parts contain any material that is the product of any country
            to which the Tariff Schedule of the United States (TSUS) column 2
            rates of duty apply.

            "DESIGNATED COUNTRY END PRODUCT," as used in this clause, means an
            article that (1) is wholly the growth, product, or manufacture of
            the designated country (as defined in section 25.401 of the Federal
            Acquisition Regulation (FAR), or (2) in the case of an article which
            consists in whole or in part of materials from another country or
            instrumentality, has been substantially transformed into a new and
            different article of commerce with a name, character, or use
            distinct from that of the article or articles from which it was so
            transformed. The term refers to a product offered for purchase under
            a supply contract, but for purposes of calculating the value of the
            end product includes services (except transportation services)
            incidental to its supply; provided that the value of those
            incidental services does not exceed that of the product itself.

            "ELIGIBLE PRODUCT," as used in this clause, means a designated,
            North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), or Caribbean Basin
            country end product.

                                BBI - BIOTECH RESEARCH LABORATORIES, INC.

            "END PRODUCTS," as used in this clause, means those articles,
            materials, and supplies to be acquired under this contract for

            whole or in part of materials from another country or
            instrumentality, has been substantially transformed in a NAFTA
            country into a new and different article of commerce with a name,
            character, or use distinct from that of the article or articles from
            which it was transformed. The term refers to a product offered for
            purchase under a supply contract, but for purposes of calculating
            the value of the end product includes services (except
            transportation services) incidental to its supply; provided, that
            the value of those incidental services does not exceed that of the
            product itself.

            "U.S. MADE END PRODUCT" as used in this clause, means an article
            which (1) is wholly the growth, product or manufacture of the United
            States, or (2) in the case of an article which consists in whole or
            in part of materials from another country or instrumentality, has
            been substantially transformed in the United States into a new and
            different article of commerce with a name, character, or use
            distinct from that of the article or articles from which it was so
            transformed.

            "NONDESIGNATED COUNTRY END PRODUCTS," as used in this clause, means
            any end product which is not a U.S. made end product or a designated
            country end product.

            "UNITED STATES," as used in this clause, means the United States,
            its possessions, Puerto Rico, and any other place which is subject
            to its jurisdiction, but does not include leased bases or trust
            territories.

      (b)   The Contractor agrees to deliver under this contract only U.S. made
            end products, designated country end products, Caribbean Basin
            country end products, or, if a national interest waiver is granted
            under section 302 of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979, nondesignated
            country end products. Only if such waiver is granted may a
            nondesignated country end product be delivered under this contract.

      (c)   Offers will be evaluated in accordance with the policies and
            procedures of Part 25 of the FAR except that offers of U.S. made end
            products shall be evaluated without the restrictions of the Buy
            American Act or Balance of Payments Program.

terms of this contract to perform the work set forth below.

In general, the Contractor shall: (1) secure, receive, catalog, process,
store, and disburse clinical specimens from human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV)-infected patients, cohort participants, recipients of candidate HIV
vaccines and other biomedical interventions in studies sponsored by the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Division of
AIDS (DAIDS); (2) provide a computerized specimen inventory management system
in a format identified and approved by DAIDS; (3) provide adequate
cold-storage facilities for clinical specimens, and provide experienced
professional personnel (formally trained in dangerous goods biosafety) to
support specimen handling and repository management; (4) provide labeling and
shipping procedure training and oversight to study sites; (5) report progress
to the Project Officer and provide specimen availability summaries as
requested by the Project Officer; (6) complete the development and the
execution of a DAIDS Repository Management Plan which may include, but is not
limited to: systematic effort to discard identified specimens with low
research potential, reduce the numbers of duplicate specimens, discard
specimens with missing key clinical data, and/or expand the freezer capacity
of the repository as requested by the Project Officer; and (7) ensure an
orderly and safe transition of the Repository from the incumbent Contractor,
and to a successor contractor, if necessary. Transition to a successor
contractor shall include all Repository data including all source codes.

      DAIDS studies: MACS, WITS, WIHS, HIVNET, AACTG, PACTG, AVEG, DATRI, and
      maintains specimens from other completed DAIDS studies such as the Jump
      Start Project, the HATS, and the San Francisco Men's Health Study. These
      specimens may include, but are not limited to, peripheral blood
      mononuclear cells, serum, plasma, tissue specimens, and other bodily
      fluids or substances such as cervical-vaginal lavage (CVL), breast milk,
      semen, saliva, urine, feces, mucosal, autopsy and biopsy materials, and
      specimen spots dried on filter paper.

Column H--Variance (Over or Under) - Show the difference between the
estimated costs at completion (Column F) and negotiated costs (Column G) when
entries have been made in Column F. This column need not be filled in when
Column F is blank. When a line item varies by plus or minus 10 percent, i.e.,
the percentage arrived at by dividing Column F by Column G, an explanation of
the variance should be submitted. In the case of an overrun (net negative
variance), this submission shall not be deemed as notice under the Limitation
of Cost (Funds) Clause of the contract.

Modifications: Any modification in the amount negotiated for an item since
the preceding report should be listed in the appropriate cost category.

Expenditures Not Negotiated: An expenditure for an item for which no amount
was negotiated (e.g., at the discretion of the contractor in performance of
its contract) should be listed in the appropriate cost category and all
columns filled in, except for G. Column H will of course show a 100 percent
variance and will be explained along with those identified under H above.

(a)   To help ensure the protection of the life and health of all persons, and
      to help prevent damage to property, the Contractor shall comply with all
      Federal, State and local laws and regulations applicable to the work being
      performed under this contract. These laws are implemented and/or enforced
      by the Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health
      Administration and other agencies at the Federal, State and local levels
      (Federal, State and local regulatory/enforcement agencies).

(b)   Further, the Contractor shall take or cause to be taken additional safety
      measures as the Contracting Officer in conjunction with the project or
      other appropriate officer, determines to be reasonably necessary. If
      compliance with these additional safety measures results in an increase or
      decrease in the cost or time required for performance of any part of work
      under this contract, an equitable adjustment will be made in accordance
      with the applicable "Changes" Clause set forth in this contract.

(c)   The Contractor shall maintain an accurate record of, and promptly report
      to the Contracting Officer, all accidents or incidents resulting in the
      exposure of persons to toxic substances, hazardous materials or hazardous
      operations; the injury or death of any person; and/or damage to property
      incidental to work performed under the contract AND all violations for
      which the Contractor has been cited by any Federal, State or local
      regulatory/enforcement agency. The report shall include a copy of the
      notice of violation and the findings of any inquiry or inspection, and an
      analysis addressing the impact these violations may have on the work
      remaining to be performed. The report shall also state the required
      action(s), if any, to be taken to correct any violation(s) noted by the
      Federal, State or local regulatory/enforcement agency and the time frame
      allowed by the agency to accomplish the necessary corrective action.

(d)   If the Contractor fails or refuses to comply promptly with the Federal,
      State or local regulatory/enforcement agency's directive(s) regarding any
      violation(s) and prescribed corrective action(s), the Contracting Officer
      may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory
      corrective action (as approved by the Federal, State or local
      regulatory/enforcement agencies) has been taken and documented to the
      Contracting Officer. No part of the time lost due to any stop work order
      shall be subject to a claim for extension of time or costs or damages by
      the Contractor.

(e)   The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause in each
      subcontract involving toxic substances, hazardous materials, or
      operations. Compliance with the provisions of this clause by
      subcontractors will be the responsibility of the Contractor.
