An analytic computation is given of the generation of Yukawa couplings and of the quark, charged lepton and neutrino masses in the framework of an SO(10) model with a unified Higgs sector consisting of a single pair of vector-spinor $144 + \overline{144}$ of Higgs multiplets. This unified Higgs sector allows for a breaking of SO(10) to the gauge group $SU(3)\times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$ and contains light Higgs doublets allowing for the breaking of the electroweak symmetry. Fermion mass generation in this model typically arises from quartic couplings $16\cdot 16\cdot 144\cdot 144$ and $16\cdot 16\cdot \overline{144}\cdot \overline{144}$. Extending a previous work it is shown that much larger third generation masses can arise for all the fermions from mixing with 45 and 120 matter multiplets via the cubic couplings $16\cdot45\cdot\overline{144}$ and $16\cdot120\cdot144$. Further it is found that values of $\tan\beta$ as low as 10 can allow for a $b-\tau-t$ unification consistent with current data. The quartic and cubic couplings naturally lead to Dirac as well as Majorana neutrino masses necessary for the generation of See Saw neutrino masses.
