Based on the DBI action for the four coincident non-BPS D9-branes in the type IIA string theory we demonstrate that the gauge symmetry breaking through the tachyon condensation into the generalized monopole of codimension five produces a pair of two coincident BPS D4-branes. The nontrivial gauge field configuration is studied and shown to yield the non-zero generalized magnetic charge. We discuss how this explicit demonstration is related with the higher K-theory group.
