8.4       Third-Party Royalties. If Genentech or Connetics is required to pay any third party a royalty due to the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of a Licensed Product in the Territory for or by Connetics or its sublicensees, Connetics shall be responsible for the payment of […***…] of such third-party royalty, provided however, that Connetics may deduct from the royalties payable to Genentech under Section 8.3 above […***…] of such third party royalties incurred only due to use patents in the Field of Use in the Territory, up to a maximum total deduction of […***…] percentage points from the royalties payable by Connetics to Genentech under Section 8.3. For purposes of clarification, such deductions shall not apply to any benchmark payment under the […***…] License made by Connetics pursuant to Section 5.2(c) above. Attached hereto as Exhibit G is a list of all such royalty obligations to third parties known to Genentech as of the Effective Date without diligent search. No later than thirty (30) days from the Effective Date, Genentech shall complete a reasonable internal investigation of its records and update Exhibit G, as necessary, to accurately reflect all such royalty obligations to third parties to the best of Genentech’s knowledge; provided however, Connetics acknowledges that Genentech has no obligation to conduct due diligence or any investigation with respect to third party patent rights related to Licensed Products.
