	17.9		A waiver by any party or parties of any breach of any of the terms, provisions, conditions or covenants of this Agreement or the acquiescence of any party or parties in any act (whether commission or omission) which but for acquiescence would be a breach, will not constitute a general waiver of the term, provision, condition or covenant or of any subsequent act which is inconsistent with it.

	1.9		Subscriber is aware that an investment in the Placing ADSs is highly speculative and subject to substantial risks because, among other things, none of the Placing ADSs or the Underlying Shares has been registered under the Securities Act and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available;

UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IS EFFECTIVE WITH RESPECT TO THESE SECURITIES, AS A CONDITION TO PERMITTING ANY TRANSFER OR WITHDRAWAL OF THESE SECURITIES, EACH OF THE DEPOSITARY AND THE COMPANY MAY REQUIRE THAT IT BE FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE DEPOSITARY AND THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT NO REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION IS LEGALLY REQUIRED FOR SUCH TRANSFER OR WITHDRAWAL.

	1.2.		24 months following Completion in respect of any Elan Warranty Claim other than a Tax Warranty Claim or any Elan Warranty Claim in respect of the Elan Warranty set out at paragraph 1.26 of Part 1 of Schedule 1.

2. Maximum and Minimum Claims: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

	2.1.		Elan Aggregate Minimum Claims: Elan shall not have any liability (a) under clause 8.3 for any Warranty Claim unless and until the aggregate amount of all Elan Warranty Claims under clause 8.3 exceeds US$50 million; provided, that in determining such amount, only claims in excess of US$200,000 shall be considered, or (b) under clause 8.4 for any Losses unless and until the amount of such Losses, individually or in the aggregate, exceeds US$3,500,000, and in each case, Elan shall be liable for all such Elan Warranty Claims or Losses only in excess of such amounts;
	2.2.		Elan Maximum Aggregate Liability: Elan shall not have any liability under this Agreement to the extent that the aggregate liability of Elan for all claims (including Elan Warranty Claims) would exceed the aggregate of the Elan Placing ADSs Subscription Amount and the Keavy Subscription Amount;
	2.3.		Subscriber Aggregate Minimum Claims: Subscriber shall not have any liability under clause 8.6 for any Losses unless and until the amount of such Losses, individually or in the aggregate, exceeds US$3,500,000, and in each case, Subscriber shall be liable for all such Subscriber Warranty Claims or Losses only in excess of such amount.

4.		Retrospective Changes in Law: Elan will not be liable in respect of any claim under this Agreement, including an Elan Warranty Claim to the extent that it arises or is increased or extended as a result of a change in Applicable Law or the interpretation or enforcement thereof with retrospective effect.

38

6.		Damages Only: Save as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any breach of this Agreement by Elan including any breach of the Elan Warranties will give rise only to an action for damages and will not entitle Subscriber to rescind or repudiate this Agreement.
7.		Accounts, Provision or Reserve: Elan will not have any liability under the Elan Warranties in respect of any matter to the extent specifically and accurately provided for in the Financial Information.

Proceedings Issued in Time: Any Elan Warranty Claim, which will have been notified in accordance with clause 8.10 of this Agreement, will (if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) be deemed to have been withdrawn on the expiration of 9 months from the date of the notice unless proceedings in respect thereof will have been both issued and served on Elan before such expiration.
9.		Contingent Liability: Elan will not have any liability under the Elan Warranties to the extent that the loss or liability suffered or incurred by Subscriber is contingent, future or unascertainable and no Elan Warranty Claim may be brought in respect of such loss or liability until such time as Subscriber will have actually suffered the loss or incurred the liability in question. For the avoidance of doubt, Subscriber will not be prevented from making an Elan Warranty Claim in respect of any such contingent, future or unascertainable loss or liability provided that Subscriber has notified the Elan Warranty Claim to Elan within the notification periods set out in paragraph 1 of this Schedule.

Indemnification for Third Party Claims

1.		Subject to the limitations in Schedule 2, Elan agrees to indemnify Subscriber and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (each an indemnified person) against any and all Losses arising directly out of, or directly based upon, any claim or action brought by any person (other than an Affiliate of Subscriber or a party to any of the Transaction Documents) against any indemnified person which claim or action arises out of, or is based upon, a breach of any one or more of the Elan Warranties; provided, however, that in respect of such claim or action giving rise to such Losses the amount of such Losses shall be reduced to the extent attributable to (i) a breach of any one or more of the Subscriber Warranties or (ii) Subscriber’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
2.		Subject to the limitations in Schedule 2, Subscriber agrees to indemnify Elan and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (each an indemnified person) against any and all Losses arising directly out of, or directly based upon, any claim or action brought by any person (other than an Affiliate of Elan or a party to any of the Transaction Documents) against any indemnified person which claim or action arises out of, or is based upon, a breach of any one or more of the Subscriber Warranties; provided, however, that in respect of such claim or action giving rise to such Losses the amount of such Losses shall be reduced to the extent attributable (i) to a breach of any one or more of the Elan Warranties or (ii) Elan’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
3.		Promptly after receipt by an indemnified person of any notice of any claim or action brought against such indemnified person relating to Losses in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to paragraph 1 or 2 of this Schedule 6 (as applicable), such indemnified person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the applicable indemnifying person for indemnification hereunder, notify such indemnifying person in writing of such claim or action; provided, however, that the failure by such indemnified person to notify such indemnifying person shall not relieve such indemnifying person from any liability which such indemnifying person may have to such indemnified person hereunder, except and solely to the extent such indemnifying person is actually prejudiced by such failure. If such indemnified person is seeking indemnification with respect to any such claim or action brought against such indemnified person, then such indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from such indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both indemnified person and indemnifying person are named as defendants, such indemnified person shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) to represent such indemnified person, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such indemnifying person if, based upon the advice of counsel of such indemnified person, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. Such indemnifying person shall not, without the prior written consent of such indemnified person, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such indemnified person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person, unless such judgment or settlement does not include any admission of wrongdoing and includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding. No indemnified person shall settle any claim or action for which it may seek indemnification without the consent of the indemnifying person.
