The unitarity condition unambigously requires the Orear region to appear in between the diffraction cone at low transferred momenta and hard parton scattering regime at high transferred momenta in hadron elastic scattering. It originates from rescattering of the diffraction cone processes. It is shown that such region has been observed in the differential cross section of the elastic pp-scattering at sqrt s=7 TeV. The Orear region is described by exponential decrease with the scattering angle and imposed on it damped oscillations. They explain the steepening at the end of the diffraction cone as well as the dip and the subsequent maximum observed in TOTEM data. The failure of several models to describe the data in this region can be understood as improper account of the unitarity condition. It is shown that the real part of the amplitude can be as large as the imaginary part in this region. The overlap function is calculated and shown to be small outside the diffraction peak. Its negative sign there indicates the important role of phases in the amplitudes of inelastic processes.
