Section 3.1                                    Representations and Warranties of the Company.  In connection with the transactions provided for herein, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as of the date hereof and as of Closing:

 

(a)                                 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification.  The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a public company limited by shares in current good standing under the Laws of Mauritius.  Each of the Historical Subsidiary and each member of the Ibibo Group has been duly incorporated, is validly existing as a corporation, and in the case of MakeMyTrip.com Inc., is in good standing, under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of incorporation.  The Company, the Historical Subsidiary and each member of the Ibibo Group has the requisite corporate power and authority to own or lease all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, and is duly qualified to transact business and, in the case of the Company and MakeMyTrip.com Inc., is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in current good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b)                                 Authorization.  The Company has all requisite corporate power to enter into the Transaction Agreements and to carry out and perform its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements by the Company have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.  Each of the Transaction Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity, whether applied in a court of Law or a court of equity, and by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar Law affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally.  No approval by the shareholders of the Company is required in connection with the Transaction Agreements, the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby.
