(g) Each Investor agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 33 Act) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission furnished by such Investor in writing to the Company for use therein or such Investor's failure to provide the prospective purchaser with a copy of the current prospectus, which forms a part of the Registration Statement.
