Since the purchases/sales are predetermined, this protects the insiders from violating insider trading law.
Transaction was made pursuant to a contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of equity securities of the issuer that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c).
