The Company’s Chief Executive Officer also agreed to purchase $85,000 worth of the Company’s common stock at prices not to exceed $0.175 per share within twelve months following the date of the Agreement, with at least $15,000 of those purchases being made in the period commencing on the first day after the date of this Agreement that he is permitted under applicable law, and under applicable Company policies (including the Company’s Insider Trading and Public Communications Policy), to make open market purchases of the Company’s Common Stock, and ending on December 15, 2014.
