The current term of the Original Agreement ends on December 31, 2015, and the Original Agreement will automatically renew for an additional one year term unless a party provides the other party with notice of non-renewal at least 90 days before the expiration of the current term.
The parties are currently negotiating a new agreement, and to ensure the Original Agreement does not renew with its current terms, the parties are entering into this Agreement to terminate the Original Agreement at the end of its current term on December 31, 2015.

Survival of Certain Obligations. Neither party waives, and each party hereby reserves, the rights it has against the other party pursuant to the Original Agreement.
3.
