Unless either Party has delivered to the other a written notice of its election not to extend this Agreement pursuant to this Section on or before December 1 of the calendar year during the then current term, the Expiration Date will, without any further action, be automatically extended, effective as of the Expiration Date as then in effect, for an additional one year beyond the Expiration Date as then in effect (each such period, an Extension Term; and the final day of such Extension Term becoming the Expiration Date).
