1 hr confidence:

le contrat initial en vigueur

Explanation:
front peut se traduire par premier ou antérieur
selon le contexte donné, je privilégie premier qui devient initial ...

Premier, d'origine ou initial : un choix de traduction mais qui ne change pas la signification.

active est curieux et je pense qu'être en vigueur, bien que plutôt employé pour les législations peut être repris ici : un contrat a force de loi entre les parties.
