三、IN CONSIDERATION OF 以……为约因/报酬
约因是英美法系的合同有效成立要件之一，没有则合同不能依法强制履行。但是，大陆法系的合同则无此规定。
Now Therefore, in consideration of the premises and the covenants herein， contained, the parties hereto agree as follows：
兹以上述各点和契约所载条款为约因，订约双方协议如下：
In consideration of the payment to be made by Party A to Party B, Party B hereby covenants with Party A to complete the building in conformity with the provisions of the Contract.
乙方特此立约向甲方保证按合同规定完成工程建设，以取得甲方所付的报酬。
四、NOW，THEREFORE 兹特
此短语用于WHEREAS条款之后引出详细协议事项的常用开头语，并与其后hereby的结合。如果无HEREAS条款，则本短语可省略：
NOW, THEREFORE, it's hereby agreed and understood as follows;
兹特协议和谅解如下：
NOW THESE PRESENTS WITNESS 兹特立约为据，本句话也是用于WHEREAS条款之后引出详细协议事项。
五、PRESENTS = the present writings 是主语，WITNESS是谓语：
NOW THESE PRESENTS WITNESS that it is hereby agreed between the parties hereto as follows：兹特立约为据，并由订约双方协议如下：
六、IN THE PRESENCE OF 见证人
本短语只在有见证人时运用—在订约双方当事人签名的下方由见证人签名作证，一般是相关的律师(Attorney)或公证处(Notary Public)：
IN THE PRESENCE OF the parties hereto have hereunder set their respective hands and seals：
作为协议事项的证据，订约双方各自签名盖章如下：
