TIME. The parties agree that [specify, e.g., time is of the essence or timely performance of this Agreement is important, provided that if a party fails to perform on time, the parties will strive to renegotiate the terms].时间。双方同意[时间是本质或及时履行本协议是很重要的，如果一方不能遵守时间，双方将进行条款重新谈判]。CONDITIONS PERCEDENT. This Agreement is subject to [specify, e.g., the issuance of an import license to the Buyer by the appropriate agency of (country) government and the issuance of an export license to the Seller by the appropriate agency of (country) government].先决条件。此协议服从于 [如：有关（国家）政府给买方颁发的进口许可证和有关（国家）政府给卖方颁发的出口许可证].解释：先决条件（precondition）普遍采用于英文合同版本当中，我国日常合同当中采用的不多。这可能是源于我国合同法并无明确规定先决条件条款，而是采取同时履行抗辩权、不安抗辩权和先履行抗辩权“三国鼎立”，因此实践当中制定先决条件条款的并不多见。其实，先决条件的法律性质含义较广、较灵活，根据它设计的内容不同，既可以单指同时履行抗辩权、不安抗辩权和先履行抗辩权三种权利其中之一，也可能包括了二者或全部。由于先决条件是指仅当特定的条件成就后，合同一方才履行特定行为如交割、付款等。这个条款通常用作保护处于优势地位一方明确己方的权利和对方义务关系时候使用。具体作用有二：一是标准，约定明确的判断标准，作为一方承担义务和另一方行使权利的依据；二是保护，即保护一方当事人尤其是优势方当事人的合同利益，免受另一方拒不履行或迟延履行而带来的损害。相关举例：After?friendly?consultations?conducted?in?accordance?with?the?principles?of?equality?and?mutual?benefit,?the?Parties?have?agreed?to?[describe?subject?matter?of?the?Contract]?in?accordance?with?Applicable?laws?and?the?provisions?of?this?Contract.?双方本着平等互利的原则，经友好协商，依照［相关法律名称］以及其他有关法律，同意按照本合同的条款，［描述合同标的］。?RIGHT TO CANCEL.

The Seller has a right to cancel this Agreement if the Buyer fails [specify, e.g., to make any payment required by this Agreement within (number) days of its due date].
