Note: I am not a lawyer. For a definitive answer, you should contact one.

It's a general principle of "common law" systems that both "sides" of a contract must provide some kind of consideration in order for the contract to be valid. The legal slang for a nominal consideration is a "peppercorn", and it's more or less customary for contracts to contain some kind of verbiage such as "for the sum of one dollar and other good and valuable consideration".

In the US, at least, including "peppercorn" clauses is... essentially... more of a superstition than anything else. Courts can and have found that such clauses do not actually reflect any kind of real "consideration", and that obviously one-sided contracts may in fact be invalid despite a "peppercorn" clause.
