Deed mentions consideration?

    Hi

    I know a contract by deed doesn't require consideration.

    Here we have a deed of pledge that opens with
    In consideration for the Company entering into the Primary Contract, Y pledges as security for X's obligations to the Company [goods pledged]

    My question is:
    Would the contract fail for lack of consideration even though it's a deed - because consideration is mentioned?

    Or does the reference to consideration just drop out, because a deed doesn't require it?

    Thanks.
