Upon performance of all of the duties of the real estate Broker as stated in the Brokerage Agreement except completing settlement, the Broker shall have the right to place a lien upon commercial real estate that is the subject of the Brokerage Agreement for the unpaid amount of compensation due the Broker as stated in the Brokerage Agreement. The Brokerage Agreement must expressly state:

(1) the amount or the method of calculating the amount of compensat ion for the services of the Broker; and

(2) That the Brokerage Agreement is a binding contract under State law; and
