disputed language in a brokerage agreement, all ambiguity must be resolved
against the broker who prepared it; brokerage agreement was, as a matter of law, ambiguous with respect to the issue of whether broker would earn commissions when tenant exercised an option to renew the
lease and therefore broker is not entitled to commissions on rental payments during any renewal term of the
lease; broker not entitled to restitution in quasi-contract because there exists a valid and enforceable written contract governing the particular subject matter in
dispute; dissenting opinion finds that the brokerage agreement is clear with respect to commissions earned and payable and that tenant was obligated to pay a commission to broker at the time the rental payment was due and owing to landlord, including during renewal terms of the
lease.
