Aaron could be awarded the difference between his original contract and his new earnings for the remaining two years of his original contract. The difference is $85,000 per year for two years, totaling $170,000. Additionally, he could be awarded the full amount for the six months he was unemployed, which is $87,500. Therefore, the total damages could be $170,000 + $87,500 = $257,500, which is closest to $260,000.
