This is all just an assumption, but its standard practice to have the defaulting penalty as part of the contract. Theoretically could be anything, but given the circumstance I'd assume a simple fee of cold hard cash.
Shouldn't have hurt his future music career in any way. But who knows how much cash they may have been asking. It's entirely possible that Meat's team dived into a shitty contract WAY too soon.
If you consider that they may have had a 100 million dollar penalty looming over their heads, suddenly becoming involved in a 50 million dollar law suit with Jim, claiming that Meat wrote some of the lyrics of Bat2, looks like the SENSIBLE thing to do.
