A cause of action for breach of contract.

The essential elements of a breach of contract cause of action are the existence of a contract, the plaintiff's performance under the contract, the defendant's breach of that contract, and resulting damages. Here, the plaintiff was not a party to, or intended beneficiary of, the escrow agreement, and, therefore, cannot recover for its alleged breach.
