• “[Liquidated damages] clauses are enforceable provided, at the time the parties enter into the contract, the sum agreed to is a reasonable approximation of the expected loss rather than an unlawful penalty.”
• “Liquidated damages as set forth within a contract compensate a party for difficult-to-prove losses, and serve a particularly useful function when damages as uncertain in nature or amount or are unmeasurable, as is the case in many government contracts.”
