Any such agreement executed by such an organization and any recipient of loan, grant assistance or recommendation may contain a provision for liquidated damages to be paid for any breach of any provision of the agreement, or any commitment contained therein, together with attorney's fees and costs for the enforcement thereof. Any such covenant shall be valid and enforceable in the courts of this State as liquidated damages and shall not be considered a penalty, provided that such provision for liquidated damages does not exceed $2,500 for each year remaining for the performance of such agreement. This Section shall not be construed as pertaining to or limiting any liquidated damages resulting from scholarships awarded under the Underserved Health Care Provider Workforce Act.
