Failure to comply with reporting requirements set forth in such agreement shall constitute a default. If the recipient fails to come into compliance with such agreement within the one-hundred-eighty-day period, the awarding authority may (1) rescind the agreement and require that the state be made whole by the repayment by the recipient of (A) the amount of any grant made, (B) the amount of any loan outstanding, including any interest necessary to make the state whole, or (C) the amount of any tax benefit received, or (2) impose a penalty on such recipient, for the period of failure to comply, at the rate of one per cent per month or any part thereof of the amount of the grant, tax benefit or loan outstanding.

or (2) impose a penalty on such recipient, for the period of failure to comply, at the rate of one per cent per month or any part thereof of the amount of the grant, tax benefit or loan outstanding. The awarding authority may foreclose on any collateral or bond related to such grant, tax benefit or loan for the purpose of payment of such penalty and any costs incurred by the awarding authority in connection with collection of such penalty.(P.A. 02-86, S. 3.)
