LIPEZ, Circuit Judge.
The trial in the district court was about the breach of a franchise agreement and the reasonableness of a liquidated damages clause. The court refused to enforce the liquidated damages clause, deeming it a penalty. We conclude that the court misallocated the burden of proof and lacked an adequate factual basis for its penalty determination. We therefore vacate the judgment and remand for further proceedings.
