In the event of a contract penalty becoming due
...we reserve the right to demand payment of a contract penalty until such time amount of invoice has been received in full.
That's how you would say it in US legalese. Contrary to what dictionaries may say, you don't "exact" things from a legal party, you "demand" them. (But you are free to "exact" revenge later on, of course).

I like 'contract' but you find it both ways.
This link says:
(g) Liability for uncompleted or erroneous transfers. (1) If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because the Government failed to use the Contractor-provided EFT information in the correct manner, the Government remains responsible for (i) making a correct payment, (ii) paying any prompt payment penalty due, and (iii) recovering any erroneously directed funds.
But you can find lots more.
