2. Willfulness or recklessness of the violation.
3. Actual or threatened damage to sellers or depositors.
4. Actual or potential costs incurred by the department in discovering and responding to the violation.
5. Remedial or corrective action taken by the licensee.
6. Previous history of noncompliance by the licensee.
