The commissioner may reduce or waive payment of interest and penalties otherwise applicable to such subse- quent unaudited periods when such amounts due as a result of such agree- ment, other than reduced or waived penalties and interest, are paid in full to the commissioner or the commissioner's designee within sixty days of execution of such agreement by all parties to the agreement. Any payments made pursuant to agreements entered into in accordance with this paragraph shall be deemed to be in full satisfaction of any liabil- ity arising under this section and section twenty-eight hundred seven-s of this article, as referenced in such agreements and for the time peri- ods covered by such agreements, provided, however, that the commissioner may audit future retroactive adjustments to payments made for such peri- ods based on reports filed by providers and payors subsequent to such agreements.
