(b) The execution of any agreement to satisfy delinquent business license taxes by means of installment payments and/or deferral shall not prevent the accrual of penalties and interest as applicable on the unpaid balance as provided under the terms of this chapter. However, such additional penalties as may accrue and the interest on such penalties shall not be applied after the execution of such agreement and the payment of the first installment and during such time as such person shall not be in breach of the agreement. Upon the timely payment of the final installment of the agreement such additional penalties and the interest thereon as may have accrued shall be waived. In any agreement so entered into, such person shall acknowledge the obligation owed the city and agree that, in the event of failure to make timely payment of any installment, the whole amount unpaid, principal together with accrued penalties and interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable. In the event such person fails within a period of thirty (30) days thereafter to render payment in full, such person's current business license may be revoked by the collector. In the event legal action is brought by the city to enforce collection of any amount included in the agreement, such person shall pay all costs of suit incurred by the city or its assignee, including attorney fees. The execution of such an agreement shall render any subsequent appeal null and void and shall constitute a waiver against future action. Sec. 21-93.1.
