After three months of negotiation, Fisher's children agreed to ending the perpetual agreement that their father had established. Lincoln Center agreed to induct Fisher into the new Lincoln Center Hall of Fame meant to "celebrate artists, leaders and philanthropists who have played central roles at Lincoln Center". It was further agreed a Fisher family member would serve on the Hall of Fame's advisory board and serve on the Avery Fisher Classical Music Wing selection committee, helping choose inductees into the Wing, which would contain archival materials about Mr. Fisher. The agreement also promised to give a higher profile to the Avery Fisher Artist Program. The agreement also provided Fisher's three children $15 million for acquiescing to the agreement.
