The likely outcome is that some of the protesters will accept the compromise while some will not and thus be forced into making a stand by marching on the Presidential Palace. Thats where the army comes into play putting down the protests by use of force under the pretense of keeping the peace and allowing the "new" government to function.

In the end it will be the same US puppet regime in power with perhaps a few minor concessions to keep the Egyptian people at bay.
