(1)

 Merger Consideration.  The merger consideration to be exchanged upon the Closing of the Merger for one hundred percent (100%) of the Fully Diluted common shares of AEGY and for one hundred percent (100%) of the Fully Diluted common shares of SK3 shall be equal to a fixed number (to be determined) of the shares of the common stock of the Surviving Entity (the Merger Consideration).  If less than 100% of the common shares of AEGY or SK3 are exchanged in the Merger for the Merger Consideration, then the total Merger Consideration shall be reduced  proportionately, as hereafter provided.  The total number of shares of the Surviving Entity to be issued at the Effective Time shall be determined and agreed by SK3 and AEGY at or before the filing of the required registration statement for the shares of the Surviving Entity to be registered in the Merger.

(4)

Reduction in Merger Consideration.  In the event that less than 100 percent of the issued and outstanding common shares of either AEGY or SK3 are exchanged for the Merger Consideration, then the AEGY Merger Consideration or the SKTO Merger Consideration, as the case shall be, shall be reduced proportionately in the ratio of the number of common shares of AEGY or SK3 being exchanged in the Merger for the AEGY Merger Consideration or the SKTO Merger Consideration, as the case may be, to the total number of shares of either AEGY or SK3 issued and outstanding on a Fully Diluted basis immediately prior to the Effective Time.

1.9

   SK3 Liabilities, Options and Warrants.  All of the outstanding liabilities of SKTO at closing of the Merger shall be discharged or otherwise paid or resolved, and all options, warrants, conversion rights or privileges of SKTO which entitle the holder to receive shares of the stock of SKTO shall be cancelled or converted into common stock of SKTO prior to the



9

If any such holder of SKTO Common Stock shall have failed to perfect or shall have validly withdrawn such demand or lost such right, each share of SKTO Common Stock of such holder shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration as of the Effective Time. SKTO shall give prompt notice to AEGY of any demands received by SKTO for appraisal of shares of SKTO Common Stock, and AEGY shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. SKTO shall not, except with the prior written consent of AEGY, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands. In the event that more than ten percent (10%) by number of shares of the SKTO Common Shareholders elect to exercise their dissenting rights as provided



10


herein, then this Agreement shall be deemed to be void and of no legal effect and the Merger shall not occur, unless AEGY expressly agrees in writing to proceed with the Merger.


   2.13        No Liability. None of the Parties, the Surviving Corporation, or any employee, officer, director, agent or affiliate of any thereof, shall be liable to any Person or Third Party in respect of any Merger Consideration duly delivered to a public official in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
