OK, I think we have determined that the article is both painful to read and 100% accurate.
In hindsight, was the exclusivity a mistake on IOC's part and could it have been a requirement on XOM's part?
I personally think that this event is a major turning point for the company in that major investors consider this a failure and will move to push for the sale of the company. Just as I was beating the drums a few years ago that the major investors were pushing to oust Phil, I now have some evidence that they are pushing for a buyout.
