<<'m looking for a nice dip to enlarge my MRL position when Exxon makes their statement.>>

From personal experience, I know that Exxon ( affectionately known as double-cross in some circles ) will go over the 700 with a fine tooth comb and try to re-negotiate the price. However, they will come to some kind of a deal with MRL, but I think like you do that the price of MRL will probably drop due to the uncertainty.
