officials, and Chevron's shareholders, investors, analysts, and the media, and by the Lago Agrio<br />

court by means of its acceptance of Defendants' and Cabrera's misrepresentations and omissions<br />

and its failure to take meaningful corrective action.<br />

393. As a direct, proximate, and foreseeable result of Defendants' fraud, Chevron has<br />

been harmed, including significant pecuniary, reputational, and other damages. These injuries<br />

include significant damage to Chevron's reputation and goodwill, and the attorneys' fees and<br />

costs to defend itself in objectively baseless, improperly motivated sham litigation in Ecuador<br />

and in related litigation in the U.S., including the attorneys' fees and costs associated with<br />

exposing the Defendants' pervasive fraud in the Section 1782 proceedings.<br />

394. Defendants have engaged in the malicious, willful, and fraudulent commission<br />

of wrongful acts and, because of the reprehensible and outrageous nature of these acts, Chevron<br />

is entitled to, and should be awarded, punitive damages against each of the Defendants.<br />

395. Chevron is further entitled to, and should be awarded, a preliminary and<br />

permanent injunction that enjoins Defendants, their assignees and anyone else acting in concert<br />

with them-including the law firms of Emery Celli, Motley Rice and Patton Boggs, and H5 and<br />

financial backers such as Burford and Russell DeLeon-from commencing, prosecuting, or<br />

advancing in any way-directly or indirectly-from any attempt to recognize or enforce the<br />

Lago Agrio judgment in any court, tribunal, or administrative agency in any jurisdiction, in the<br />

United States or abroad, including any attempt to attach or seize any Chevron or Chevron<br />

subsidiary's or co-venturer's assets, whether pre-judgment or otherwise, until this Court<br />

determines the merits and enters judgment on Chevron's claims against the Defendants in this<br />

action.<br />

WHEREFORE, Chevron prays for judgment as set forth below.<br />

FOURTH CLAIM FOR RELIEF<br />

(Tortious Interference With Contract)<br />

(Against All Defendants)<br />

396. Chevron realleges and incorporates herein by reference each and every foregoing<br />

paragraph of this Amended Complaint as if set forth in full.<br />
