This Court also has personal jurisdiction over each Defendant in that each Defendant has established sufficient minimum contacts with this judicial district as a result of business conducted within the State of Texas and

within this judicial district. The exercise of jurisdiction over each Defendant would not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice. VENUE 9. Defendants do business in this district, including providing fibrin sealant patches,

which are used, offered for sale, sold, imported into and have been purchased in Texas, including in this judicial district.
