A. Louisiana law, and specifically this Part and R.S. 10:9-109(e), shall apply to all sales of receivables over exchanges located in this state irrespective of the domicile or other location of the buyer or the seller.
B.
(1) The seller's written agreement and choice of law covenant in the underlying documents that Louisiana law shall apply to all sales of the seller's receivables over an exchange located in this state, shall be definitive for all purposes, and shall be absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably binding on the seller, and shall not be subsequently disavowed or refuted by any of the following persons:
(a) The seller.
(b) The seller's successors or assigns, or anyone acquiring rights from or through the seller, including the buyer.
(c) Past and future owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and attorneys of the seller, or of its successors or assigns, or anyone acquiring rights from or through the seller.
(d) The account debtor or person obligated to pay the receivable.
(e) All other third persons.
(2) Any person, including anyone listed in Paragraph (1) of this Subsection, attempting to contest the applicability of Louisiana law and to apply the laws of another state or jurisdiction to the sale of the seller's receivables over an exchange located in this state, shall be personally liable and obligated by operation of law to reimburse the buyer and the buyer's agents for all attorney fees, court costs, arbitration costs, expert fees, and out-of-pocket expenses, including but not limited to travel expenses expended in defense of the status of such a sale as a true sale under Louisiana law.
C. For the further purpose of applying relevant conflicts of law principles, the legislature declares that Louisiana public policy shall be most seriously impaired to the extent that the laws of another state or jurisdiction might be applied to sales of receivables over exchanges located in Louisiana. As sales of receivables take place in Louisiana over Louisiana-based exchanges, Louisiana shall be deemed to have the most significant contact with the underlying sales transaction.
