A. This Part shall apply to all sales of receivables over exchanges located in this state irrespective of whether the buyer or the seller of the receivable is a Louisiana resident, business organization or other entity, provided that the buyer and the seller contractually agree that such sales shall be deemed to be consummated in Louisiana subject to Louisiana law, and contractually agree that the sales of receivables result in true sales for all purposes.
B. An exchange shall be conclusively deemed to be located in this state when the exchange is owned and operated by a Louisiana business organization having fifty percent or more of its operational employees located in this state, and such Louisiana business organization declares in an affidavit filed in the conveyance office of the parish in which the organization has its principal place of business, that the affiant maintains its principal place of business in that parish. An exchange owner or operator located in this state may have additional sales and other offices, as well as managerial, sales, marketing, accounting and other operational and non-operational employees located in other jurisdictions, so long as the company has fifty percent or more of its operational employees in Louisiana. In the case of an electronic exchange conducting exchange business over the Internet or other electronic media, the servers and electronic interchanges of the company need not be physically located in Louisiana.
