  (2) A transfer of some or all of a Proposition 1A receivable by a local agency to a purchaser of the receivable under this section is a sale and shall be treated as an absolute sale and transfer of the property so transferred and not as a pledge or grant of a security interest by the local agency to secure a borrowing.
  (3) The characterization of the transfer of a Proposition 1A receivable as an absolute sale by a local agency shall not be negated or adversely affected by any of the following:
  (A) The fact that only a portion of the Proposition 1A receivable is transferred.
  (B) By the local agency's acquisition of an ownership interest in any residual interest or a subordinate interest in the Proposition 1A receivable.
  (C) By any characterization of the purchaser for purposes of accounting, taxation, or securities regulation.
  (D) By any other factor.
