GA Code § 11-5-116 (2021)
2021 Georgia Code|Title 11 - Commercial Code|Article 5 - Letters of Credit|§ 11-5-116. Choice of Law and Forum

  The liability of an issuer, nominated person, or adviser for any action or omission is governed by the law of the jurisdiction chosen by an agreement in the form of a record signed or otherwise authenticated by the affected parties in the manner provided in Code Section 11-5-104 or by a provision in the person's letter of credit, confirmation, or other undertaking. The jurisdiction whose law is chosen need not bear any relation to the transaction.   Unless subsection (a) of this Code section applies, the liability of an issuer, nominated person, or adviser for any action or omission is governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which the person is located. The person is considered to be located at the address indicated in the person's undertaking. If more than one address is indicated, the person is considered to be located at the address from which the person's undertaking was issued. For the purpose of jurisdiction, choice of law, and recognition of interbranch letters of credit, but not enforcement of a judgment, all branches of a bank are considered separate juridical entities and a bank is considered to be located at the place where its relevant branch is considered to be located under this subsection.   Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the liability of an issuer, nominated person, or adviser is governed by any rules of custom or practice, such as the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, to which the letter of credit, confirmation, or other undertaking, is expressly made subject. If:   This article would govern the liability of an issuer, nominated person, or adviser under subsection (a) or (b) of this Code section;   The relevant undertaking incorporates rules of custom or practice; and   There is conflict between this article and the incorporated rules as applied to that undertaking,  the incorporated rules govern except to the extent of any conflict with the nonvariable provisions specified in subsection (c) of Code Section 11-5-103.      If there is conflict between this article and Article 3, 4, 4A, or 9 of this title, this article governs.   The forum for settling disputes arising out of an undertaking within this article may be chosen in the manner and with the binding effect that governing law may be chosen in accordance with subsection (a) of this Code section.

GA Code § 11-5-117 (2021)
2021 Georgia Code|Title 11 - Commercial Code|Article 5 - Letters of Credit|§ 11-5-117. Subrogation of Issuer, Applicant, and Nominated Person

  An issuer that honors a beneficiary's presentation is subrogated to the rights of the beneficiary to the same extent as if the issuer were a secondary obligor of the underlying obligation owed to the beneficiary and of the applicant to the same extent as if the issuer were the secondary obligor of the underlying obligation owed to the applicant.   An applicant that reimburses an issuer is subrogated to the rights of the issuer against any beneficiary, presenter, or nominated person to the same extent as if the applicant were the secondary obligor of the obligations owed to the issuer and has the rights of subrogation of the issuer to the rights of the beneficiary stated in subsection (a) of this Code section.   A nominated person who pays or gives value against a draft or demand presented under a letter of credit is subrogated to the rights of:   The issuer against the applicant to the same extent as if the nominated person were a secondary obligor of the obligation owed to the issuer by the applicant;   The beneficiary to the same extent as if the nominated person were a secondary obligor of the underlying obligation owed to the beneficiary; and   The applicant to the same extent as if the nominated person were a secondary obligor of the underlying obligation owed to the applicant.     Notwithstanding any agreement or term to the contrary, the rights of subrogation stated in subsections (a) and (b) of this Code section do not arise until the issuer honors the letter of credit or otherwise pays and the rights in subsection (c) of this Code section do not arise until the nominated person pays or otherwise gives value. Until then the issuer, nominated person, and the applicant do not derive under this Code section present or prospective rights forming the basis of a claim, defense, or excuse.

2021 Georgia Code|Title 11 - Commercial Code|Article 5 - Letters of Credit|§ 11-5-118. Security Interest of Issuer or Nominated Person

  An issuer or nominated person has a security interest in a document presented under a letter of credit to the extent that the issuer or nominated person honors or gives value for the presentation.   So long as and to the extent that an issuer or nominated person has not been reimbursed or has not otherwise recovered the value given with respect to a security interest in a document under subsection (a) of this Code section, the security interest continues and is subject to Article 9 of this title, but:   A security agreement is not necessary to make the security interest enforceable under paragraph (3) of subsection (b) of Code Section 11-9-203;   If the document is presented in a medium other than a written or other tangible medium, the security interest is perfected; and   If the document is presented in a written or other tangible medium and is not a certificated security, chattel paper, a document of title, an instrument, or a letter of credit, the security interest is perfected and has priority over a conflicting security interest in the document so long as the debtor does not have possession of the document.

In any current year following a year for which the amount paid to the trust fund is reduced in accordance with subsection (c) of this Code section, the same percentage shall be paid into the state general fund as in the immediately preceding year unless the total moneys received from the levy of the sales and use tax in the immediately preceding year equal or exceed the total moneys received from the levy of the sales and use tax in the most recent year in which no reduction in the amount paid to the trust fund occurred pursuant to subsection (c) or (d) of this Code section.
