1. A nonresident who is an exchange enrollment facilitator shall appoint the Commissioner, in writing, as his or her registered agent upon whom may be served all legal process issued in connection with any action or proceeding brought or pending in this State against or involving the nonresident certificate holder and relating to transactions under his or her Nevada certificate. The appointment is irrevocable and remains in force so long as such an action or proceeding exists or may arise. Duplicate copies of process must be served upon the Commissioner, or other person in apparent charge of the Division during the Commissioner’s absence, accompanied by payment of the fee for service of process. Promptly after any such service, the Commissioner shall forward a copy of the process by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the nonresident certificate holder at his or her business address of most recent record with the Division. Process so served and the copy so forwarded constitutes personal service upon the certificate holder for all purposes.

2. Each such nonresident certificate holder shall also file with the Commissioner a written agreement to appear before the Commissioner pursuant to notice of hearing, order to show cause or subpoena issued by the Commissioner and sent by certified mail to the certificate holder at his or her business address of most recent record with the Division, and that if the nonresident certificate holder fails to appear, the nonresident certificate holder thereby consents to any subsequent suspension, revocation or refusal to renew his or her certificate.
