1.  Nonresident directors.  A director of a domestic corporation who is a nonresident of this State at the time of the director's election or who becomes a nonresident during the director's term of office is, by the director's acceptance of election or by continuing in office as director, deemed to have appointed the Secretary of State as an agent to receive service of process upon the director in any action or proceeding relating to actions of the corporation and arising while the director held office as director of the corporation.  

2.  Service of process.  Service of process upon the Secretary of State must be made in the same manner as is provided by the Maine Rules of Civil Procedure, rule 4(d)(8), as amended, in the case of service upon the Secretary of State as an agent of a corporation. The copy of the process must be mailed to the nonresident director at the address of such director shown on the most recent annual report of the corporation.  

3.  Other service of process.  Service under this section may also be made by delivery of a copy of the process of the nonresident director at the director's address outside the State. Proof of such delivery must be made by affidavit of the person making delivery and the affidavit must be filed with the clerk of courts in which the action or proceeding is pending.  

4.  Termination of application.  The resignation of a nonresident director, effective as of the date of filing in accordance with section 106 a notice of the resignation signed by such former director, terminates the application to that director of the provisions of this section, except for any cause of action already accrued.
