Any foreign (other state) credit union that maintains a California branch office or California facility that has not filed with the commissioner an appointment pursuant to subdivision (a) is deemed by the maintenance of the branch office or facility to have appointed the commissioner as its attorney to receive service of any lawful process in any noncriminal judicial or administrative proceeding against the foreign (other state) credit union or any of its successors that arises out of the activities of the California branch office or California facility, with the same force and validity as if served personally
