(B) (1) Such resident manager or agent shall, by the terms of his or her written consent:
(a) Take full responsibility for the conduct of the licensed premises; and
(b) Serve as agent for service of notices and other process relating to the license.
(2) (a) Such manager or agent must be a person who, by reason of age, character, reputation, and other attributes, could qualify individually as a licensee.
