A person shall not be denied employment under this section by reason of failure to present himself for and submit to the federal registration requirement if: (i) the requirement for the person to so register has terminated or become inapplicable to the person and (ii) the person shows by a preponderance of the evidence that the failure of the person to register was not a knowing and willful failure to register.
