SECTION 1.
Under the provisions of Tenn. Code Ann.§ 67-4-2603, any non-resident or foreign Non-Participating Manufacturer (“NPM”) that has not
registered to do business in Tennessee shall, as a condition precedent to having its brand families included or retained in the Directory of

must be authorized to receive service of process on whom all process, and any action or proceeding concerning or arising out of the
enforcement of Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 67-4-2601, et seq. and Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 47-31-101, et seq. may be served in any manner authorized
by law. Such service shall constitute legal and valid service of process on the NPM.
The undersigned NPM,
hereby appoints
as a registered agent. Said registered agent is authorized to receive service of process on behalf of the NPM. The NPM agrees to do the
following: (1) provide notice to the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Tennessee ("Attorney General"), at least 30 calendar
days prior to termination of the authority of the registered agent; (2) provide proof to the satisfaction of the Attorney General of the
appointment of a new agent at least five (5) calendar days prior to the termination of an existing agent appointment. The undersigned NPM

termination within five (5) calendar days and shall include proof to the Attorney General of the appointment of a new agent. The registered
agent must be appointed in the name of the Non-Participating Manufacturer, not in the name of an importer, distributor or any other entity.
Under penalty of perjury or falsification, I,
certify and declare that all of the statements and
information contained in this Certification, including but not limited to, any accompanying statements or attachments herewith, are true,
correct, accurate and complete in every respect and that I am a person authorized to bind the NPM making this document either under the
