Surprised that being a long-time customer doesn’t make Century exempt!

Hmm, I wonder if any of these customers have a secret boat-leasing side business. That would be a plot twist!

I think Products Incorporated might be tricky because it's a regional company, but I can't recall if NASDAQ Capital Markets counts as exempt.

I practiced a similar question where local businesses were often not exempt, so I'm leaning towards Century Enterprises being the one that doesn't qualify.
