(a) the licensee resides in a locality where it is | ||
demonstrated that the
absence of opportunities for such | ||
education would interfere with the
ability of the licensee | ||
to provide service to the public;

requirements would
cause a substantial financial hardship | ||
on the licensee;
| ||
(c) that the licensee is serving in the United States | ||
Armed Forces; or
