You will have to check your local codes but when the wire is not protected IE run along joists, thru stud walls it must be in condut (Like your furnace shutoff is) or be armored. It still has to be secured in condut or armor depending on the lenght of the run.
Exposed means it can be subject to mechanical damage...
