1. (a)

   Nothing in Table I shall prevent a diocesan board of finance and a diocesan registrar from agreeing that in addition to the annual fee prescribed there shall be paid to the diocesan registrar an additional sum in consideration of the exceptional cost of maintaining his particular diocesan registry and of performing the duties and providing the services referred to in paragraph 3 of this Order.

2. (b)

   “Exceptional cost” means either (i) where the expenses of the particular registry for such items as rent, rates and salaries are above the average in registries within the two provinces of Canterbury and York, or (ii) where the duties and services referred to in paragraph 3 of this Order and specified in the Appendix provided by the particular diocesan registrar are more extensive than in the average registry as so defined.

   Such annual payment shall be called an “exceptional cost fee”.
