NPAC Costs. Sprint's LNP Database service offering does not include the cost of any charges or assessments by Number Portability Administrative Centers, whether under the NPAC/SMS User Agreement with Lockheed, or otherwise, or any charges assessed directly against CLEC as the result of the FCC LNP Orders or otherwise by any third-party. These costs include the costs assessed against telecommunications carriers to pay for NPAC functions as permitted by the FCC and applicable legal or regulatory bodies. Sprint shall have no liability to CLEC or the NPAC for any of these fees or charges applicable to CLEC, even though it may pay such charges for other Sprint companies.
