ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     Vernon J. Carpenter, Tax Counsel for Infinity, has
provided an opinion regarding the Plans' compliance with
ERISA.  Mr. Carpenter is an employee of CBS Corporation and
a participant in one of the Plans.



ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Infinity is incorporated under the laws of the State of
Delaware.  Under Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, Infinity is empowered to indemnify its
directors and officers in the circumstances provided in
Section 145.  Certain portions of Section 145 are summarized
below.

     Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides that a corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of
the fact that such person is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe such person's conduct was unlawful.

     Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides that a corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of
the fact that such person is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith
and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of
any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall
have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless
and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery
or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity
for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or
such other court shall deem proper.

     Section 145(c) of the DGCL provides that to the extent
that a present or former director or officer of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise
in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
Section 145(a) and (b), or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against
expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection therewith.

     Section 145(d) of the DGCL provides that any
indemnification under Section 145(a) and (b), unless ordered
by a court, shall be made by the corporation only as
authorized in the specific case upon a determination that
indemnification of the present or former director, officer,
employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because
such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in Section 145(a) and (b). Such determination shall be
made with respect to a person who is a director or officer
at the time of such determination (1) by a majority vote of
the directors who were not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a
committee of such directors designated by majority vote of
such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if
there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct,
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by
the stockholders.

     Section 145(e) of the DGCL provides that expenses,
including attorneys' fees, incurred by an officer or
director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
corporation in advance of the final disposition of such
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by
or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such
amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person
is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in Section 145.  Such expenses, including
attorneys' fees, incurred by former directors and officers
or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms
and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems
appropriate.

     Section 145(f) of the DGCL provides that the
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, Section 145 shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled
under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.

     Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides that a corporation
shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability
asserted against such person and incurred by such person in
any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as
such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify such person against such liability under Section
145.

     Infinity's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
contains a provision eliminating, to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL as it exists or may in the future be
amended, the liability of a director to Infinity and its
stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary
or other duty as a director. However, the DGCL does not
currently allow such provision to limit the liability of a
director for: (1) any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to Infinity or its stockholders; (2) acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of laws; (3) payment of
dividends, stock purchases or redemptions that violate the
DGCL; or (4) any transaction from which the director derived
an improper personal benefit. Such limitation of liability
also does not affect the availability of equitable remedies
such as injunctive relief or rescission.

     Infinity's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
its Restated By-Laws also provide that, to the fullest
extent permitted by the DGCL as it exists or may in the
future be amended, Infinity will indemnify and hold harmless
any officer or director who is or was made a party or is
threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any
manner in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or
was an officer or director of Infinity or a director or
elected officer of a subsidiary of Infinity, and may
indemnify any employee or agent of Infinity and any person
serving at the request of Infinity as a officer, director,
partner, member, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise; provided,
however, that Infinity will indemnify any such person
seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding or
part of a proceeding initiated by such person only if such
proceeding or part of a proceeding was authorized by the
Board of Directors or is a proceeding to enforce such
person's claim to indemnification pursuant to the rights
granted by Infinity's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
or Infinity's Restated By-Laws.  In addition, Infinity will
pay the expenses incurred by any officers and directors, and
may pay the expenses incurred by other persons that may be
indemnified pursuant to its Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and its Restated By-Laws, in defending any
such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon
receipt, unless Infinity upon authorization of the Board of
Directors waives such requirement to the extent permitted by
applicable law, of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined
that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by
Infinity as authorized in its Restated By-Laws or otherwise.
Infinity's Restated By-Laws also state that such
indemnification is not exclusive of any other rights of the
indemnified party, including rights under any
indemnification agreements or otherwise.

     CBS Corporation currently maintains insurance on behalf
of officers and directors of CBS Corporation and its
subsidiaries (including Infinity and its subsidiaries)
against any liability that may be asserted against any such
officer or director, subject to certain customary
exclusions.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

     Infinity hereby undertakes:

* to file, during any period in which offers or sales are
  being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
  Statement to include any material information with respect
  to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
  Registration Statement or any material change to such
  information in the Registration Statement;

* that, for the purpose of determining any liability
  under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
  amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
  relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
  of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
  initial bona fide offer thereof;

* to remove from registration by means of a post-
  effective amendment any of the securities being registered
  which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

* that, for purposes of determining any liability under
  the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of Infinity's annual
  report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
  Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and, where applicable, each
  filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant
  to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
  that is incorporated by reference in this Registration
  Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
  relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
  of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
  initial bona fide offering thereof;  and

* insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
  under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
  directors, officers and controlling persons of Infinity
  pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Infinity
  has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
  Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
  policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
  unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
  indemnification against such liabilities, other than the
  payment by Infinity of expenses incurred or paid by a
  director, officer or controlling person of Infinity in the
  successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is
  asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
  connection with the securities being registered, Infinity
  will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
  been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
  appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
  indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
  in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
  such issue.
