Pursuant to the instructions to Form S-8, Part I (Information Required in the Section 10(a) Prospectus) is not filed as part of this Registration
Statement.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
ITEM 3.    INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.
There are hereby incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents and information
heretofore filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by LookSmart:
1.
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, filed on March 15, 2002.
2.
The Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A relating to the Registrant's Common Stock filed on June 14, 1999, and any amendment or report filed for the
purpose of updating such description.
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
ITEM 4.    DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5.    INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM
6.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
permits indemnification of officers, directors and other corporate agents under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its
directors, officers, employees and agents to the full extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware law. The Registrant has entered into separate
indemnification agreements with its directors, officers and certain employees which require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status or service (other than
liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature). The Registrant also intends to maintain director and officer liability insurance, if available on reasonable terms.
The indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreement entered into between the Registrant and its officers and directors may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of
the Registrant's officers and directors
2
for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act. The Registrant has obtained a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance
that insures the Registrant's directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances.
ITEM 7.    EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not applicable.

ITEM 9.    UNDERTAKINGS.
(a)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
(iii)
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;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and (a)(l)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.
(2)
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
offering thereof.
3
(3)
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.
(b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the 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.
(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant 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 the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant 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, the registrant 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.
