Exhibit 10.41

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

This Separation Agreement and General Release
(Agreement) is made and entered into by and between Erik Riegler (hereinafter referred to as Employee) and LookSmart, Ltd., its successors, subsidiaries, related companies, parent company and affiliates (hereinafter sometimes
referred to as the Company).

The Company believes and the Employee agrees that it is authorized to terminate the
Employees employment without notice or cause;

The Company has notified the Employee that his/her employment with the Company will
terminate on or about August 19, 2005 (Separation Date);

This Agreement may not be executed by the Employee and will not
be accepted by LookSmart until AFTER the Employees Separation Date, but within the period provided for in this Agreement;

The
Employee acknowledges that the Employee has received all compensation due and owing, including all wages, commissions, bonuses and compensation for accrued and unused vacation;

The Employee does not have pending against the Company or any Employee, agent, official, or director of the Company any claim, charge, or action in or
with any federal, state, or local court or administrative agency; and

The Employee wishes to receive the separation pay provided
hereunder, receipt of which is expressly conditioned upon execution of this Release.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
covenants and promises contained in this document, the payment of the separation pay hereunder, which shall be paid by the Company to the Employee in accordance with this Agreement, and in an effort to avoid unnecessary lawsuits, it is hereby agreed
by and between the parties as follows:

FIRST: The Company will pay the Employee separation pay, totaling $77,000, less required
withholdings and authorized deductions, representing 22 weeks of Employees Base Salary, within 14 days of receipt of this signed Agreement, provided the Employee returns all Company materials and equipment within five (5) days of
Employees last day of work, and provided Employee signs and returns this Agreement, AFTER the Employees Separation Date, but no later than 30 days of receipt of this Agreement or 10 days after Employees Separation Date, whichever
is later.

The Employee agrees that the foregoing payment constitutes the entire amount of monetary consideration provided to the Employee
under this Agreement and that the Employee will not seek any further compensation for any other claimed compensation, damage, costs, or attorneys fees in connection with the matters encompassed in this Agreement.



---

SECOND:This Agreement and compliance with this Agreement shall not be construed as an admission
by the Company of any liability whatsoever, or as an admission by the Company of any violation of the rights of Employee or any person, violation of any order, law, statute, duty, or contract whatsoever against the Employee or any person. The
Company specifically disclaims any liability to Employee or any other person for any alleged violation of the rights of the Employee or any person, or for any alleged violation of any order, law, statute, duty, or contract on the part of the
Company, its Employees or agents or related companies or their Employees or agents.

THIRD:The Employee represents that the
Employee has not filed any complaints, claims, or actions against the Company, its officers, agents, directors, supervisors, Employees, or representatives with any state, federal, or local agency or court and that the Employee will not do so at any
time hereafter (either on his/her account or as a member of a class) and that if any agency or court assumes jurisdiction of any complaint, claim, or action (including, without limitation, any class action) against the Company or its affiliated
companies or any of their officers, agents, directors, supervisors, employees, or representatives on behalf of the Employee, the Employee will direct that agency or court to withdraw from or dismiss with prejudice the matter as to any claim made by
him/her on his/her behalf.

FOURTH:If requested by the Company, and upon reasonable notice, the Employee will act or appear as a
witness, deponent or in any other reasonable capacity to assist the Company or any affiliate in any civil or criminal action not arising from this Agreement.

FIFTH:The Employee agrees that all rights under section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California are waived by the Employee. Section 1542 provides as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which
if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

SIXTH:Notwithstanding the provisions of
section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, or any other similar statute under the law of the state of employment or residence, the Employee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the Company and
each and all of its officers, agents, directors, supervisors, Employees, representatives, and their successors and assigns and all persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with any of them from any and all charges, complaints, claims, and
liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected (hereinafter referred to as claim or claims) which the Employee at any time heretofore had or claimed to have or which the Employee may
have or claim to have regarding events that have occurred as of the date of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all claims related or in any manner incidental to the Employees employment with the Company or the termination
therefrom or notice with respect to termination therefrom under the WARN Act (29 U.S.C. § 2101, et seq.) or otherwise.

SEVENTH:The parties understand the word claims to include all actions, claims, and grievances, whether actual or potential, known or unknown, and specifically but not



1



---

exclusively all claims arising out of the Employees employment with the Company and the Employees
termination. All such claims (including related attorneys fees and costs) are forever barred by this Agreement regardless of whether those claims are based on any alleged breach of a duty arising in a statute, contract, or tort; any alleged
unlawful act, including, without limitation, discrimination or harassment of any kind (including, without limitation: race, sex, national origin, marital status, religion, sexual orientation or preference, veterans preference, disability);
notice under the WARN Act, any other claim or cause of action; and regardless of the forum in which it might be brought. For the avoidance of doubt, claims does not include any matters related to the Companys indemnification
obligations pursuant to Delaware law, its bylaws or any indemnification agreement between the Company and Employee, which are unaffected by this Separation Agreement.

By signing this Separation Agreement and General Release, the Employee agrees that he/she will not pursue any claim covered by this Release. If the Employee breaks this promise, the Employee agrees to pay the
Companys costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) related to the defense of any claims. The Employee should also understand that nothing in this release prevents the Employee from filing a charge or complaint with, or
from participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC or any state or local agency which can act as a referral agency for the EEOC.

EIGHTH:The parties acknowledge that they do not rely and have not relied upon any representation or statement made by any of the parties other than those specifically stated in this written Agreement.

NINTH:This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and upon their heirs, administrators, representatives, executors,
successors, and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of said parties and each of them and to their heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns. The Employee expressly warrants that the Employee has not transferred to
any person or entity any rights, causes of action, or claims released in this Agreement.

TENTH:Should any provision of this
Agreement be declared or be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be wholly or partially illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the legality, validity, and enforceability of the remaining parts, terms, or provisions shall not be affected
thereby, and said illegal, unenforceable, or invalid part, term, or provision shall be deemed not to be a part of this Agreement.

ELEVENTH:This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto and fully supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings, written or oral, between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter
hereof.

TWELFTH:The provisions of this Agreement will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. This
Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the plain meaning of its terms and not strictly for or against any of the parties hereto.

THIRTEENTH: Finally, the Employee agrees to comply with his/her Employment Confidentiality and Arbitration Agreement which remains in effect and is



2



---

incorporated herein by reference and agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information, knowledge,
or data relating to LookSmart, or any affiliated company, which was obtained by the Employee during the Employees employment with LookSmart, and agrees not to communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone or utilize
such information, knowledge or data without the prior written consent of the Company. The Employee agrees to return to the Company all Company property in his/her possession or under his/her control in accordance with this Agreement.
