EXHIBIT 10.10


                                OPTION AGREEMENT

         THIS OPTION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into and effective this
1st day of July 1998, by and between NuVen Advisors Inc., a Nevada corporation
("NuVen"), and Flexweight Corp., a Kansas corporation (the "Company").

         WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue to NuVen options to purchase
shares of its common stock (the "Common Stock") in connection with the Company's
engagement of NuVen pursuant to the Advisory Agreement of even date between the
Company and NuVen, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and
incorporated by reference herein (the "Advisory Agreement"); and,

         WHEREAS, to induce NuVen to execute the Advisory Agreement the Company
hereby grants NuVen an option to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock
subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

         NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises herein,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
below, NuVen and the Company agree as follows:

1.       The Option

         The Company hereby grants to NuVen (hereinafter "Holder") an option
         (the "Option") to acquire Three Hundred Fifty Thousand (350,000) shares
         of the Company's Common Stock, subject to adjustment as set forth
         herein (such shares, as adjusted, are hereinafter referred to as the
         "Option Shares"), at a purchase price of $6.00 per share ("Option
         Price").

2.       Term and Exercise of Option

         A.   Term of Option.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Holder
              shall have the right to exercise the Option in whole or in part,
              commencing the date hereof through the close of business on July
              1, 2001.

         B.   Exercise of the Option.  The Option may be exercised upon written
              notice to the Company at its principal office setting out the
              number of Option Shares to be purchased, together with payment of
              the Option Price

         C.   Issuance of Option Shares.  Upon such notice of exercise and
              payment of the Option Price, the Company shall issue and cause to
              be delivered within five (5) business days following the written
              order of Holder, or its successor as provided for herein, and in
              such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate or
              certificates for the number of Option Shares so purchased. The
              rights of purchase represented by the Option shall be exercisable,
              at the election of the Holder thereof, either in full or from time
              to time in part, and in the event the Option is exercised in
              respect of less than all of the Option Shares purchasable on such
              exercise at any time prior to the date of expiration hereof, the
              remaining Option Shares shall continue to be subject to Adjustment
              as set forth in paragraph 4 hereof. The Company irrevocably agrees
              to reconstitute the Option Shares as provided herein.

3.       Reservation of Option Shares

         The Company shall at all times keep reserved and available, out of its
         authorized Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall
         be sufficient to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by
         this Agreement. The transfer agent for the Common Stock and any
         successor transfer agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock
         issuable upon the exercise of any of such rights of purchase, will be
         irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number
         of shares as shall be requisite for such purpose. The Company will
         cause a copy of this Agreement to be kept on file with the transfer
         agent or its successors.

4.       Adjustment of Option Shares

         The number of Option Shares purchasable pursuant to this Agreement
         shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of
         certain events, as follows:

         A.   Adjustment for Recapitalization.  Subject to paragraph 4.B below,
              in the event the Company shall (a) subdivide its outstanding
              shares of Common Stock, or (b) issue or convert by a
              reclassification or recapitalization of its shares of Common Stock
              into, for, or with other securities (a "Recapitalization"), the
              number of Option Shares purchasable hereunder immediately
              following such Recapitalization shall be adjusted so that the
              Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Option
              Shares or other securities of the Company measured as a percentage
              of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common
              Stock as of the hereof which it would have been entitled to
              receive immediately preceding such Recapitalization, had such
              Option been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such
              event or any record date with respect thereto. An adjustment made
              pursuant to this paragraph shall be calculated and effected taking
              into account the formula set forth in paragraph 4.B. below and
              shall become effective immediately after the effective date of
              such event retroactive to the effective date.

         B.   Adjustment of the Exercise Price and Number of Option Shares.  In
              the event of any change in the Company's Common Stock by reason of
              a reverse stock split, the number and Option Price of the shares
              subject to this Option shall not change or be adjusted.

         C.   Preservation of Purchase Rights Under Consolidation.  Subject to
              paragraph 4.B above, in case of any Recapitalization or any other
              consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into
              another corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to
              another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety
              or substantially as an entirety, the Company shall prior to the
              closing of such transaction, cause such successor or purchasing
              corporation, as the case may be, to acknowledge and accept
              responsibility for the Company's obligations hereunder and to
              grant the Holder the right thereafter upon payment of the Option
              Price to purchase the kind and amount of shares and other
              securities and property which he would have owned or have been
              entitled to receive after the happening of such consolidation,
              merger, sale or conveyance. The provisions of this paragraph shall
              similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or
              conveyances.
<PAGE>

         D.   Notice of Adjustment.  Whenever the number of Option Shares
              purchasable hereunder is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company
              shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder
              notice of such adjustment or adjustments, and shall deliver to
              Holder setting forth the adjusted number of Option Shares
              purchasable and a brief statement of the facts requiring such
              adjustment, including the computation by which such adjustment was
              made.

5.       Failure to Deliver Option Shares Constitutes Breach Under Advisory
         Agreement

         Failure by the Company, for any reason, to deliver the certificates
         representing any shares purchased pursuant to this Option within the
         five (5) business day period set forth in paragraph 2 above, or the
         placement of a Stop Transfer order by the Company on any Option Shares
         once issued, shall constitute a "Breach" under the Advisory Agreement
         and, for the purpose of determining the terms of this Agreement, shall
         automatically toll the expiration of this Agreement for a period of
         time equal to the delay in delivering the subject shares or term of the
         Stop Transfer order.

6.       Assignment

         The Option represented by this Agreement may only be assigned or
         transferred by NuVen to an Affiliate or subsidiary, or as the result of
         a corporate reorganization or recapitalization. For the purpose of this
         Option the term "Affiliate" shall be defined as a person or enterprise
         that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries,
         controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with the
         Company otherwise, this Agreement and the rights hereunder shall not be
         assigned by either party hereto.

         A facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction of this instrument may be
         executed by one or more parties hereto and such executed copy may be
