                 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT BY LINKSXPRESS.COM, INC.
                             IN FAVOR OF JVWEB, INC

         THIS STOCK OPTION  AGREEMENT  (the  "Agreement")  is made effective the
20th  day  of  September,  1999,  between  LINKSXPRESS.COM,   INC.,  a  Colorado
corporation  (the   "Company"),   and  JVWEB,   INC.,  a  Delaware   corporation
("Optionee").

                                                      RECITALS:

         A.       The Company and Optionee have entered into an agreement to
exchange certain of their securities.

         B. As part of such  exchange,  the Company  agreed to grant to Optionee
the right to acquire certain shares of the Company's  common stock  (hereinafter
called "Common Stock"),  all as provided more fully hereinafter,  all subject to
the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement.

                                                     WITNESSETH:

         1.  Grant  of  Stock  Option;   Purchase  Price;  Expiration  Date.  In
consideration of $10.00 and other good and valuable  consideration (the receipt,
adequacy and sufficiency of which the Company hereby acknowledges),  the Company
hereby  grants to Optionee the right to purchase the numbers of shares of Common
Stock set forth in the table immediately below at the per-share  purchase prices
with respect to such numbers of shares set forth to the immediate  right of such
numbers of shares,  respectively  (the shares of Common Stock  pursuant to which
Optionee has acquired the right to purchase are referred to  hereinafter  as the
"Option Shares").

                  Number of Option Shares              Per-Share Purchase Price

                            50,000 Shares                     $0.25
                            50,000 Shares                     $0.50
                            50,000 Shares                     $0.75
                            50,000 Shares                     $1.00
                           100,000 Shares                     $1.50
                           200,000 Shares                     $2.00

The option  granted  hereunder  shall  expire  five years after the date of this
Agreement.

         2. Exercise.  Subject to the limitations contained herein, Optionee may
exercise the option created pursuant to this Agreement,  in whole or in part, at
any time or from time to time  after the date  hereof  prior to  expiration.  If
Optionee or Optionee's  permitted successor fails to exercise the option created
under this  Agreement  in full on or before the  expiration  date  provided  for
herein with respect to such option, the unexercised portion of such option shall
expire on such expiration date and be of no further force and effect. The option
to purchase granted hereunder shall be exercised by giving written notice to the
Company in compliance with this Agreement. Such notice shall state the number of
Option  Shares  with  respect to which the option is being  exercised  and shall
specify a date which  shall not be fewer than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30)
days after the date of such notice,  as the date on which the Option Shares will
be taken up and payment  made  therefor  in cash,  certified  or bank  cashier's
check,  or the  equivalent,  at the  principal  office  of the  Company.  Unless
otherwise  specified  in such  notice,  the exercise of the option shall be with
respect to unpurchased Option Shares having the lowest per-share purchase price.
If any law or regulation requires the Company to take any action with respect to
the Option  Shares  specified in such  notice,  then the date of the delivery of
such Option Shares  against  payment  therefor  shall be extended for the period
necessary  to take such  action.  In the event of any failure to take up and pay
for the number of Option  Shares  specified in such notice on the date set forth
therein,  as the same may be extended as provided  above,  such exercise of this
option may be  terminated  by the Company  with respect to such number of Option
Shares not taken and paid for.

         3.       Adjustments.

         (a) If the  outstanding  shares of the Common Stock shall be subdivided
into a greater  number of shares or a dividend in Common  Stock shall be paid in
respect of Common Stock,  the per-share  purchase prices of the Option Shares in
effect  immediately  prior to such  subdivision  or at the  record  date of such
dividend shall  simultaneously  with the  effectiveness  of such  subdivision or
immediately after the record date of such dividend be  proportionately  reduced.
If the  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock  shall be  combined  into a smaller
number of shares,  the per-share  purchase prices of the Option Shares in effect
immediately   prior  to  such  combination   shall,   simultaneously   with  the
effectiveness  of such  combination,  be  proportionately  increased.  When  any
adjustment is required to be made in the per-share purchase prices of the Option
Shares, the numbers of Option Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Option
shall be changed to the numbers  determined  by dividing  (i) an amount equal to
the numbers of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Option immediately prior
to such  adjustment,  multiplied by the per-share  purchase prices of the Option
Shares in effect  immediately  prior to such  adjustment,  by (ii) the per-share
purchase  prices  of  the  Option  Shares  in  effect   immediately  after  such
adjustment.

         (b) If there shall occur any capital reorganization or reclassification
of the  Common  Stock  (other  than a change  in par value or a  subdivision  or
combination  as  provided  for in  subsection  (a)  immediately  above),  or any
consolidation  or merger of the Company with or into another  corporation,  or a
transfer  of all or  substantially  all of the  assets  of the  Company,  or the
payment of a liquidating  distribution then, as part of any such reorganization,
reclassification,  consolidation,  merger,  sale  or  liquidating  distribution,
lawful  provision shall be made so that Optionee shall have the right thereafter
to receive upon the exercise hereof (to the extent,  if any, still  exercisable)
the kind and amount of shares of stock or other  securities  or  property  which
Optionee would have been entitled to receive if,  immediately  prior to any such
reorganization,  reclassification,  consolidation,  merger,  sale or liquidating
distribution,  as the case may be,  Optionee  had held the  number  of shares of
Common Stock which were then purchasable upon the exercise of the Option. In any
such case,  appropriate  adjustment  (as  reasonably  determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set
forth herein with  respect to the rights and  interests  thereafter  of Optionee
such that the provisions set forth in this Section 3 (including  provisions with
respect to  adjustment of the per-share  purchase  prices of the Option  Shares)
shall  thereafter  be  applicable,  as nearly as is reasonably  practicable,  in
relation  to any  shares of stock or other  securities  or  property  thereafter
deliverable upon the exercise of the Option.

         4. Shares  Reserved.  The Company will, at all times during the term of
this  Agreement,  reserve and keep available such number of its common shares as
will be sufficient to satisfy the  requirements  of this  Agreement and will pay
all fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection with the
issuance of such shares.

         5. Restriction on Issuance of Shares;  Legends. The Company will not be
obligated to sell any Option  Shares  hereunder  unless the Option Shares are at
the time  registered (or exempt from  registration)  under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"),  and applicable state  securities  laws.  Optionee
shall make such investment  representations  to the Company and shall consent to
the imposition of such legends on the stock  certificates  as are necessary,  in
the opinion of the Company's  counsel,  to secure to the Company an  appropriate
exemption  from  applicable  securities  laws if the Option  Shares are not then
registered.

         6.       Piggyback Registration Rights.

         (a) If at any time  after  the date  hereof  the  Company  proposes  to
register  any Common  Stock  under the Act for sale to the public for cash,  the
Company shall give written notice to Optionee of its intention so to do at least
20 days prior to filing the related  registration  statement (the  "Registration
Statement").  Upon the written  request of Optionee,  given within 10 days after
receipt of any such notice,  to register any Option Shares  (whether such Option
Shares have been issued or remain  underlying  the option created  hereby),  the
Company  shall use its best  efforts  to cause all  Option  Shares,  as to which
registration  shall have been so requested,  to be included in the securities to
be covered by the Registration Statement,  all to the extent requisite to permit
the sale or other  disposition by Optionee of the Option Shares  requested to be
so registered; provided, however, that:

                  (i) If, at any time after  giving such  written  notice of its
         intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of
         the Registration Statement,  the Company shall determine for any reason
         not to register such securities, the Company may, at its election, give
         written  notice of such  determination  to Optionee,  and thereupon the
         Company  shall be relieved  of its  obligation  to register  any Option
         Shares in connection with such registration.

                  (ii) If such registration  involves an underwritten  offering,
         Optionee  must sell its Option Shares to the  underwriters  selected by
         the  Company on the same terms and  conditions  as apply to the Company
         (except as otherwise agreed to by the Company in writing).

The  number  of Option  Shares to be  included  in such an  underwriting  may be
reduced,  pro rata among all the Company's  shareholders  selling  shares in the
offering,  in a ratio equal to the respective  amounts of shares  proposed to be
sold by such  shareholders,  if and to the extent that the managing  underwriter
shall advise Optionee and the Company by letter of its belief that the number of
securities requested to be registered exceeds the number that can be sold in (or
during the term of) such offering without  adversely  affecting the marketing of
the securities to be sold by the Company.

         (b)  In  connection  with  the  registration  provided  for  hereunder,
Optionee  shall use  reasonable  efforts to cooperate with the Company and shall
furnish to the Company in writing  such  information  with respect to it and its
proposed  distribution  as  shall be  reasonably  necessary  in order to  assure
compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws.

         (c) The  Company  shall pay all  expenses  incurred  by the  Company in
complying with this Section,  including,  without limitation,  all registration,
qualification,  and filing fees, blue sky fees and expenses,  printing expenses,
fees and  disbursements  of counsel and independent  public  accountants for the
Company, all fees and expenses of the underwriter customarily paid by issuers or
sellers of securities  (including fees of the National Association of Securities
Dealers,  Inc.),  transfer  taxes,  escrow  fees,  fees of  transfer  agents and
registrars,  and  costs  of  insurance.  Optionee  shall  pay  all  underwriting
discounts  and selling  commissions  applicable to the sale of the Option Shares
being registered.

         (d) (i) The Company shall protect, indemnify and hold Optionee, and its
officers,   directors,   shareholders,    attorneys,   accountants,   employees,
affiliates,  successors and assigns,  harmless from any and all demands, claims,
actions, causes of actions, lawsuits,  proceedings,  investigations,  judgments,
losses,  damages,  injuries,  liabilities,   obligations,   expenses  and  costs
(including  costs of litigation  and attorneys'  fees),  arising out of or based
upon (aa) any untrue  statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in or incorporated by reference into the Registration  Statement,  any
preliminary  prospectus or final prospectus  contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereto,  (bb) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not  misleading,  or (cc) any  material  violation by the Company of any
rule or regulation  promulgated under Act applicable to the Company and relating
to action or inaction by the Company in connection  with any such  registration;
provided,  however, that the Company shall not be liable in the case of (aa) and
(bb)  above  if and to the  extent  that  the  event  otherwise  giving  rise to
indemnification  arises out of or is based upon an untrue  statement  or alleged
untrue  statement  or  omission  or alleged  omission  made in  conformity  with
information  furnished  by a person  otherwise  entitled to  indemnification  in
writing  specifically  for use in the  Registration  Statement or  prospectus or
information  contained in a writing that has been  expressly  approved or deemed
approved by a person otherwise entitled to indemnification.

                  (ii) Optionee  shall  protect,  indemnify and hold the Company
and its officers, directors,  shareholders,  attorneys, accountants,  employees,
affiliates,  successors and assigns,  harmless from any and all demands, claims,
actions, causes of actions, lawsuits,  proceedings,  investigations,  judgments,
losses,  damages,  injuries,  liabilities,   obligations,   expenses  and  costs
(including  costs of litigation  and attorneys'  fees),  arising out of or based
upon (aa) any untrue  statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in or incorporated by reference into the Registration  Statement,  any
preliminary  prospectus or final prospectus  contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereto,  (bb) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading,  or (cc) any material  violation by Optionee of any rule
or regulation  promulgated  under the Act applicable to Optionee and relating to
action  or  inaction  by  Optionee  in  connection  with any such  registration;
provided,  however,  that Optionee  shall be liable in the case of (aa) and (bb)
above only if and to the extent that the event  giving  rise to  indemnification
arises out of or is based upon an untrue  statement or alleged untrue  statement
or omission or alleged omission made in conformity with information furnished by
Optionee  in  writing  specifically  for use in the  Registration  Statement  or
prospectus  or  information  contained  in a  writing  that has  been  expressly
approved or deemed approved by Optionee.

                  (iii)  Promptly  after receipt by an  indemnified  party under
this  Section 6 of notice of the  threat or  commencement  of any  action,  such
indemnified  party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an
indemnifying  party hereunder,  notify each such  indemnifying  party in writing
thereof,  but the omission so to notify an indemnifying  party shall not relieve
it from any liability which it may have to any  indemnified  party to the extent
that the  indemnifying  party is not prejudice as a result thereof.  In case any
such action shall be brought against any  indemnified  party and it shall notify
an indemnifying party of the commencement  thereof, the indemnifying party shall
be entitled to  participate  in and, to the extent it shall wish,  to assume and
undertake  the defense  thereof with  counsel  reasonably  satisfactory  to such
indemnified  party,  and,  after  notice  from  the  indemnifying  party to such
indemnified  party of its  election  so to  assume  and  undertake  the  defense
thereof,  the indemnifying  party shall not be liable to such indemnified  party
under  this  Section  6 for any legal  expenses  subsequently  incurred  by such
indemnified  party in connection  with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of  investigation  and of  liaison  with  counsel  so  elected;  provided,
however,  that, if the defendants in any such action include both an indemnified
party and an  indemnifying  party and the related  indemnified  party shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which
are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or
if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be believed to conflict
with the interests of the indemnifying  party, the indemnified  party shall have
the right to select  separate  counsel  and to assume  such legal  defenses  and
otherwise to  participate  in the defense of such action,  with the expenses and
fees of such separate counsel and other expenses  related to such  participation
to be reimbursed by the indemnifying  party as incurred.  No indemnifying  party
shall be subject to any liability for any settlement  made without consent which
shall not be unreasonably  withheld.  No indemnifying party shall consent to the
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement  which does not include as an
unconditional  term  thereof  the giving by the  claimant or  plaintiff  to such
indemnified  party of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or
litigation.

         7. Successors. This Agreement will be binding upon any successor of the
Company.

         8. No  Rights  as  Shareholder.  Optionee  shall  have no  rights  as a
shareholder  by  reason of this  Agreement  and shall  have  only  those  rights
expressly conferred by this Agreement.

         9. Nontransferability. This option will not be transferable without the
express prior written  consent of the Company.  More  particularly  (but without
limiting  the  generality  of the  foregoing),  the option may not be  assigned,
transferred,  pledged  or  hypothecated  in any way,  may not be  assignable  by
operation of law,  and may not be subject to  execution,  attachment  or similar
process.  Any attempted  assignment,  transfer,  pledge,  hypothecation or other
disposition of the option contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any
execution,  attachment or similar process upon the option, will be null and void
and without effect.

         10. Notices.  All notices,  requests,  demands and other communications
hereunder  shall  be in  writing  and  shall be  deemed  to have  been  given if
delivered or mailed, first class, with postage prepaid, to:
