                                DISTRIBUTION PLAN


1.  THE PLAN. This Distribution Plan (the "Plan"), provides for the financing by
    Security  Ultra Fund (the "Fund") of activities  which are, or may be deemed
    to be,  primarily  intended  to  result in the sale of class S shares of the
    Fund (hereinafter called "distribution-related  activities").  The principal
    purpose of this Plan is to enable  the Fund to  supplement  expenditures  by
    Security   Distributors,   Inc.,   the   Distributor   of  its  shares  (the
    "Distributor"),  for distribution-related  activities. This Plan is intended
    to  comply  with the  requirements  of Rule  12b-1  (the  "Rule")  under the
    Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").

    The Board of Directors, in considering whether the Fund should implement the
    Plan, has requested and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary to
    make an informed  determination as to whether the Plan should be implemented
    and has considered such pertinent factors as it deemed necessary to form the
    basis for a decision to use assets of the Fund for such purposes.

    In voting to approve the  implementation  of the Plan,  the  Directors  have
    concluded,  in the  exercise of their  reasonable  business  judgment and in
    light of their  respective  fiduciary  duties,  that  there is a  reasonable
    likelihood that the Plan will benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

2.  COVERED EXPENSES.

    (a)  The Fund may make payments  under this Plan, or any agreement  relating
         to the  implementation  of this Plan, in connection with any activities
         or expenses  primarily intended to result in the sale of class S shares
         of  the  Fund,   including,   but  not   limited   to,  the   following
         distribution-related activities:

           (i)  Preparation,  printing and  distribution  of the  Prospectus and
                Statement of Additional  Information and any supplement  thereto
                used in  connection  with the  offering  of Fund  shares  to the
                public;

          (ii)  Printing  of  additional  copies for use by the  Distributor  as
                sales literature, of reports and other communications which were
                prepared by the Fund for distribution to existing shareholders;

         (iii)  Preparation,  printing  and  distribution  of  any  other  sales
                literature  used in connection  with the offering of Fund shares
                to the public;

          (iv)  Expenses  incurred in advertising,  promoting and selling shares
                of the Fund to the public;

           (v)  Any fees paid by the Distributor to securities  dealers who have
                executed a Dealer's Distribution  Agreement with the Distributor
                for account  maintenance and personal service to shareholders (a
                "Service Fee");

          (vi)  Commissions  to sales  personnel for selling  shares of the Fund
                and interest expenses related thereto; and

         (vii)  Expenses  incurred in  promoting  sales of shares of the Fund by
                securities  dealers,  including  the  costs  of  preparation  of
                materials  for   presentations,   travel   expenses,   costs  of
                entertainment,  and other expenses  incurred in connection  with
                promoting sales of Fund shares by dealers.

    (b)  Any payments for distribution-related activities shall be made pursuant
         to an agreement.  As required by the Rule,  each agreement  relating to
         the  implementation  of this Plan  shall be in writing  and  subject to
         approval and  termination  pursuant to the  provisions  of Section 7 of
         this Plan. However,  this Plan shall not obligate the Fund or any other
         party to enter into such agreement.

3.  AGREEMENT WITH DISTRIBUTOR. All payments to the Distributor pursuant to this
    Plan  shall be subject to and made in  compliance  with a written  agreement
    between  the  Fund  and the  Distributor  containing  a  provision  that the
    Distributor  shall furnish the Fund with  quarterly  written  reports of the
    amounts expended and the purposes for which such  expenditures were made and
    such  other  information  relating  to  such  expenditures  or to the  other
    distribution-related  activities  undertaken or proposed to be undertaken by
    the  Distributor  during such fiscal year under its  Distribution  Agreement
    with the Fund as the Fund may reasonably request.

4.  DEALER'S DISTRIBUTION  AGREEMENT.  The Dealer's Distribution  Agreement (the
    "Agreement")  contemplated  by Section 2(a)(v) above shall permit payment of
    Service Fees to  securities  dealers by the  Distributor  only in accordance
    with the  provisions  of this  paragraph  and shall have the approval of the
    majority of the Board of Directors of the Fund,  including  the  affirmative
    vote of a majority of those Directors who are not interested  persons of the
    Fund and who have no direct or indirect  financial interest in the operation
    of the Plan or any agreement related to the Plan ("Independent  Directors"),
    as required by the Rule. The  Distributor  may pay to the other party to any
    Agreement a Service Fee for account  maintenance  and  shareholder  services
    provided by such other party. Such Service Fee shall be payable beginning in
    the second year, and for each year thereafter,  quarterly,  in arrears in an
    amount  equal to a percentage  (not in excess of .000685  percent per day or
    0.25 percent  annually) of the  aggregate net asset value of the shares held
    by such other party's customers or clients at the close of business each day
    as determined from time to time by the Distributor.  The account maintenance
    and  shareholder  services  contemplated  hereby shall include,  but are not
    limited to, answering inquiries regarding the Fund, account designations and
    addresses,  maintaining  the  investment of such other party's  customers or
    clients in the Fund and similar services.  In determining the extent of such
    other party's  assistance in maintaining such investment by its customers or
    clients,  the  Distributor  may take into account the  possibility  that the
    shares held by such  customer or client  would be redeemed in the absence of
    such fee.

5.  LIMITATIONS  ON  COVERED  EXPENSES.  The basic  limitation  on the  expenses
    incurred by the Fund under Section 2 of this Plan  (including  Service Fees)
    in any fiscal  year of the Fund shall be one  percent  (1.00%) of the Fund's
    average  daily net assets for such  fiscal  year.  The  payments  to be paid
    pursuant to this Plan shall be calculated and accrued daily and paid monthly
    or at such other intervals as the Directors shall determine,  subject to any
    applicable  restriction  imposed  by rules of the  National  Association  of
    Securities Dealers, Inc.

6.  INDEPENDENT  DIRECTORS.  While this Plan is in  effect,  the  selection  and
    nomination  of  Independent  Directors of the Fund shall be committed to the
    discretion of the  Independent  Directors.  Nothing herein shall prevent the
    involvement of others in such selection and nomination if the final decision
    on any such  selection  and  nomination  is  approved  by a majority  of the
    Independent Directors.

7.  EFFECTIVENESS,  CONTINUATION,  TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT. This Plan and each
    Agreement  relating to the  implementation of this Plan shall go into effect
    when approved.

    (a)  By vote of the Fund's  Directors,  including the affirmative  vote of a
         majority  of the  Independent  Directors,  cast in  person at a meeting
         called for the purpose of voting on the Plan or the Agreement; and

    (b)  Upon the  effectiveness  of an  amendment  to the  Fund's  registration
         statement, reflecting this Plan, filed with the Securities and Exchange
         Commission under the Securities Act of 1933.

    This Plan and any  Agreements  relating to the  implementation  of this Plan
    shall,  unless terminated as hereinafter  provided,  continue in effect from
    year to year only so long as such  continuance is  specifically  approved at
    least annually by vote of the Fund's  Directors,  including the  affirmative
    vote of a majority of its Independent Directors, cast in person at a meeting
    called  for the  purpose  of voting on such  continuance.  This Plan and any
    Agreements relating to the implementation of this Plan may be terminated, in
    the case of the Plan, at any time or, in the case of any Agreements upon not
    more  than  sixty  (60)  days'  written  notice  to any  other  party to the
    Agreement by vote of a majority of the Independent  Directors or by the vote
    of the holders of a majority of the  outstanding  voting  securities  of the
    Fund's Class S shares.  Any Agreement relating to the implementation of this
    Plan shall terminate automatically in the event it is assigned. Any material
    amendment  to this  Plan  shall  require  approval  by  vote  of the  Fund's
    Directors,  including the affirmative  vote of a majority of the Independent
    Directors,  cast in person at a meeting  called for the purpose of voting on
    such amendment and, if such amendment  materially  increases the limitations
    on expenses payable under the Plan, it shall also require approval by a vote
    of holders of at least a majority of the  outstanding  voting  securities of
    the Fund's  Class S shares.  As applied to the Fund the phrase  "majority of
    the  outstanding  voting  securities"  shall have the meaning  specified  in
    Section 2(a) of the 1940 Act.

    In the event this Plan should be terminated by the shareholders or Directors
    of the Fund, the payments paid to the Distributor pursuant to the Plan up to
    the date of termination  shall be retained by the Distributor.  Any expenses
    incurred by the  Distributor  in excess of those  payments  will be the sole
    responsibility of the Distributor.

8.  RECORDS.  The Fund  shall  preserve  copies  of this  Plan  and any  related
    Agreements  and all reports made pursuant to Section 3 hereof,  for a period
    of not  less  than  six (6)  years  from  the  date of this  Plan,  any such
    Agreement or any such report,  as the case may be, the first two years in an
    easily accessible place.
