This stock purchase agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of December 12, 2009, is entered into by and among Bellmore Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Bellmore” or the “Company”), Mark Gruberg and Bernard Gruberg (the “Sellers”), and Walter Kostiuk (the “Purchaser”) and together with the Company and the Sellers, the “Parties”, and each individually, a “Party”).

W i t n e s s e t h:

Whereas, the Sellers are shareholders of Bellmore and own and/or control the shares listed on Schedule A, attached hereto, which represents approximately 84.39% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, (the “Stock”); and

Whereas, the Purchaser desires to acquire the Stock from Sellers.

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises, representations and covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Construction and Interpretation

1.1. Principles of Construction.

(a) All references to Articles, Sections, subsections and Appendixes are to Articles, Sections, subsections and Appendixes in or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.  The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.  The term “including” is not limiting and means “including without limitations.”

(b) In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including”; the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding”; and the word “through” means “to and including.”

(c) The Table of Contents hereto and the Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

(d) Both the Sellers and the Purchaser acknowledge and understand that Anslow & Jaclin LLP (the “Counsel”) represents the Company, and does not represent or act as legal counsel for the Purchaser or the Sellers in their individual capacities.

(e) This Agreement is the result of negotiations among the Parties and has been reviewed by the Counsel.  Accordingly, this Agreement shall not be construed against any Party merely because of such Party’s involvement in its preparation.

(f) Wherever in this Agreement the intent so requires, reference to the neuter, masculine or feminine shall be deemed to include each of the other, and reference to either the singular or the plural shall be deemed to include the other.

Section 2.  The Transaction

2.1. Purchase Price:

Sellers hereby agree to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser, in reliance on the representations and warranties contained herein, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, agrees to purchase from Sellers the Stock for a total purchase price of two hundred and seventy five thousand dollars ($275,000) (the “Purchase Price”).  The Purchase Price is payable in the following manner:

1.  
The Purchaser shall pay a thirty thousand dollar ($30,000) non-refundable deposit (the “Deposit”), payable to the Sellers by wire transfer to the Escrow Account (as defined herein), to be released to the Sellers immediately upon the execution of this Agreement; and

2.  
The balance of the Purchase Price of two hundred and forty five thousand dollars ($245,000) (the “Balance”) shall be due and payable on or before January 14, 2010 (the “Termination Date”).  If the Balance is not delivered to the Escrow Account by the Purchaser by 5:00pm ET on the Termination Date, any portion of the Balance previously paid to the Escrow Account shall be returned to the Purchaser.

2.4. Escrow of Shares.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the Stock with a medallion guaranteed stock power shall be held in the Escrow Account (the “Escrow Shares”) by the Escrow Agent until such time as the Purchase Price has been paid in full.  In the event of Non-Payment by the Purchaser, the Escrow Shares shall be immediately returned to the Sellers.  At such time as the Purchase Price and applicable Penalty Payment, if any, is paid in full, the Escrow Shares shall be released to the Purchaser.
