CONSULTING AGREEMENT

This Consulting Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Heritage Corporate Services(“Consultant”) and BAETA Corp., a New Jersey corporation (the “Client” or the “Company”).

The Consultant is in the business of providing management consulting services, business advisory services, shareholder information services and public relations services. The Client deems it to be in its best interest to retain the Consultant to render to the Client such services as may be agreed to by the parties from time to time; and the Consultant desires to render such services to the Client as set forth hereunder.

Now therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Term of Agreement

The Agreement shall remain in effect from the date hereof through the expiration of a period of month from the date hereof (the “Term”), and thereafter may be renewed upon the mutual written consent of the Parties.

Termination

Either the Consultant or the Client may terminate this Agreement at the end of any month during the Term of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the dissolution, bankruptcy or insolvency of the Client or the Consultant. The Consultant and the Client shall have the right and the discretion to terminate this Agreement should the other party, in performing its duties hereunder, violate any law, ordinance, permit or regulation of any governmental entity or self-regulatory organization, accept for violations that either singularly or in the aggregate do not have or will not have a materially adverse effect on the party desiring termination.

Consulting Services

The Client hereby retains the Consultant as an independent contractor, and the Consultant hereby accepts and agrees to such retention. It is acknowledged and agreed by the Client that the Consultant carries neither professional licenses nor memberships in any self-regulatory organizations. It is further acknowledged and agreed by the Client that the Consultant is not rendering legal advice or performing accounting services and is not acting and shall not act as an investment advisor or broker/dealer within the meaning of any applicable state or federal securities laws. The services of the Consultant shall not be exclusive nor shall the Consultant be required to render any specific number of hours or assign specific personnel to the Client or its projects.

 
 

 
 
In connection with the Services to be rendered by Consultant to Client, Consultant shall provide Client with a monthly written record and account of all services performed by Consultant, which shall include specific details of all services rendered, and at a minimum, must include time spent, names and phone numbers of personnel who performed such services for Consultant, and must include the names and phone numbers of all parties involved. Failure to provide a monthly written record as described above shall constitute a breach of this Agreement, and shall be grounds for the forfeiture and return of all BAETA Corp. stock issued to Consultant as described in this Agreement.

Independent Contractor

The Consultant agrees to perform its consulting duties hereto as an independent contractor. Nothing contained herein shall be considered to create an employer-employee relationship between the parties to this Agreement. The Client shall not make social security, workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance payments on behalf of Consultant. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Consultant cannot guarantee the results or effectiveness of any of the services rendered or to be rendered by the Consultant. Rather, Consultant shall conduct its operations and provide its services in a professional manner and in accordance with good industry practice. The Consultant will use its reasonable business efforts in providing services to Client.

Time, Place and Manner of Performance

The Consultant shall be available to the officers and directors of the Client at such reasonable and convenient times and places as may be mutually agreed upon. Except as aforesaid, the time, place and manner of performance of the services hereunder, including the amount of time to be allocated by the Consultant to any specific service, shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Consultant.
