Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

(a)           Securities Purchase Agreement with Barron Partners LP.

On February 14, 2011, Lattice Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Barron Partners LP (“Barron”) pursuant to which Barron purchased 454,546 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock  (the “Series D Stock”) for $1,000,000.    Each Series D Share is convertible into 20 common shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.11 per share, subject to adjustment and limitations.   In advance of the transaction, the Board of Directors approved and the Company filed a certificate of designation for Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

The Company will use the proceeds from issuance of the shares of Series D Stock to expand production capacity, establish sales offices and fund promotional efforts and fund working capital and acquisition needs, after paying legal and administrative fees incurred in connection with this transaction.

The Series D Preferred Stock has no voting rights, except as required by law. However, so long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company is subject to limitations on certain actions unless pre-approved by holders of 75% of the shares of the Series D Preferred stock then outstanding.  Upon liquidation, dissolution or windup, each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall entitle its holder to receive $2.20 out of the assets of the Company, prior to any distribution to any class of junior securities.    Among other covenants, the Company also agreed maintain a majority of its directors as independent directors, including those directors on the audit and compensation committees.

The Purchase Agreement as well as the certificate of designation for the Series D Preferred Stock provide for an adjustment in the initial conversion price and conversion ratio of the Series D Preferred Stock in the event certain gross revenue and earning targets are not met. The Certificate of Designation for the Series D Preferred Stock further provides that Series D Preferred Stock cannot be converted to the extent that such conversion or exercise would result in the holders and their affiliates owning beneficially more than 4.9% of our common stock.  These provisions cannot be modified.  The Certificate of Designation also contains provisions for adjustments in the event of stock dividends or stock splits and provides the certain price adjustment in the event of lower price issuances.

Under the Purchase Agreement, Barrons has a right of first refusal to participate in any subsequent funding in a pro rata basis at ninety percent (90%) of the offering price.   The Purchase Agreement also provides for protections should the Company sell or issue convertible securities, options or warrants involving common share conversion rights.  After four years, the price protection provisions terminate.
  
The Purchase Agreement also contains Company covenants concerning listing of its common stock, its periodic reporting status and auditors.  Failure by the Company to fulfill these and other covenants could require payment of liquidated damages, payable in Series D Stock or cash, at Purchaser's option.

The shares of Series D Stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are also subject to restrictions on dispositions and transfer.   Such limitations permit for dispositions solely when in compliance with federal and state securities laws.   The Company may also impose certain conditions, including delivery of securities law opinions reasonably acceptable to the Company.


The Company has also committed to obtaining an additional investment of $150,000 from current management and other investors within 45 days of the Closing.   The Company also agreed to obtain undertaking from executives, officers and directors to refrain from selling shares of Common Stock for a three (3) year period.
