Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

        On September 4, 2008, Enliven Marketing Technologies Corporation ("Enliven") and DG FastChannel, Inc. ("DG FastChannel") entered into an amendment to the previously announced merger agreement regarding DG FastChannel's previously announced acquisition of Enliven in a stock-for-stock transaction. The revised terms of the definitive agreement values Enliven at approximately $80 million, inclusive of DG FastChannel's planned assumption of approximately $5.0 million of Enliven's debt. Pursuant to the terms of the revised merger agreement, each outstanding share of Enliven common stock will be converted into 0.033 shares (reduced from 0.051 shares) of DG FastChannel common stock. In the aggregate, DG FastChannel expects to issue approximately 2.9 million shares of its common stock (exclusive of shares already owned by DG FastChannel). Upon consummation of the merger, DG FastChannel will have approximately 20.8 million shares of common stock outstanding, with current Enliven shareholders owning approximately 14%, and current DG FastChannel shareholders owning approximately 86% of the combined enterprise.

        In addition to the revised exchange ratio of 0.033 shares of DG FastChannel common stock to be issued for each share of Enliven common stock in connection with the merger, the amendment to the merger agreement modifies the provisions of the original merger agreement to provide that:

•

a vote of the DG FastChannel stockholders is no longer required as a condition to the consummation of the merger because the number of shares of DG FastChannel common stock to be issued in connection with the merger is, under the revised terms, less than 20% of the number of shares of DG FastChannel common stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and therefore the Nasdaq rules no longer require stockholder approval;



•

in determining whether a material adverse effect has occurred with respect to Enliven, any change in Enliven's cash position since May 7, 2008 or any failure or prospective failure of Enliven to achieve financial projections for Enliven prepared by either Enliven's or DG FastChannel's management will not be considered;



•

a termination fee of $1,538,984, rather than the previously agreed amount of $3,270,465, will be payable by Enliven to DG FastChannel in the event the merger agreement is terminated following (i) the failure to obtain the required vote at a duly held meeting of Enliven stockholders, but only if an acquisition proposal has been publicly announced and not expressly and publicly withdrawn prior to the Enliven special stockholders meeting and within 12 months following such termination an acquisition of Enliven is consummated; (ii) a change in the recommendation of the Enliven board of directors that the Enliven stockholders vote in favor of the transaction; or (iii) a determination by the Enliven board of directors to accept a proposal that would be more favorable to Enliven's stockholders;



•

DG FastChannel has agreed to reimburse Enliven for certain merger-related expenses of up to $1,500,000 in the event the merger is not consummated by October 6, 2008 (subject to extension in certain events) provided that Enliven has satisfied certain enumerated closing conditions, unless the agreement has been terminated because Enliven fails to obtain the required vote at a duly held meeting of Enliven stockholders or because a material adverse effect has occurred with respect to Enliven; and



•

upon completion of the merger, one current Enliven director, rather than two Enliven directors, will be elected to the DG FastChannel board of directors to serve in the class of directors whose term expires in 2010.

        The foregoing summary of the amendment to the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the amendment to the merger agreement furnished herewith as Exhibit 2.1, which is incorporated herein by reference. The amendment to the merger agreement has been attached to

provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about DG FastChannel, Enliven, their respective businesses or the actual conduct of their respective businesses during the period prior to the consummation of the merger. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the merger agreement, as amended, were used for the purpose of allocating risk between DG FastChannel and Enliven, rather than establishing matters of fact. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the merger agreement, as amended, may not constitute the actual state of facts about DG FastChannel and Enliven.
