AMENDMENT 4 TO SCHEDULE 13G
This Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13G (the “Schedule 13G/A”) is being filed on behalf of EagleRock Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“EagleRock”), and Mr. Nader Tavakoli the principal of EagleRock, relating to shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Darling International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).
This Schedule 13G/A relates to Common Stock purchased by Nader Tavakoli and EagleRock Capital for the account of EagleRock Master Fund, LP (“ERMF”), a Cayman Islands limited partnership, and EagleRock Institutional Partners LP (“ERIP”), a Delaware limited partnership. EagleRock Master Fund, LP holds 2,633,716 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for the accounts of EagleRock Capital Partners, L.P., EagleRock Capital Partners (QP), LP, both Delaware limited partnerships, and EagleRock Capital Partners Offshore Fund, Ltd. (together the “Capital Funds”). EagleRock Institutional Partners LP holds 3,810,062 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Tavakoli holds 501,978 shares of Common Stock individually. EagleRock acts as investment manager to each of the Capital Funds, ERMF and ERIP, and Mr. Tavakoli, as manager of EagleRock, controls the investment decisions of EagleRock Capital.
Item 4 Ownership.
     Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
  (a)   EagleRock is the beneficial owner of 6,443,778 shares of Common Stock and Mr. Tavakoli is the beneficial owner of 6,945,756 shares of Common Stock.
 
  (b)   EagleRock is the beneficial owner of 8.0% of the outstanding shares of Commons Stock, and Mr. Tavakoli is the beneficial owner of 8.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. These percentages are determined by dividing the number of shares beneficially held by the reporting persons, by 80,854,053, the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 02, 2006, as reported in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed November 9, 2006.
 
  (c)   EagleRock, as the investment manager of EagleRock Master Fund and ERIP, has the sole power to vote and dispose of the 6,443,778 shares of Common Stock held by EagleRock Master Fund and ERIP. As the principal of EagleRock, Mr. Tavakoli may direct the vote and disposition of the 6,443,778 shares of Common Stock held by EagleRock Master Fund and ERIP. In addition, Mr. Tavakoli may direct the vote and disposition of the 501,978 shares of Common Stock held by him individually.
 
      The filing of this Schedule 13G shall not be construed as an admission that EagleRock or Mr. Tavakoli is for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the beneficial owner of any of the 6,443,778 shares of Common Stock owned by EagleRock Master Fund or
