Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective March 31, 2001, NGP Capital Resources Company, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Treasury Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Treasury Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto and SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent for the lenders.

Pursuant to the Treasury Credit Agreement, the lenders have agreed to extend revolving credit loans to the Company in an amount not to exceed $30,000,000. Proceeds from the Treasury Credit Agreement will be used to facilitate the growth of the Company's investment portfolio and provide flexibility in the sizing of its portfolio investments. The Treasury Credit Agreement has a 364-day term and bears interest, at the Company's option, at either (i) LIBOR plus 50 basis points or (ii) the base rate. The Company has the right at any time to prepay the loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.

The obligations under the Treasury Credit Agreement are secured by cash and certain treasury securities of the Company. The Treasury Credit Agreement contains affirmative and reporting covenants and certain financial ratio and restrictive covenants, including: (a) maintaining a ratio of net asset value to consolidated total indebtedness (excluding net hedging liabilities) of the Company and its subsidiaries, of not less than 2.25:1.0, (b) maintaining a ratio of net asset value to consolidated total indebtedness (including net hedging liabilities) of the Company and its subsidiaries, of not less than 2.0:1.0, (c) maintaining a ratio of EBITDA (excluding revenue from cash collateral) to interest expense (excluding interest on loans under the Treasury Credit Agreement) of the Company and its subsidiaries of not less than 3.0:1.0, (d) maintaining a ratio of collateral to the aggregate principal amount of loans under the Treasury Credit Agreement of not less than 1.02:1.0; (e) limitations on additional indebtedness, (f) limitations on liens, (g) limitations on mergers and other fundamental changes, (h) limitations on dividends, (i) limitations on disposition of assets other than in the normal course of business, (j) limitations on transactions with affiliates, (k) limitations on agreements that prohibit liens on properties of the Company and its subsidiary guarantors, (l) limitations on sale and leaseback transactions, (m) limitations on speculative hedging transactions, (n) limitations on significant changes to accounting treatment or reporting practices, except as required or permitted by generally accepted accounting principles, and (o) limitations on the aggregate amount of unfunded commitments.

The Company has borrowed $30,000,000 as of March 31, 2011 under the Treasury Credit Agreement. From time to time, certain of the lenders provide customary commercial and investment banking services to the Company.

Also effective March 31, 2001, and in conjunction with the Treasury Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a Consent and Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”), among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto and SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent for the lenders.

Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the lenders provided their consent to the consummation of the Treasury Credit Agreement.  In addition, all references to the Treasury Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of August 31, 2006, by and among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto and SunTrust Bank (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time) were replaced with references to the Treasury Credit Agreement.

 
 

 
 
From time to time, certain of the lenders provide customary commercial and investment banking services to the Company.
