Exhibit 10.5



INDEMNITY AGREEMENT



This Agreement made and entered into as of this 30th day of March, 2005, by and between NGP Capital Resources Company, a Maryland corporation (the
Company), and  (Indemnitee), who is currently
serving the Company in the capacity of a director and/or officer;



W I T N E S S E T H:



WHEREAS, the Company and
Indemnitee recognize that the interpretation of ambiguous statutes, regulations, and court opinions and of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, and the vagaries of public policy, are too uncertain to provide the directors and
officers of the Company with adequate or reliable advance knowledge or guidance with respect to the legal risks and potential liabilities to which they may become personally exposed as a result of performing their duties in good faith for the
Company; and



WHEREAS, the Company and the Indemnitee are aware
that highly experienced and capable persons are often reluctant to serve as directors or officers of a corporation unless they are protected to the fullest extent permitted by law by comprehensive insurance or indemnification, especially since the
legal risks and potential liabilities, and the threat of such risks and liabilities, associated with lawsuits filed against the officers and directors of a corporation, and the resultant substantial time, expense, harassment, ridicule, abuse, and
anxiety spent and endured in defending against such lawsuits, whether or not meritorious, bear no reasonable or logical relationship to the amount of compensation received by the directors or officers from the corporation; and



WHEREAS, Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law and the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, which set forth certain provisions relating to the mandatory and permissive indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, officers and directors (among others) of a Maryland corporation by such
corporation, is specifically not exclusive of other rights to which those indemnified thereunder may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, and, thus, does not by itself limit the
extent to which the Company may indemnify persons serving as its officers and directors; and



WHEREAS, after due consideration and investigation of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the various other options available to the Company and the Indemnitee in lieu thereof, the board of directors of the
Company has determined that the following Agreement is not only reasonable and prudent but necessary to promote and ensure the best interests of the Company and its stockholders; and



WHEREAS, the Company desires to have Indemnitee serve or continue to serve as an officer and/or director of the Company,
free from undue concern for unpredictable, inappropriate, or unreasonable legal risks and personal liabilities by reason of his acting in good faith in the performance of his duties to the Company; and Indemnitee desires to serve, or to





---

continue to serve (provided that he is furnished the indemnity provided for hereinafter), in either or both of such capacities;

extent that the Maryland court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding was brought or is pending, shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity as the Maryland court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding was brought or such other court shall deem proper. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitees own legal counsel in

Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee (or on his behalf) in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 6, and without limitation, the
termination of any claim, issue, or matter in any Proceeding referred to in Sections 3 and/or 4 of this Agreement by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue, or matter.



7. Advances of Expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee pursuant to Sections 3 and/or 4 of this Agreement in connection with any Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding or
any claim, issue, or matter therein no later than 10 days after receipt by the Company of a written affirmation by Indemnitee of Indemnitees good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as
authorized by law and by this Agreement has been met and an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee (Indemnitee Undertaking) to repay such amount to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company. The Indemnitee Undertaking, which shall not be secured and shall be interest free, shall be substantially on the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement. For so long as the Company is subject to the Act, any advancement of
Expenses shall be subject to at least one of the following as a condition of the advancement: (a) Indemnitee shall provide a security for his or her undertaking, (b) the Company shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful
advances or (c) a majority of a quorum of Disinterested Directors of the Company, or Independent Counsel in a written opinion, shall determine, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a trial-type inquiry), that there is reason
to believe Indemnitee ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification. Any judgments, fines, or amounts to be paid in settlement of any Proceeding shall also be advanced by the Company upon request by Indemnitee. If the Company advances or pays
any amount to Indemnitee under Section 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 and if Indemnitee shall thereafter receive all or a portion of such amount under one or more policies of directors and officers liability insurance maintained by the Company or pursuant to a
trust fund, letter of credit, or other security or funding arrangement provided by the Company, Indemnitee shall promptly repay such amount or such portion thereof, as the case may be, to the Company. .



8. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.



(a) To obtain indemnification under this
Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request.



(b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof, a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, with



6



---

| | respect to Indemnitees entitlement to indemnification under Section 3, 4, 5, or 6 hereof shall be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change in Control
shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the board of directors of the Company, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) by a majority vote of a quorum
of the Disinterested Directors, or (B) if a quorum of Disinterested Directors cannot be obtained or, even if obtainable, if the Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the board of directors of the Company,
a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within 10 days after such determination. Any costs or expenses (including
attorneys fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in cooperating with the person, persons, or entity making the determination discussed in this Section 8(b) with respect to Indemnitees entitlement to indemnification, shall be
borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitees entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

(c) In the event the determination of entitlement to
indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 8(c). If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be
selected by the board of directors of the Company, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall
be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the board of directors of the Company, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it
of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the
case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of Independent Counsel as defined in
this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and
substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of
a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Maryland court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of
any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the others selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Court or by such other person as the Court shall
designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 8(a) hereof.

(d) Indemnitee will be deemed a party to a Proceeding for all purposes hereof if
Indemnitee is named as a defendant or respondent in a complaint or petition for relief in that Proceeding, regardless of whether Indemnitee is ever served with process or makes an appearance in that Proceeding.



9. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Provisions.



(a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to
indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume, in the absence of a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom a Proceeding was brought, that the Indemnitee has not met the
applicable standard of conduct or is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 8(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof in
overcoming such presumption by clear and convincing evidence. Neither the failure of the Company (including the board of directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action pursuant to this
Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its board of directors or independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee
has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.



(b) If the person, persons, or entity empowered or selected under Section 8 of this Agreement to determine
whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within 30 days after receipt by the Company therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and
Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitees statement not materially misleading, in connection with the
request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 15 days, if the person, persons or entity
making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto.



(c) For purposes of any determination of whether (i) the act
or omission of Indemnitee was material in the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (A) was committed in bad faith or (B) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money,
property, or services, or (iii) with respect to any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful (collectively, Good Faith), Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in Good Faith if
Indemnitees action is based on the records or books of account of the Company or another Enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary, or other
representative, information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial information, concerning the Enterprise or any other person



8



---

that were prepared or supplied to Indemnitee by: (i) one or more officers or employees of the Enterprise; (ii) appraisers, engineers, investment bankers,
legal counsel, or other persons as to matters Indemnitee reasonably believed were within the professional or expert competence of those persons; and (iii) any committee of the Board of Directors or equivalent managing body of the Enterprise of which
Indemnitee is or was, at the relevant time, not a member. The provisions of this Section 9(c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.



(d) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent, or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.



10. Establishment of a Trust. In the event of a
Potential Change in Control or a Change in Control, the Company shall, upon written request by Indemnitee, create a trust for the benefit of Indemnitee (the Trust) and from time to time upon written request of Indemnitee shall fund the
Trust in an amount equal to all Expenses and Liabilities reasonably anticipated at the time to be incurred in connection with any Proceeding. The amount to be deposited in the Trust pursuant to the foregoing funding obligation shall be determined by
the party determining the Indemnitees entitlement to indemnification pursuant to Section 8. The terms of the Trust shall provide that, upon a Change in Control, (a) the Trust shall not be revoked or the principal thereof invaded, without the
written consent of Indemnitee; (b) the trustee of the Trust shall advance, within 10 days of a request by Indemnitee, any and all Expenses to Indemnitee (and Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse the Trust under the circumstances in which Indemnitee
would be required to reimburse the Company for Expenses under this Agreement); (c) the Trust shall continue to be funded by the Company in accordance with the funding obligation set forth above; (d) the trustee of the Trust shall promptly pay to
Indemnitee all amounts for which Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise; and (e) all unexpended funds in that Trust shall revert to the Company upon a final determination by the party determining the
Indemnitees entitlement to indemnification pursuant to Section 8 or a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be, that Indemnitee has been fully indemnified under the terms of this Agreement. The trustee of the Trust shall be chosen
by Indemnitee. Nothing in this Section 10 shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement.



11. Remedies of Indemnitee.



(a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement
within the time period provided in Section 9(b) after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 5, Section 6, or the last sentence of Section 8(b) of this Agreement
within 10 days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 of this Agreement is not made within 10 days after a determination has been made that



9



---

| | Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by the Maryland court of competent jurisdiction of his entitlement
to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses and appeals therefrom, concluding in a final and unappealable judgment. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitees right to seek any such adjudication.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



(b) In the event that a determination shall have been made
pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 11 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits and Indemnitee shall not
be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination.



(c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this
Section 11, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitees statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a
prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.



(d) In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 11, seeks a judicial adjudication of his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the
Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and all expenses (of the types described in the definition of Expenses in Section 2(d) of this Agreement) actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication, but only
if (and only to the extent) he prevails therein. If it shall be determined in said judicial adjudication that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advancement of Expenses sought, the expenses incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication shall be appropriately prorated.



(e) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 11 that the procedures and
presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

12. Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses Under this Agreement Not Exclusive; Survival of
Rights. The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of
the Company, any other agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, the Maryland General Corporation Law, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration, or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any
right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the Maryland General Corporation Law, whether by statute or judicial
decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by
this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right
and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or
remedy.



13. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is
entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification or to receive advancement by the Company for a portion of the Expenses or Liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee (or on his behalf) in connection with such
Proceeding, or any claim, issue, or matter therein, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.



14. Rights Continued. The rights of indemnification and to receive
advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee even though Indemnitee may have ceased to be a director or officer of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitees personal or legal
representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.



15. No Construction as an Employment Agreement or Any Other Commitment.Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving Indemnitee
any right to be retained in the employ or as an officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, if Indemnitee currently serves as an officer of the Company, or to be renominated or reelected as a director of the Company, if Indemnitee currently
serves as a director of the Company.

25. Exclusive Jurisdiction; Governing Law. The Company and Indemnitee agree that all disputes in any way relating to or arising under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, any action for advancement of Expenses or indemnification, shall be litigated, if at all, exclusively in the Maryland courts, and if necessary, the corresponding appellate courts. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such state without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws. The Company and Indemnitee (i)

State of Maryland, The Corporation Trust Incorporated as its agent in the State of Maryland as such partys agent for acceptance of legal process in connection with any such action or proceeding against such party with the same legal force and
validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of Maryland, (iii) waive any



13

objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Maryland court of competent jurisdiction, and (iv) waive, and agree not to plead or
to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Maryland court of competent jurisdiction has been brought in an improper or otherwise inconvenient forum.



26. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) 10 years after
the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director and/or officer of the Company or director, officer, employee or agent of any Enterprise which Indemnitee served at the request of the Company; or (b) one year after the final,
nonappealable termination of any Proceeding then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement
relating thereto.



27. Contribution. If it is
established, under Section 8 or otherwise, that Indemnitee has the right to be indemnified under this Agreement in respect of any claim, but that right is unenforceable by reason of applicable law or public policy, then, to the fullest extent
applicable law permits, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying or causing the indemnification of Indemnitee under this Agreement and to the extent permitted under Section 17(h) of the Act, will contribute to the amount Indemnitee has incurred, whether
for Liabilities or for Expenses reasonably incurred, in connection with that Proceeding, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all the circumstances of that Proceeding in order to reflect:



(a) the relative benefits Indemnitee and the Company have
received as a result of the event(s) or transactions(s) giving rise to that Proceeding; or



(b) the relative fault of Indemnitee and of the Company and its other functionaries in connection with those event(s) or transaction(s).



28. Investment Company Act of 1940. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for so long as the Company is subject to the Act, the Company shall not indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee to the extent such indemnification or advance would violate the 1940.
