  **Certification
          Required by Rule 13a-14(a)**
 **or
          Rule 15d-14(a)**
  I,
          Richard A. Bernardy, certify that:
  1.  I
          have
          reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of NGP Capital Resources Company;
  2.  Based
          on
          my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement
          of a
          material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
          made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made,
          not
          misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly report;
  3.  Based
          on
          my knowledge, the consolidated financial statements, and other financial
          information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material
          respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
          of the
          registrant as of, and for, the period presented in this quarterly report;
  4.  The
          registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and
          maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
          Act Rules
          13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have:
  (a)
          designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
          controls and procedures to be designed under my supervision, to ensure
          that
          material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated
          subsidiaries, is made known to me by others within those entities, particularly
          during the period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;
  (b)
          evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and
          procedures and presented in this quarterly report my conclusions about
          the
          effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
          of the
          period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
  (c)
          disclosed in this quarterly report any change in the registrant’s internal
          control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most
          recent fiscal quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an
          annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
          materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting;
  5.  The
          registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most
          recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
          registrant’s auditors:
  (a)
          all
          significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation
          of
          internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
          adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and
          report financial information; and
  (b)
          any
          fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
          who
          have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial
          reporting.
