The Board of Directors of each Company unanimously nominated H. Kevin Birzer and John R. Graham, following a recommendation by the Nominating and Governance Committee of each of TYG, TYY, TYN and TPZ, and the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee of TTO, for election as directors at the combined annual meeting of stockholders of the Companies. Mr. Birzer and Mr. Graham are currently directors of each Company, have consented to be named in this proxy statement and have agreed to serve if elected. The Companies have no reason to believe that either Mr. Birzer or Mr. Graham will be unavailable to serve.

The persons named on the accompanying proxy card intend to vote at the meeting (unless otherwise directed) “FOR” the election of Mr. Birzer and Mr. Graham as directors of each Company. Currently, each Company has four directors. In accordance with each Company’s Articles of Incorporation, its Board of Directors is divided into three classes of approximately equal size. The terms of the directors of the different classes are staggered. The term of Conrad S. Ciccotello expires on the date of the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders of each Company and the term of Charles E. Heath expires on the date of the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders of each Company. Pursuant to the terms of each of TYG’s and TYY’s preferred shares, the preferred stockholders of that Company have the exclusive right to elect two directors to the Company’s Board. The Board of each of TYG and TYY has designated Mr. Birzer and Mr. Charles E. Heath as the directors the preferred stockholders of that Company shall have the right to elect.

On this proposal, for each of TYG and TYY, holders of preferred shares will have the exclusive right, voting as a class, to vote on the election of Mr. Birzer as director of that Company, and holders of preferred shares and common shares will vote together as a single class on the election of Mr. Graham as director of that Company. For each of TYN, TTO and TPZ, holders of common shares will vote as a class on the election of Mr. Birzer and Mr. Graham as directors of that Company. Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights.

With respect to each Company, if elected, Mr. Birzer and Mr. Graham will hold office until the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders of each Company and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. If either Mr. Birzer or Mr. Graham is unable to serve because of an event not now anticipated, the persons named as proxies may vote for another person designated by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Committees of the Board of Directors of each Company. Each Company’s Board of Directors currently has four standing committees: (i) the Executive Committee; (ii) the Audit Committee for each of TYG, TYY and TYN, and the Audit and Valuation Committee for each of TPZ and TTO; (iii) the Nominating and Governance Committee for each of TYG, TYY, TYN and TPZ, and the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee for TTO; and (iv) the Compliance Committee. Currently, all of the non-interested directors, Messrs. Ciccotello, Graham and Heath, are the only members of each of these committees for each Company. Each Company’s Executive Committee currently consists of Mr. Birzer and Mr. Heath.

Executive Committee. The Executive Committee of each Company has authority to exercise the powers of the Board (i) to address emergency matters where assembling the full Board in a timely manner is impracticable, or (ii) to address matters of an administrative or ministerial nature. Mr. Birzer is an “interested person” of each Company as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. In the absence of either member of the Executive Committee, the remaining member is authorized to act alone.

Audit Committee/Audit and Valuation Committee. The Audit Committee of each of TYG, TYY and TYN, and the Audit and Valuation Committee of each of TPZ and TTO, was established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board, a current copy of which is available at the Company’s link on the Adviser’s website (www.tortoiseadvisors.com) and in print to any stockholder who requests it from the Secretary of the Company at 11550 Ash Street, Suite 300, Leawood, Kansas 66211. The Committee approves and recommends to the Board the selection, retention or termination of the independent registered public accounting firm (“auditors”); approves services to be rendered by the auditors; monitors the auditors’ performance; reviews the results of each Company’s audit; determines whether to

recommend to the Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report; and responds to other matters as outlined in the Committee Charter. TTO’s Audit and Valuation Committee also reviews the portfolio company valuations proposed by the Adviser’s investment committee. Each Committee member is “independent” as defined under the applicable New York Stock Exchange listing standards, and none are “interested persons” of the Company as defined in the 1940 Act. The Board of Directors of each company has determined that Conrad S. Ciccotello is an “audit committee financial expert.” In addition to his experience overseeing or assessing the performance of companies or public accountants with respect to the preparation, auditing or evaluation of financial statements, Mr. Ciccotello has a Ph.D. in Finance.

Nominating and Governance Committee. Each Nominating and Governance Committee (Nominating, Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee for TTO) member is “independent” as defined under the New York Stock Exchange listing standards, and none are “interested persons” of TYG, TYY, TYN, TPZ or TTO as defined in the 1940 Act. The Nominating and Governance Committee of each of TYG, TYY, TYN and TPZ operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board, a current copy of which is available at the Company’s link on the Adviser’s website (www.tortoiseadvisors.com). The Nominating, Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee of TTO operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board, a current copy of which is available on TTO’s website (www.tortoiseadvisors.com/tto.cfm) and in print to any stockholder who requests it from the Secretary of the Company at 11550 Ash Street, Suite 300, Leawood, Kansas 66211. The Committee: (i) identifies individuals qualified to become Board members and recommends to the Board the director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders and to fill any vacancies; (ii) monitors the structure and membership of Board committees and recommends to the Board director nominees for each committee; (iii) reviews issues and developments related to corporate governance issues and develops and recommends to the Board corporate governance guidelines and procedures, to the extent necessary or desirable; (iv) has the sole authority to retain and terminate any search firm used to identify director candidates and to approve the search firm’s fees and other retention terms, though it has yet to exercise such authority; and (v) may not delegate its authority. TTO’s Nominating, Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee also evaluates and makes recommendations to the Board regarding director compensation based on a formula adopted by the Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee (Nominating, Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee for TTO) will consider stockholder recommendations for nominees for membership to the Board so long as such recommendations are made in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws. Nominees recommended by stockholders in compliance with the Bylaws of the Company will be evaluated on the same basis as other nominees considered by the Committee. Stockholders should see “Stockholder Proposals and Nominations for the 2011 Annual Meeting” below for information relating to the submission by stockholders of nominees and matters for consideration at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders. Each Company’s Bylaws require all directors and nominees for directors (1) to be at least 21 years of age and have substantial expertise, experience or relationships relevant to the business of the Company and (2) to have a master’s degree in economics, finance, business administration or accounting, to have a graduate professional degree in law from an accredited university or college in the United States or the equivalent degree from an equivalent institution of higher learning in another country, or to have a certification as a public accountant in the United States, or be deemed an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the SEC, or to be a current director of the Company. The Committee has the sole discretion to determine if an individual satisfies the foregoing qualifications.

Compliance Committee. Each Compliance Committee member is “independent” as defined under the New York Stock Exchange listing standards, and none are “interested persons” of the Company as defined in the 1940 Act. Each Company’s Compliance Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. The committee reviews and assesses management’s compliance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations; monitors compliance with the Company’s Code of Ethics; and handles other matters as the Board or committee chair deems appropriate.

None of TYG, TYY, TYN or TPZ currently has a standing compensation committee. None of TYG, TYY, TYN or TPZ has any employees and the New York Stock Exchange does not require boards of directors of registered closed-end funds to have a standing compensation committee.

During the 2009 fiscal year, for each of the Companies, all directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (1) the total number of meetings of the Board and (2) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which they served. None of the Companies has a policy with respect to Board member attendance at annual meetings. All of the directors of each of TYG, TYY, TYN and TTO attended the Company’s 2009 annual meeting. TPZ’s initial public offering occurred in July 2009 and therefore, it did not have an annual meeting of stockholders in 2009.

TTO has designated Conrad S. Ciccotello as the presiding director to preside at all executive sessions of the Company’s non-management directors. Executive sessions of the Company’s non-management directors are held at least twice a year. Stockholders and any interested parties may communicate directly with Mr. Ciccotello, or with the non-management directors as a group, by writing to the Secretary of the Company at its principal office at 11550 Ash Street, Suite 300, Leawood, Kansas 66211.

Director and Officer Compensation. None of the Companies compensates any of its directors who are interested persons nor any of its officers. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the compensation paid by each Company and the Fund Complex for fiscal 2009 to each of the current directors for their services as a director. None of the Companies has any retirement or pension plans.

________________________

(1) No amounts have been deferred for any of the persons listed in the table.

(2)

Amounts reflect payments for fiscal 2009, which was not a full fiscal year. For fiscal 2010 each Independent Director will receive a $3,000 retainer, the audit committee chair will receive an additional $2,000 retainer and each other committee chair will receive a $1,000 retainer. In addition, each Independent Director will receive a fee of $2,000 (and reimbursement for related expenses) for each meeting of the Board of Directors or Audit and Valuation Committee he or she attends in person (or $1,000 for each Board of Directors or Audit and Valuation Committee meeting attended telephonically, or for each Audit and Valuation Committee meeting attended in person that is held on the same day as a Board of Directors meeting). Independent Directors also receive $1,000 for each other committee meeting attended in person or telephonically (other than Audit and Valuation Committee meetings).

(3)	Amounts include compensation paid to Independent Directors as directors of Tortoise Gas and Oil Corporation which was reorganized into TYN in September 2009.

Required Vote. With respect to each of TYG and TYY, Mr. Graham will each be elected by the vote of a plurality of all shares of common stock and preferred stock of the Company present at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and Mr. Birzer will be elected by the vote of a plurality of all shares of preferred stock of the Company present at the meeting, in person or by proxy. With respect to TYN, TTO and TPZ, Mr. Birzer and Mr. Graham will each be elected by the vote of a plurality of all shares of common stock of the Company present at the meeting, in person or by proxy. When there are two vacancies for director, as is the case here, a vote by plurality means the two nominees with the highest number of affirmative votes, regardless of the votes withheld for the candidates, will be elected. Therefore, with respect to each Company, withheld votes and broker non votes, if any, will not be counted towards a nominee’s achievement of a plurality. With respect to each of TYG and TYY, each common share and each preferred share is entitled to one vote in the election of Mr. Graham, and each preferred share is entitled to one vote in the election of Mr. Birzer. With respect to TYN, TTO and TPZ, each common share is entitled to one vote in the election of Mr. Graham and one vote in the election of Mr. Birzer.

BOARD RECOMMENDATION

The Board of Directors of each of TYG and TYY unanimously recommends that the common and preferred stockholders of that Company vote “for” Mr. Graham as a director and that the preferred stockholders of that Company vote “for” Mr. Birzer as a director. The Board of Directors of TYN, TTO and TPZ unanimously recommends that the common stockholders of that Company vote “for” Mr. Graham as a director and “for” Mr. Birzer as a director.

PROPOSAL TWO

APPROVAL TO SELL COMMON SHARES

BELOW NET ASSET VALUE

Each of TYG, TYY, TYN and TPZ is a closed-end management investment company under the 1940 Act and is generally prohibited from issuing its common shares at a price below the net asset value per share ("NAV"), subject to certain exceptions. One of these exceptions would allow each of these Companies to sell its common shares below NAV if they obtain stockholder approval.

Each of TYG, TYY, TYN and TPZ is seeking approval of this proposal so that it may, in one or more public or private offerings of its common stock, sell or otherwise issue shares of its common stock, not exceeding 25% of its then outstanding common stock, at a price below its then current NAV, subject to certain conditions discussed below. If approved for a Company, the authorization would be effective for that Company for a period of one year or until the date of the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders for that Company, whichever is earlier.

The Board of Directors of each of TYG, TYY, TYN and TPZ, including a majority of each Company's independent directors, has approved this proposal as in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and recommends it to the stockholders for their approval.

Reasons to Offer Common Stock Below NAV

The global financial crisis has impacted each Company's ability to access the debt and equity capital markets to fund investment opportunities. The amount the Companies may borrow or finance through the issuance of preferred stock is also limited under the 1940 Act. Each of the Company's credit facilities with U.S. Bank, N.A. as lender, agent and lead arranger also requires that it abide by the leverage limitations of the 1940 Act.

Current global economic conditions have created, and the Companies believe will continue to create, favorable opportunities to invest at attractive risk-adjusted returns, including opportunities that, all else being equal, could prove to be accretive to the Companies total return over the long term. In addition, each of the Companies also believes situations may arise in which it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to issue its common shares below NAV to retire outstanding leverage. Because each of the Companies generally attempts to remain fully invested and does not maintain cash for purposes of making investments or retiring leverage, each Company needs to be able to maintain consistent access to equity capital. Stockholder approval of this proposal for a Company to sell its common shares below NAV, subject to the conditions set forth herein, is expected to provide that Company such access.

The following table lists the high and low sales prices for the common stock of each of TYG, TYY, TYN and TPZ, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, and the closing sales price as a percentage of NAV for its two previous fiscal years (or since its initial public offering for TPZ). On March 25, 2010, the closing sales price of each Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $32.00 per share for TYG, $25.20 per share for TYY, $23.66 per share for TYN and $21.21 per share for TPZ.

(1)	NAV is determined as of the last day in the relevant quarter and therefore may not reflect the net asset value per share on the date of the high and low sales prices. The net asset values shown are based on outstanding shares at the end of each period.

Examples of Dilutive Effect of the Issuance of Shares Below NAV

The following table illustrates the reduction to NAV and dilution that would be experienced by a nonparticipating stockholder in three different hypothetical offerings of different sizes and levels of discount to NAV, although it is not possible to predict the level of market price decline that may occur. Actual sales prices and discounts may differ from the presentation below; provided the Company will not

issue common shares at a price that, after deducting offering expenses and commissions, reflects a discount to NAV of more than 10%.

The examples assume that company XYZ has 1,000,000 common shares outstanding, $15,000,000 in total assets and $5,000,000 in total liabilities. The current net asset value and NAV are thus $10,000,000 and $10.00. The table illustrates the dilutive effect on nonparticipating Stockholder A of (1) an offering of 50,000 shares (5% of the outstanding shares) at $9.50 per share after offering expenses and commission (a 5% discount to NAV), (2) an offering of 100,000 shares (10% of the outstanding shares) at $9.00 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 10% discount to NAV) and (3) an offering of 200,000 shares (20% of the outstanding shares) at $9.00 per share after offering expenses and commissions (a 10% discount to NAV). The table assumes offering expenses and commissions of 5%.

Conditions to Sale Below NAV

If stockholders approve this proposal, each of TYG, TYY, TYN and TPZ will only issue shares of its common stock at a price below NAV pursuant to this stockholder proposal if the following conditions are met:

a majority of the Company's directors who have no financial interest in the transaction and a majority of the Company's independent directors have determined that any such sale would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders; and

a majority of the Company's directors who have no financial interest in the transaction and a majority of the Company's independent directors, in consultation with the underwriter or underwriters of the offering if it is to be underwritten, have determined in good faith, and as of a time immediately prior to the first solicitation by or on behalf of the Company of firm commitments to purchase such common stock or immediately prior to the issuance of such common stock, that the price at which such shares of common stock are to be sold is not less

than a price which closely approximates the market value of those shares of common stock, less any distributing commission or discount.

if the net proceeds of any such sale are to be used to make investments, a majority of the Company's directors who have no financial interest in the transaction and a majority of the Company's independent directors, has made a determination, based on information and a recommendation from the Adviser, that they reasonably expect that the investment(s) to be made will lead to a long-term increase in distribution growth.

the price per common share in any such sale, after deducting offering expenses and commissions, reflects a discount to NAV, as determined at any time within two business days prior to the pricing of the common stock to be sold, of no more than 10%.

For these purposes, directors will not be deemed to have a financial interest solely by reason of their ownership of the Company's common stock.

As discussed below under the caption “More Information About the Meeting – Investment Advisory Agreement,” with respect to each of TYG, TYY, TYN and TPZ, the Adviser is paid a fee based upon the Company’s average monthly Managed Assets (as defined below). Therefore, the Adviser’s interest in determining whether to recommend that a Company issue common shares below NAV may conflict with the interests of the Company and its stockholders, as such an issuance will result in an increase in a Company’s Managed Assets and ultimately in the fee paid to the Adviser. The Adviser is controlled directly or indirectly by officers and the interested director of each Company, among others. For that reason, any issuance of shares at a price below NAV must be approved by a majority of the disinterested directors.

Key Stockholder Considerations

Before voting on this proposal or giving proxies with regard to this matter, each of TYG’s, TYY’s, TYN’s and TPZ’s common stockholders should consider the dilutive effect of the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock at less than NAV per share on the NAV per outstanding share of common stock. Any sale of common stock at a price below NAV would result in an immediate dilution of the NAV per outstanding share to existing common stockholders and may also adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock. There is a connection between the common share sale price and NAV because when stock is sold at a sale price below NAV per share, the resulting increase in the number of outstanding shares is not accompanied by a proportionate increase in the net assets of the Company. As discussed above, it should be noted that the maximum number of common shares issuable below NAV that could result in such dilution is limited to 25% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock.

Common stockholders of a Company should also consider that holders of the Company’s common stock have no subscription, preferential or preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of the common stock proposed to be authorized for issuance, and thus any future issuance of common stock will dilute such stockholders’ holdings of common stock as a percentage of shares outstanding to the extent stockholders do not purchase sufficient shares in the offering to maintain their percentage interest. Further, if current stockholders of a Company either do not purchase any shares in an offering conducted by the Company or do not purchase sufficient shares in the offering to maintain their percentage interest, regardless of whether such offering is above or below the then current NAV, their percentage of the Company’s distributions and their voting power will be diluted.

Common stockholders should also consider the impact that issuances of shares of common stock below NAV have on each Company’s expense ratio. In general, assuming that a fund’s expenses consist of both fixed and variable costs, any time the fund issues shares the expense ratio should decrease because the fixed costs are spread over a larger amount of assets. If a Company issues shares of common stock

below NAV, assuming its expenses consist of both fixed and variable costs, the Company’s expense ratio will decrease; however, it will not decrease as much as it would have had the shares been issued at NAV.

Finally, any sale of substantial amounts of a Company's common stock in the open market may adversely affect the market price of its common stock. In addition, future sales of a Company's common stock to the public may create a potential market overhang, which is the existence of a large block of shares readily available for sale that could lead the market to discount the value of shares held by other investors.

Required Vote

For each of TYG, TYY, TYN and TPZ, the proposal must be approved by both (a) the affirmative vote of a majority of all common stockholders of record, as of the record date, and (b) the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voted, in person or by proxy, at the meeting by the holders of common stock and the holders of preferred stock (if any), voting together as a single class. If both approvals are not obtained, the proposal will not pass.

Solely for the purpose of determining whether a majority of the number of common stockholders of record of a Company approved the proposal as required in (a) above, the number of common shares held by any single stockholder will not be relevant. For the purpose of determining whether a majority of the number of common stockholders of record of a Company approved the proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, recorded by record owners will have the effect of a vote against the proposal.

With respect to each Company, solely for the purposes of determining whether a majority of the shares voted by the stockholders entitled to vote approved this proposal as required in (b) above, each common share, and in the case of TYG and TYY, each preferred share, is entitled to one vote, and abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as shares voted and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

BOARD RECOMMENDATION

The Board of Directors of each of TYG, TYY, TYN and TPZ unanimously recommends that stockholders of the Company vote “for” the proposal to allow the Company to sell its common shares below net asset value.

PROPOSAL THREE

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors of each Company recommends that the stockholders of the Company ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) as the independent registered certified public accountants (“independent auditors”), to audit the accounts of the Company for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2010. E&Y’s selection was approved by each Company’s Audit Committee (Audit and Valuation Committee in the case of TTO and TPZ). Their selection also was ratified and approved by the Board of Directors of each Company, including a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and who are “independent” as defined in the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

E&Y has audited the financial statements of each Company since prior to each Company’s commencement of business (TYG in February 2004; TYY in May 2005; TYN in October 2005; TTO in December 2005 and TPZ in July 2009) and does not have any direct financial interest or any material indirect financial interest in any of the Companies. A representative of E&Y is expected to be available

at the meeting and to have the opportunity to make a statement and respond to appropriate questions from the stockholders. Each Company’s Audit Committee (Audit and Valuation Committee in the case of TTO and TPZ) meets twice each year with representatives of E&Y to discuss the scope of their engagement, review the financial statements of the Company and the results of their examination.

Required Vote

E&Y will be ratified as a Company’s independent registered public accounting firm by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voted, in person or by proxy, at the meeting by the holders of common stock and the holders of preferred stock (if any), voting together as a single class. With respect to each of TYG and TYY, each common share and each preferred share is entitled to one vote on this proposal. With respect to TYN, TTO and TPZ, each common share is entitled to one vote on this proposal. For the purposes of the vote on this proposal for each Company, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as shares voted and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

BOARD RECOMMENDATION

The Board of Directors of each Company unanimously recommends that stockholders of the Company vote “for” the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s Independent Public Accounting Firm.

PROPOSAL FOUR

APPROVAL FOR TTO TO SELL OR OTHERWISE ISSUE WARRANTS OR SECURITIES TO SUBSCRIBE FOR OR CONVERTIBLE INTO SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND TO ISSUE THE COMMON SHARES UNDERLYING SUCH WARRANTS OR

SECURITIES UPON THEIR EXERCISE

General Information

The Board of Directors of TTO believes it would be in the Company’s and its stockholders’ best interests to have the ability to sell or otherwise issue warrants, securities (options or rights) to subscribe for or convertible into shares of its common stock. As a business development company, Section 61(a) (in conjunction with Section 18(d)) of the 1940 Act generally prohibits the Company from issuing a security that includes a warrant or a right to subscribe to or purchase its common stock unless it meets certain conditions, including obtaining stockholder approval. As a result, the Company is generally precluded from issuing warrants or securities to subscribe for or convertible into shares of common stock unless the Company obtains stockholder approval as to the issuance of such warrants or securities and meets certain other conditions.

Specifically, any warrants or securities must expire by their terms within ten (10) years and if such warrants or securities are accompanied by any other security of the Company at the time they are issued, then such warrants or securities cannot be transferred separately from that other security unless any class of the warrants or securities or the accompanying securities have been publicly distributed. In addition, the exercise or conversion price of the warrants or securities cannot be less than the current market value of the common shares of the Company at the date of issuance, or if no such market value exists, the current NAV of the common shares of the Company. The issuance of such warrants or securities must also be approved by a majority of the Company’ Board of Directors who have no financial interest in the transaction and a majority of the independent directors on the basis that such issuance is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Finally, the amount of common stock issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding warrants or securities cannot exceed 25% of the common shares of the Company outstanding when the warrants or securities are issued. The subsequent issuance of common shares of the Company upon exercise of properly authorized warrants or securities is permitted

without regard to the NAV or market value of the common shares of the Company at the time of exercise. If this proposal is approved, no further authorization from the stockholders will be solicited prior to the issuance of any securities in accordance with the terms of this proposal.

Background and Reasons

In order to provide TTO with flexibility to raise capital, the Company is seeking approval of this proposal so that it may, in one or more transactions, sell warrants or securities to subscribe for or convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, either as part of an offering of other securities issued by the Company, or independent of an offering of any securities of the Company. The stockholders of the Company previously granted the Company the authority to sell warrants or options to acquire common shares and to issue the common shares underlying such warrants or options upon their exercise at the Company’s 2009 annual meeting.

The Board of Directors, including a majority of the Company’s independent directors, has approved this proposal as in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and recommends it to the stockholders for their approval.

The Company believes that current global economic conditions have created, and the Company believes will continue to create, favorable opportunities to invest at attractive risk-adjusted returns. Because the Company generally attempts to remain fully invested and does not maintain excess cash, the Company is seeking flexibility to raise additional capital by selling warrants or securities to subscribe for or convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock and to issue the common shares underlying such warrants or securities so that it may take advantage of these opportunities. The Company also expects that situations may arise in which it is in the best interests of the Company to retire outstanding leverage, if any. Approval of this proposal would give the Company the flexibility to sell, either alone or in conjunction with the sale of another security of the Company, warrants or securities to subscribe for or convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock as part of the Company’s financing and capital raising activities, and to issue the common shares underlying such warrants or securities upon their exercise.

The Board of Directors of the Company believes that the Company having the flexibility to issue warrants or securities to subscribe for or convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock in certain instances will benefit all stockholders of the Company. This ability may provide the Company its most cost-effective way to raise capital to promptly capitalize on investment opportunities or to retire outstanding leverage, if any. The issuance of warrants or securities may also lower the Company’s expense ratio by spreading fixed costs over a larger asset base. The issuance of additional common shares resulting from the exercise of any warrants or securities might also enhance the liquidity of the Company’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange.

Dilution

Your interest in TTO may be diluted if it issues warrants or securities to subscribe for or convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company cannot state precisely the amount of any such dilution because it does not know at this time what number of shares of common stock would be issuable upon exercise or conversion of any such securities that are ultimately issued. Because the exercise or conversion price per share could be less than NAV at the time of exercise or conversion (including through the operation of anti-dilution protections that might provide for a decrease in the exercise or conversion price per share upon the issuance of additional shares) and because the Company would incur expenses in connection with any issuance of such securities, such issuance could result in a dilution of NAV at the time of exercise or conversion. The amount of any decrease in NAV is not predictable because it is not known at this time what the exercise or conversion price and NAV will be at the time of exercise or conversion or what number or amount (if any) of such securities will be issued. Such dilution could be substantial.

This proposal does not limit the Company’s ability to issue securities to subscribe for or convertible into shares of its common stock at an exercise or conversion price below NAV at the time of exercise or conversion (including through the operation of anti-dilution protections). The only requirement with respect to the exercise or conversion price is that it be not less than the greater of the market value per share of the Company’s common stock and the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance.

Before voting on this proposal or giving proxies with regard to this matter, stockholders should consider the potentially dilutive effect of the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise or conversion price that is less than NAV at the time of exercise or conversion and the expenses associated with such issuance. Any exercise of warrants or securities to subscribe for or convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise or conversion price that is below NAV at the time of such exercise or conversion, would result in an immediate dilution to existing common stockholders. This dilution would include reduction in NAV as a result of the proportionately greater decrease in a stockholder’s interest in the earnings and assets of the Company and voting interest in the Company than the increase in the assets of the Company resulting from such issuance.

The 1940 Act establishes a connection between common stock sale price and NAV because, when stock is issued at a price below NAV, the resulting increase in the number of outstanding shares is not accompanied by a proportionate increase in the net assets of the issuer. The Board of Directors of the Company will consider the potential dilutive effect of the issuance of warrants or securities to subscribe for or convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock when considering whether to authorize any such issuance.

Required Vote

This proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voted by common stockholders, in person or by proxy, at the meeting. For the purposes of the vote on this proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as shares voted and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

BOARD RECOMMENDATION

The Board of Directors of TTO unanimously recommends that stockholders of the Company vote “for” the proposal to allow the Company to sell warrants or securities to subscribe for or convertible into shares of common stock of the Company and to issue the common shares underlying such warrants or securities upon their exercise, subject to the conditions of this proposal.

Each Company’s Audit Committee or Audit and Valuation Committee, as applicable, has reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 with management.

(1)	For professional services rendered with respect to the audit of each Company’s financial statements and the review of each Company’s statutory and regulatory filings with the SEC.

(2)	For professional services rendered with respect to assurance related services in connection with each Company’s compliance with its rating agency guidelines.

(3)	For professional services for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.

(4)	TPZ commenced operations on July 31, 2009 and did not pay E&Y any fees in 2008.

The Audit Committee of each Company (Audit and Valuation Committee in the case of TTO and TPZ) has adopted pre-approval polices and procedures. Under these policies and procedures, the Audit Committee of each Company (Audit and Valuation Committee in the case of TTO and TPZ) pre-approves (i) the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, (ii) the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm to provide any non-audit services to the Company, (iii) the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm to provide any non-audit services to the Adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Company, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Company, and (iv) the fees and other compensation to be paid to the independent registered public accounting firm. With respect to each Company, the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Company (Audit and Valuation Committee in the case of TTO and TPZ) may grant the pre-approval of any engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm for non-audit services of less than $10,000, and such delegated pre-approvals will be presented to the full Audit Committee (Audit and Valuation Committee in the case of TTO and TPZ) at its next meeting for ratification. Under certain limited circumstances, pre-approvals are not required under securities law regulations for certain non-audit services below certain de minimus thresholds. Since each Company’s respective adoption of these policies and procedures, the Audit Committee of the Company (Audit and Valuation Committee in the case of TTO and TPZ) has pre-approved all audit and non-audit services provided to the Company by E&Y. None of these services provided by E&Y were approved by the Audit Committee (Audit and Valuation Committee in the case of TTO and TPZ) pursuant to the de minimus

exception under Rule 2.01(c)(7)(i)(C) or Rule 2.01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X. All of E&Y’s hours spent on auditing each Company’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of E&Y.

In each Company’s fiscal years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, the Adviser incurred approximately $0 and $13,610 in fees, respectively, payable to E&Y in connection with determining the Adviser’s compliance with GIPS® standards in 2006. Additionally, for services delivered in 2009, the Adviser paid $129,633 in 2009 for research and consultations relating to fund structure, tax and accounting, and audit-related fees relating to closed-end management investment companies prior to their initial public offerings, and $2,315 in 2008 for general tax consulting services delivered in 2008. These non-audit services were not required to be preapproved by each Company’s Audit Committee (Audit and Valuation Committee in the case of TTO and TPZ). No entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to any of the Companies, has paid to, or been billed for fees by, E&Y for non-audit services rendered to the Adviser or such entity during the Companies last two fiscal years.

The Audit Committee of each Company (Audit and Valuation Committee in the case of TTO and TPZ) has considered whether E&Y’s provision of services (other than audit services) to the Company, the Adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides

services to the Company is compatible with maintaining E&Y’s independence in performing audit services.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors of each Company knows of no other matters that are intended to be brought before the meeting. If other matters are presented for action, the proxies named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote on those matters in their sole discretion.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Investment Advisory Agreement. Tortoise Capital Advisors, LLC is each Company’s investment adviser. The Adviser’s address is 11550 Ash Street, Suite 300, Leawood, Kansas 66211. As of February 28, 2010, the Adviser had approximately $3.1 billion of client assets under management. The Adviser may be contacted at the address listed on the first page of this proxy statement.

Pursuant to the terms of an Advisory Agreement between TYG and the Adviser, dated September 15, 2009 (the "TYG Advisory Agreement"), TYG pays to the Adviser quarterly, as compensation for the services rendered by the Adviser, a fee equal on an annual basis to 0.95% of the Company's average monthly Managed Assets. In its last fiscal year, TYG incurred $7,518,220 in net fees due to the Adviser under the TYG Advisory Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of an Advisory Agreement between TYY and the Adviser, dated September 15, 2009 (the "TYY Advisory Agreement"), TYY pays to the Adviser a fee equal on an annual basis to 0.95% annually of TYY’s average monthly Managed Assets for such services. In its last fiscal year, TYY incurred $4,378,566 in fees due to the Adviser under the TYY Advisory Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of an Advisory Agreement between TYN and the Adviser, dated September 15, 2009 (the “TYN Advisory Agreement”), TYN pays to the Adviser quarterly, as compensation for the services rendered by the Adviser, a fee equal on an annual basis to 1.00% of TYN’s average monthly Managed Assets. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the fee equal to 0.10% of the average monthly Managed Assets for the period from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010 and to waive fees in the amount of 0.05 percent of average monthly Managed Assets from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011. In its last fiscal year, TYN incurred $815,124 in net fees due to the Adviser under the TYN Advisory Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of an investment advisory agreement between TTO and the Adviser, dated September 15, 2009 (the “Advisory Agreement”), TTO pays the Adviser a fee consisting of two components - a base management fee and an incentive fee. The base management fee is paid quarterly in arrears, and is equal to 0.375% (1.5% annualized) of TTO’s average monthly Managed Assets for such quarter.

The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, the investment income fee, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and will equal 15% of the excess, if any, of TTO’s net investment income for the fiscal quarter over a quarterly hurdle rate equal to 2% (8% annualized) of TTO’s average monthly net assets for the quarter.

The second part of the incentive fee, the capital gains fee, will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or, upon termination of the Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and will equal (i) 15% of (a) TTO’s net realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from the commencement of TTO’s operations on December 8, 2005 to the end of each fiscal year, less (b) any unrealized capital depreciation at the end of such fiscal year, less (ii) the aggregate amount of all capital gains fees paid to the Adviser in prior fiscal years. The calculation of the capital gains fee does not include any capital gains that result from that portion of any scheduled periodic distributions made possible by the normally recurring cash flow from the operations of portfolio companies (“Expected Distributions”) that are characterized by TTO as return of capital for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) purposes. In that regard, any such return of capital will not be treated as a decrease in the cost basis of an investment for purposes of calculating the capital gains fee. This does not apply to any portion of any distribution from a portfolio company that is not an Expected Distribution.

The Adviser agreed to reimburse TTO for expenses incurred in 2009, and has agreed that it will reimburse TTO for expenses incurred beginning January 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2010, in each

case in an amount equal to an annual rate of 0.25% of TTO’s average monthly Managed Assets. In fiscal year 2009, the Company incurred approximately $1,126,327 in base management fees due to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, net of $225,266 in expenses reimbursed by the Adviser. During the year ended November 30, 2009, TTO accrued no investment income incentive fees or capital gains incentive fees. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the capital gains incentive fee is paid annually only if there are realization events and only if the calculation defined in the agreement results in an amount due. As of November 30, 2009, no amount was required to be paid for capital gains incentive fees.

TTO has also entered into an Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser acts as TTO’s administrator and performs (or oversees or arranges for the performance of) the administrative services necessary for TTO’s operation, including without limitation providing TTO with equipment, clerical, book keeping and record keeping services. For these services TTO pays the Adviser a fee equal to 0.07% of TTO’s aggregate average daily Managed Assets up to and including $150 million, 0.06% of aggregate average daily Managed Assets on the next $100 million, 0.05% of aggregate average daily Managed Assets on the next $250 million and 0.02% on the balance of TTO’s aggregate average daily Managed Assets. The continuation of the administration agreement was approved by the Board of Directors, including the independent directors, on November 9, 2009.

The Adviser has entered into a sub-Advisory Agreement with Kenmont. Kenmont is a registered investment Adviser with experience investing in privately-held and public companies in the U.S. energy and power sectors. Kenmont provides additional contacts and enhances the number and range of potential investment opportunities in which TTO has the opportunity to invest. The Adviser compensates Kenmont for the services it provides to TTO. The Adviser also indemnifies and holds the Company harmless from any obligation to pay or reimburse Kenmont for any fees or expenses incurred by Kenmont in providing such services to TTO. Kenmont will be indemnified by the Adviser for certain claims related to the services it provides and obligations assumed under the sub-advisory agreement. Based on a Schedule 13G amendment filed on February 16, 2010, entities managed by Kenmont own approximately 7.3% of TTO’s common shares (including 281,666 shares of common stock that may be acquired through warrants that are currently exercisable).

Pursuant to the terms of an Advisory Agreement between TPZ and the Adviser, dated September 15, 2009 (the "TPZ Advisory Agreement"), TPZ pays to the Adviser quarterly, as compensation for the services rendered by the Adviser, a fee equal on an annual basis to 0.95% of the Company's average monthly Managed Assets. The Advisor has agreed to a fee waiver of 0.15% of Managed Assets through July 31, 2010, 0.10% of Managed Assets from August 1, 2010 through July 31, 2011 and 0.05% of Managed Assets from August 1, 2011 through July 31, 2012. In its last fiscal year, TPZ incurred $405,320 in net fees due to the Adviser under the TPZ Advisory Agreement.

With respect to each Company, “Managed Assets” means the total assets of the Company (including any assets attributable to leverage and excluding any net deferred tax asset) minus accrued liabilities other than (1) net deferred tax liability or debt entered into for the purpose of leverage and (2) the aggregate liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred shares.

The Adviser is wholly-owned by Tortoise Holdings, LLC (“Tortoise Holdings”). Mariner Holdings, LLC owns a majority interest in Tortoise Holdings, LLC with the remaining interests held by the five members of the Adviser’s investment committee, H. Kevin Birzer, Zachary A. Hamel, Kenneth P. Malvey, Terry C. Matlack and David J. Schulte, who are also officers of each Company, and certain other senior employees of the Adviser. Each of Messrs. Birzer, Hamel, Malvey, Matlack and Schulte are employed by the Adviser and have indirect ownership and financial interests in the Adviser. As a result, they may each be deemed to have an indirect material interest in fees paid to the Adviser.

As part of the transaction in September 2009 in which Tortoise Holding acquired a majority interest in the Adviser, Mr. Birzer purchased units of membership interest in and from Tortoise Holdings, for consideration consisting of his interest in the Adviser transferred to Tortoise Holdings and cash.

Quorum. With respect to each Company, the presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast (without regard to class) constitutes a quorum. For purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, shares present at the annual meeting that are not voted, or abstentions, and broker non-votes (which occur when a broker has not received directions from customers and does not have discretionary authority to vote the customers' shares) will be treated as shares that are present at the meeting but have not been voted.

With respect to each Company, if a quorum is not present in person or by proxy at the meeting, the chairman of the meeting or the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, present in person or by proxy, have the power to adjourn the meeting to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date without notice other than announcement at the meeting.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act require each Company’s directors and officers, the Adviser, affiliated persons of the Adviser and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file forms reporting their affiliation with the Company and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the Company’s shares with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange. Those persons and entities are required by SEC regulations to furnish the applicable Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on a review of those forms furnished to the Company, each Company believes that its directors and officers, the Adviser and affiliated persons of the Adviser have complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during the last fiscal year, except that Messrs. Birzer, Matlack, Hamel, Malvey, Schulte, Ciccotello, Graham and Heath were late in reporting shares of TYN acquired for their shares of Tortoise Gas and Oil Corporation (“TGOC”) in the reorganization of TGOC into TYN in September 2009. These shares were reported on Form 5s filed prior to January 14, 2010. In addition, Mariner Holdings, LLC and certain of its affiliates, which are affiliates of the Adviser, were late in filing Form 3s for each Company in connection with the September 2009 transaction which resulted in a change in control of the Adviser. The Form 3s for these entities were filed in October 2009 and March 2010. To the knowledge of management of each Company, no person is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) of more than 10% of a class of such Company’s equity securities.

ADMINISTRATOR

TYG, TYY, TYN and TPZ have each entered into administration agreements with US Bancorp Fund Services, LLC whose principal business address is 615 E. Michigan Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202.

Stockholders are able to send communications to the Board of Directors of each Company. Communications should be addressed to the Secretary of the applicable Company at its principal offices at 11550 Ash Street, Suite 300, Leawood, Kansas 66211. The Secretary will forward any communications received directly to the Board of Directors.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT, CODE OF ETHICS

AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE POLICY

TTO has adopted a code of business conduct, a code of ethics which applies to its principal executive officer and principal financial officer and a corporate governance policy. Each is available on TTO’s website (www.tortoiseadvisers.com/tto.cfm) or in print to any stockholder who requests it from the Secretary of TTO at 11550 Ash Street, Suite 300, Leawood, Kansas 66211.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2010 ANNUAL MEETING

Method for Including Proposals in a Company’s Proxy Statement. Under the rules of the SEC, if you want to have a proposal included in a Company’s proxy statement for its next annual meeting of stockholders, that proposal must be received by the Secretary of the Company at 11550 Ash Street, Suite 300, Leawood, Kansas 66211, not later than 5:00 p.m., Central Time on December 10, 2010. Such proposal must comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. Timely submission of a proposal does not mean the proposal will be included in the proxy material sent to stockholders.

Other Proposals and Nominations. If you want to nominate a director or have other business considered at a Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders but do not want those items included in our proxy statement, you must comply with the advance notice provision of the Company’s Bylaws. Under each Company’s Bylaws, nominations for director or other business proposals to be addressed at the Company’s next annual meeting may be made by a stockholder who has delivered a notice to the Secretary of the Company at 11550 Ash Street, Suite 300, Leawood, Kansas 66211, no earlier than December 10, 2010 in the case of TYG and November 10, 2010 in the case of each of TYY, TYN, TTO and TPZ, nor later than 5:00 p.m. Central Time on January 9, 2011 in the case of TYG and Deember 10, 2010 in the case of each of TYY, TYN, TTO and TPZ. The stockholder must satisfy certain requirements set forth in the Company’s Bylaws and the notice must contain specific information required by the Company’s Bylaws. With respect to nominees for director, the notice must include, among other things, the name, age, business address and residence address of any nominee for director, certain information regarding such person’s ownership of Company shares, and all other information relating to the nominee as is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies in an election contest or as otherwise required by Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act. With respect to other business to be brought before the meeting, a notice must include, among other things, a description of the business and any material interest in such business by the stockholder and certain associated persons proposing the business. Any stockholder wishing to make a proposal should carefully read and review the applicable Company’s Bylaws. A copy of each Company’s Bylaws may be obtained by contacting the Secretary of the Company at 1-866-362-9331 or by writing the Secretary of the Company at 11550 Ash Street, Suite 300, Leawood, Kansas 66211. Timely submission of a proposal does not mean the proposal will be allowed to be brought before the meeting.

These advance notice provisions are in addition to, and separate from, the requirements that a stockholder must meet in order to have a proposal included in any Company’s proxy statement under the rules of the SEC.

A proxy granted by a stockholder will give discretionary authority to the proxies to vote on any matters introduced pursuant to the above advance notice Bylaw provisions, subject to applicable rules of the SEC.

	By Order of the Board of Directors
