Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 31, 2009, Mowood, LLC (“Mowood”), a subsidiary portfolio company of Tortoise Capital Resources Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a definitive Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Landfill Energy Systems LLC (“LES”) to sell Mowood’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Timberline Energy, LLC (“Timberline”) to LES.  Timberline is an owner and developer of projects that convert landfill gas to energy.

Upon receipt of the purchase price, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Mowood will assign its membership interest in Timberline to LES. The Company expects to receive a distribution from Mowood of between $9.0 and $9.3 million depending on closing adjustments to the purchase price. The Agreement also contains provisions for additional contingent payments by LES to Mowood over the next two years.  The Company could receive additional proceeds of up to $3.7 million based on these contingent payments and the escrow terms contained in the Agreement. The Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions and includes customary indemnification obligations.

Following the completion of the transaction, Mowood will continue to own and operate Omega Pipeline Company, LLC (“Omega”). Omega, a local distribution company, serves the natural gas and propane needs of Fort Leonard Wood and other customers in south central Missouri.

A copy of the press release announcing the transaction is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
