                             ----------------------

         This Agreement made December 19, 2003 by and between Tortoise Energy
Infrastructure Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and
__________ ("Subscriber");

                              W I T N E S S E T H:
                              - - - - - - - - - -

         WHEREAS, the Company has been formed for the purposes of carrying on
business as a closed-end non-diversified management investment company; and

         WHEREAS, Subscriber wishes to subscribe for and purchase, and the
Company wishes to sell to Subscriber, [___] common shares for a purchase price
of $23.875 per share.

         NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

         1. Subscriber subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company
[___] common shares for a purchase price of $23.875 per share. Subscriber agrees
to make payment for these shares at such time as demand for payment may be made
by an officer of the Company.

         2. The Company agrees to issue and sell said shares to Subscriber
promptly upon its receipt of the purchase price.

         3. To induce the Company to accept its subscription and issue the
shares subscribed for, Subscriber represents that he is informed as follows:

                  (a) That the shares being subscribed for have not been and
         will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities
         Act");

                  (b) That the shares will be sold by the Company in reliance on
         and pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, an exemption from
         the registration requirements of the Securities Act for transactions by
         an issuer not involving any public offering;

                  (c) That the Company's reliance upon the exemption from the
         registration requirements of the Securities Act is predicated in part
         on the representation and agreements contained in this Subscription
         Agreement;

                  (d) That when issued, the shares will be "restricted
         securities" as defined in paragraph (a)(3) of Rule 144 of the General
         Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") and cannot
         be sold or transferred by Subscriber unless the shares are subsequently
         registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such
         registration is available; and

                  (e) That there currently do not appear to be any exemptions
         under the Securities Act or rules thereunder from the registration
         provisions of the Securities Act available to Subscriber for resale for
         the shares. In the future, certain exemptions may

         become available, including an exemption for limited sales after one
         year in accordance with the conditions of Rule 144.

Subscriber understands that a primary purpose of the information acknowledged in
subparagraphs (a) through (e) above is to put him on notice as to restrictions
on the transferability of the shares.

         4. To further induce the Company to accept his/her subscription and
issue the shares subscribed for, Subscriber:

                  (a) Represents and warrants that the shares subscribed for are
         being and will be acquired for investment for his own account and not
         on behalf of any other person or persons and not with a view to, or for
         sale in connection with, any public distribution thereof;

                  (b) Agrees that any certificates representing the shares
         subscribed for may bear a legend substantially in the following form:

                  The shares represented by this certificate have been acquired
         for investment and have not been registered under the Securities Act of
         1933 or any other federal or state securities law. These shares may not
         be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred unless registered
         under said securities laws or unless some exemption from registration
         is available;

                  (c) Represents and warrants that Subscriber, due to
         Subscriber's relationship or position with the Company or affiliates of
         the Company, has had access to and the opportunity to examine documents
         and information relating to the Company and to ask questions and
         receive answers regarding the Company and Subscriber's purchase of the
         shares; and Subscriber further represents and warrants that Subscriber
         has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
         that Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
         investing in the Company; and

                  (d) Consents, as one of the holders of the Company's common
         shares who collectively comprise all of the Company's shareholders, and
         pursuant to Section 23(b)(2) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, to

         set forth in the Underwriting Agreement relating to the public offering
