1.Interest

SUNNOVA ENERGY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note (including any PIK Notes and increase in principal as a result of the payment of PIK Interest) at the annual rate of 6.00% payable in cash (“cash interest”) plus (2) 6.00% (the “PIK Interest”), payable by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Notes represented by one or more Global Notes or, with respect to Definitive Notes represented by individual certificates, if any, by issuing additional “PIK Notes” in certificated form, in each case by rounding up to the nearest $1.00. The Issuer shall pay interest quarterly on [March 30], [June 30], [September 30] and [December 30] of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing [June 30, 2017]. Any PIK Notes issued in certificated form will be dated as of the applicable interest payment date and will bear interest from and after such date. Following an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Notes as a result of a PIK Payment, the Notes will accrue interest on such increased principal amount from and after the related interest payment date of such PIK Payment. References herein and in the Indenture to the “principal amount” of the Notes include any increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Notes as a result of a PIK Payment. On any interest payment date on which the Issuers pay PIK Interest with respect to a Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note will increase by an amount equal to the interest payable, rounded up to the nearest $1.00, to be allocated for the credit of the holders pro rata in accordance with their interests and rounded to the nearest $1.00 in accordance with the procedures of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the date of initial issuance, until the principal hereof is due;provided, that, if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a360-day year of twelve30-day months. The Issuer shall pay interest (including, to the extent legally allowed, post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest (including, to the extent legally allowed, post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.

2.Method of Payment

The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders at the close of business on [March 15], [June 15], [September 15] and [December 15] (each a “Record Date”) immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled after the Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders must surrender Notes to the Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal,

premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or any successor depository. The Issuer shall make all payments in respect of a Definitive Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

At all times, PIK Interest on the Notes will be payable: (i) with respect to Notes represented by one or more Global Notes registered in the name of, or held by, DTC (or any successor depositary) or its nominee on the relevant record date, by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Global Notes, effective as of the applicable interest payment date, by an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable interest period (rounded up to the nearest whole dollar) (“PIK Payment”) at the request of the Issuers to authenticate or increase the Global Note and (ii) with respect to Definitive Notes, if any, by issuing PIK Notes in certificated form, dated as of the applicable interest payment date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable interest period (rounded up to the nearest whole dollar), and the Trustee will, at the request of the Issuers, authenticate and deliver such PIK Notes in certificated form for original issuance to the holders on the relevant Record Date, as shown by the records of the register of holders.

15.Defaults and Remedies

If an Event of Default (other than a Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 33% in principal amount of all outstanding Notes under the Indenture by notice to the Issuer (with a copy to the Trustee) may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes under the Indenture to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders. The holders of a majority in principal amount of all outstanding Notes under the Indenture may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders unless such holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense and certain other conditions are complied with. No holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture unless (i) such holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) holders of at least 33% in principal amount of all the outstanding Notes under the Indenture have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy, (iii) such holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity

satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity, and (v) the holders of a majority in principal amount of all the outstanding Notes under the Indenture have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of all outstanding Notes under the Indenture are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

16.Trustee Dealings with the Issuer

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

17.No Recourse Against Others

No director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator or holder of any Equity Interests (except, if applicable, HoldCo) in the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent companies, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the Notes or the Indenture, as applicable, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
