The sale and purchase of the Series 2019-2 Notes to be purchased by the applicable Purchasers shall occur, subject to the terms and conditions of the Note Purchase Agreement and this NPA Supplement, on the Closing Date at the offices of Baker Botts L.L.P., 910 Louisiana St., Houston, TX 77002 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time. On the Closing Date, the Issuer will deliver to each Purchaser the Series 2019-2 Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Class B Note (or such greater number of Class B Notes in denominations of at least $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess of thereof as such Purchaser may request or such other amounts as set forth in the applicable Indenture Supplement) dated as of the Closing Date and registered in the applicable Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee as set forth in Annex A hereto), against delivery by such Purchaser to the Issuer or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor as set forth in this NPA Supplement.

Attached hereto as Annex B to this NPA Supplement is a schedule (including all material assumptions) of the Scheduled Outstanding Note Balance for each subsequent Payment Date for (a) the Series 2019-2 Notes and (b) the Class A Notes and Class B Notes of all Series.

The Sunnova Parties and the Purchasers hereby reaffirm that each of their respective representations and warranties contained in the Note Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are true and correct in all material respects (or, if already limited by materiality qualifiers, are true and correct in all respects) as of the date hereof (except to the extent expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date).

Section 4. Amendments to and Waivers of the Note Purchase Agreement.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby waive any obligation of the Issuer under Section 1(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement to deliver a draft NPA Supplement to the Purchasers no less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the Closing Date set forth in this NPA Supplement.

(b) With respect to the issuance and sale of Series 2019-2 Notes to the Purchasers, each of the parties hereto hereby waive any obligation of any Purchaser under Section 1(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement to purchase its Pro Rata Share of any Series 2019-2 Notes and the parties hereto agree that the Issuer is under no obligation to sell such Series 2019-2 Notes based on any Pro Rata Share; provided that this Section 4(b) shall not limit the obligation of any Purchaser to severally purchase Series 2019-2 Notes in the principal amounts set forth beside its respective name in Annex A hereto pursuant to Section 1(c) of this NPA Supplement.

(c) From and after the date hereof, Exhibit A to the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and replaced with Exhibit A attached to this NPA Supplement.
