POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of August 1, 2005, among NOMURA HOME EQUITY LOAN, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), NOMURA CREDIT & CAPITAL, INC., a Delaware corporation, as seller (in such capacity, the “Seller”), WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS SERVICING LP, a Texas limited partnership, as servicer (the “Servicer”) and HSBC BANK, USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, not in its individual capacity, but solely as trustee (the “Trustee”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee in return for the Certificates.

REMIC I

As provided herein, the Trustee will make an election to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Trust Fund (exclusive of the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund, the Corridor Contract and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Swap Agreement) as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC I”. The Class R-I Interest will represent the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance, and for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for each of the REMIC I Regular Interests. None of the REMIC I Regular Interests will be certificated.
