ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
    Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware
corporation may indemnify  any persons,  including officers  and directors,  who
are,  or  are threatened  to  be made,  parties  to any  threatened,  pending or
completed  legal   action,  suit   or  proceeding,   whether  civil,   criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such
corporation),  by reason of  the fact that such  person is or  was an officer or
director of  such corporation,  or is  or was  serving at  the request  of  such
corporation  as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
enterprise. The  indemnity may  include  expenses (including  attorneys'  fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such
officer  or director acted in good faith  and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not  opposed to the corporation's  best interests and, for  criminal
proceedings,  had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was illegal. A
Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or  in
the  right  of  the  corporation  under  the  same  conditions,  except  that no
indemnification is  permitted  without  judicial  approval  if  the  officer  or
director  is  adjudged to  be liable  to  the corporation.  Where an  officer or
director is successful on the merits or  otherwise in the defense of any  action
referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which
such officer and director actually and reasonably incurred.
 
    The  Restated Certificate of  Incorporation of The  Prudential Home Mortgage
Securities Company, Inc., provides for indemnification of officers and directors
to the full extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
    The Pooling and Servicing Agreements for each Series of Certificates provide
either that the Registrant and the partners, directors, officers, employees  and
agents  of the Registrant, or  that the Sole Servicer,  any subservicer, and the
partners, directors, officers, employees and agents of the Sole Servicer or  any
subservicer, will be entitled to indemnification by the Trust Estate and will be
held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with
any  legal  action  relating  to  the Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement  or the
Certificates, other than any  loss, liability or expense  incurred by reason  or
willful  misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of his or
its duties  thereunder  or  by  reason  of reckless  disregard  of  his  or  its
obligations and duties thereunder.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.
 
    (a) Undertaking pursuant to Rule 415.
 
    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
        (1)  to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
    a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
 
            (i) to include any  prospectus required by  Section 10(a)(3) of  the
       Securities Act of 1933;
 
           (ii)  to reflect in the Prospectus  any facts or events arising after
       the effective  date of  the Registration  Statement (or  the most  recent
       post-effective   amendment  thereof)   which,  individually   or  in  the
       aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
       the Registration Statement;
 
           (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of
       distribution not previously  disclosed in the  Registration Statement  or
       any material change of such information in the Registration Statement.
 
        (2)  that,  for  the  purpose of  determining  any  liability  under the
    Securities Act of 1933, each  such post-effective amendment shall be  deemed
    to  be  a  new registration  statement  relating to  the  securities offered
    therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
    be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
 
                                      II-2
<PAGE>
        (3) to remove from registration  by means of a post-effective  amendment
    any   of  the  securities  being  registered  which  remain  unsold  at  the
    termination of the offering.
 
    (b) Undertaking in respect of indemnification.
 
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities  Act
of  1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing  provisions , or otherwise, the  Registrant
has  been advised that in the opinion  of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against  public policy as expressed  in the Act and  is,
therefore,  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses  incurred
or  paid by a director,  officer or controlling person  of the Registrant in the
successful defense  of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is asserted  by  such
officer   or  controlling  person  in   connection  with  the  securities  being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled  by controlling  precedent, submit  to a  court of  appropriate
jurisdiction  the question whether such indemnification  by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

certifies that it has  reasonable grounds to  believe that it  meets all of  the
requirements  for filing  on Form  S-3 and  has duly  caused this Post-effective
Amendment No. 7 on Form S-3 to Form S-11 Registration Statement to be signed  on
its  behalf  by  the undersigned,  thereunto  duly  authorized, in  the  City of
Frederick, State of Maryland on May 8, 1996.

declared effective  on February  1,  1996, and  Post-Effective Amendment  No.  7
thereto  to be  filed with the  Commission on  the date hereof  (as amended, the
"Registration  Statement").   The   Registration   Statement   covers   Mortgage
Pass-Through  Certificates ("Certificates")  to be  sold by  The Prudential Home
Mortgage Securities  Company, Inc.  ("PHMSC") in  one or  more series  (each,  a
"Series")  of Certificates. Each  Series of Certificates will  be issued under a
separate pooling  and  servicing  agreement  (each,  a  "Pooling  and  Servicing
Agreement") among PHMSC, a trustee to be identified in the Prospectus Supplement
for  such Series of  Certificates (a "Trustee"),  and Securitized Asset Services
Corporation, as master servicer (the "Master Servicer"), or The Prudential  Home
Mortgage  Company, Inc., as sole servicer  of the Mortgage Loans ("PHMC"). Forms
of Pooling and Servicing Agreements are included as Exhibits to the Registration
Statement. Capitalized  terms used  and not  otherwise defined  herein have  the
respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Registration Statement.
    
 
    We  have examined originals  or copies certified  or otherwise identified to
our satisfaction  of  such documents  and  records  of PHMSC,  and  such  public
documents  and records as we  have deemed necessary as  a basis for the opinions
hereinafter expressed.
 
    Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
 
    1.  When a Pooling and Servicing Agreement for a Series of Certificates  has
       been  duly and  validly authorized,  executed and  delivered by  PHMSC, a
       Trustee and  the Master  Servicer  or PHMC,  such Pooling  and  Servicing
       Agreement will constitute a valid and legally binding agreement of PHMSC,
       enforceable  against  PHMSC  in  accordance with  its  terms,  subject to
       applicable bankruptcy, reorganization,  insolvency, moratorium and  other
       laws  affecting the enforcement  of rights of  creditors generally and to
       general principles of equity and the discretion of the court  (regardless
       of  whether enforceability is considered in  a proceeding in equity or at
       law); and
 
    2.  When a Pooling and Servicing Agreement for a Series of Certificates  has
       been  duly and  validly authorized,  executed and  delivered by  PHMSC, a
       Trustee and  the  Master  Servicer  or  PHMC,  and  the  Certificates  of

       such Series have been duly executed, authenticated, delivered and sold as
       contemplated  in the  Registration Statement,  such Certificates  will be
       legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and the holders
       of such Certificates will be entitled to the benefits of such Pooling and
       Servicing Agreement.
 
    We hereby  consent  to the  filing  of this  letter  as an  Exhibit  to  the
Registration  Statement  and to  the reference  to this  firm under  the heading
"Legal Matters" in the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration  Statement.
This  consent is not to be construed as  an admission that we are a person whose

Re:  Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
- --------------------------------
 
Gentlemen:
 
   
    We  have acted as your counsel in connection with the Registration Statement
(File No.  33-72966) filed  with  the Securities  and Exchange  Commission  (the
"Commission")  on December 15, 1993  pursuant to the Securities  Act of 1933, as
amended,  and  declared  effective   on  April  5,  1994   and  as  amended   by
Post-effective  Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Commission on May 4, 1994
and declared effective on  May 6, 1994, Post-effective  Amendment No. 2  thereto
filed  with the Commission  on June 8,  1994 and declared  effective on June 10,
1994, Post-effective Amendment No. 3 thereto  filed with the Commission on  July
28, 1994 and declared effective on July 28, 1994, Post-effective Amendment No. 4
thereto  filed with the Commission  on August 8, 1995  and declared effective on
August 9, 1995, Post-effective Amendment No. 5 thereto filed with the Commission
on November 3, 1995 and declared effective on November 16, 1995,  Post-effective
Amendment  No.  6 thereto  filed with  the  Commission on  January 26,  1996 and
declared effective  on February  1,  1996, and  Post-Effective Amendment  No.  7
thereto  to be  filed with the  Commission on  the date hereof  (as amended, the
"Registration Statement").  Capitalized terms  used  and not  otherwise  defined
herein  have the respective meanings ascribed  to such terms in the Registration
Statement.
    
 
    In rendering the opinion set forth  below, we have examined and relied  upon
the  following: (1) the Registration Statement,  the Prospectus and the forms of
Prospectus Supplement constituting  a part  thereof, each  substantially in  the
form being filed with the Commission; (2) the forms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreements  incorporated by reference as Exhibits to the Registration Statement;
and (3)  such other  documents, materials,  and authorities  as we  have  deemed
necessary in order to enable us to render our opinion set forth below.
 
    As  counsel  to  The  Prudential  Home  Mortgage  Securities  Company,  Inc.
("PHMSC"), we have  advised PHMSC  with respect  to certain  federal income  tax
aspects of the proposed issuance of the Certificates. Such advice has formed the
basis  for  the  description of  material  federal income  tax  consequences for
holders of  the Certificates  that appears  under the  heading "Certain  Federal
Income  Tax  Consequences" in  the Prospectus  and  under the  headings "Summary
Information--Federal Income Tax Status" and "Federal Income Tax  Considerations"
in  each  form of  Prospectus Supplement.  Such descriptions  do not  purport to
discuss all possible federal income  tax ramifications of the proposed  insuance
of  the Certificates, but, with respect to those federal income tax consequences
that are discussed, in our opinion, the description is accurate in all  material
respects.
 
    This opinion is based on facts and circumstances set forth in the Prospectus
and  each form of Prospectus  Supplement and in the  other documents reviewed by
us. Our opinion as to the matters set forth herein could change with respect  to
a  particular  Series  of Certificates  as  a  result of  changes  in  facts and
circumstances, changes in the terms of the documents reviewed by us, or  changes
in  the  law  subsequent  to  the date  hereof.  As  the  Registration Statement
contemplates Series of Certificates with numerous different characteristics, the
particular characteristics of each Series of Certificates must be considered  in
determining  the  applicability  of  this  opinion  to  a  particular  Series of
Certificates. The opinion contained in each Prospectus Supplement and Prospectus
prepared pursuant to the  Registration Statement is,  accordingly, deemed to  be
incorporated herein.
<PAGE>
    We  hereby  consent  to the  filing  of this  letter  as an  Exhibit  to the
Registration Statement  and to  the references  to our  firm under  the  heading
"Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the Prospectus. This consent is not
to  be construed as an admission that we  are a person whose consent is required
to be filed with the Registration Statement under the provisions of the Act.
 
                                          Very truly yours,
