Subordinated indenture is the key! Read the articles in the subordinated indenture(s)!
"Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or bankruptcy of Holdings, the property trustee, as holder of the subordinated debentures, would be a subordinated creditor of Holdings, subordinated in right of payment to all senior debt as set forth in the subordinated indenture, but entitled to receive payment in full of principal and interest before any stockholders of Holdings receive payments or distributions."

Why put line item 6 into the clarification letter? Someone was telling Barclays to assume the sub-debt! Barclays wanted to pour concrete on this topic and not assume the sub-debt!
The prospectus spelled out the rights of subordinated debt for LBI and LBHI. Look at the sub-debt indentures for LBI and LBHI, articles 10 and 8, respectively! The indentures spell out how sub-debt follows the transfer of holdings assets. Barclays is not stupid about cure cost. Kelly was on target about cure cost!

"This action is related to claims LBHI has been making in demands to loan originators over the past year. LBHI has taken the position that loan originators that purchased certain assets of other loan originators that originated the loans that were the subject of the Fannie Mae settlement are also responsible for liabilities of those loan originators. It has convinced the bankruptcy court to force these alleged successor companies into the Alternative Dispute Resolution procedure it has in place which requires loan originators to mediate with LBHI in New York. Now, LBHI is filing actions against these alleged successors based on asset sale agreements."
