Kman,
With that note I wonder if they'll be up and running again or just pay off there existing debt?

I'm no bankruptcy expert, but my understanding is that by filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, they'll be able to continue running their business without fear of assets being seized by creditors through lawsuits.
