Answer 1

Article 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code is designed to prevent companies from shutting down. By declaring that one's liabilities exceed assets, a company under Chapter 11 can abrogate contracts to vendors and labor unions. The company, now under direction of an executor and the creditor's council, may continue to operate until it can get its finances together. At that point, it can leave bankruptcy protection and resume operations as a normal company.

Answer 2
