Credit default swap is tantamount to an insurance against a default. When there is a credit event, the buyer of CDS will get a payout from the seller. If this credit extension to noble represents a credit event, the buyers of CDS will get payouts on the company's $5b debt.
Basically, the CDS doesn't affect the underlying shares because CDS market is largely unregulated. If there is a default, you'll get the par value of your CDS as a buyer. A buyer will have to pay an "insurance premium" to the seller for the CDS periodically for the risk transfer and is entitled to an "insurance payout" when there is a credit event.
