If money for prepayment is on deposit with the <br />Paying Agent on the Prepayment Date following the giving of that notice (unless the requirement of <br />that notice is waived as stated above), interest on the principal amount prepaid shall cease to accrue <br />on the Prepayment Date, and upon the request of the Director of Finance the Original Purchaser of <br />the Notes shall arrange for the delivery of the Notes at the designated office of the Paying Agent for <br />prepayment, surrender and cancellation. <br />Section 4.
