Exclamation Two short sentences

These two sentences are from my exercise book. They are completely without context ... just examples taken from a long list of sentences using "para". I don't understand the meaning of these two.

5) El taxi llegó cuando estaba para salir caminando.
My attempt at understanding it: The taxi arrived when it was for going walking.

6) Este trabajo es para el lunes a las cuatro en punto.
My attempt at understanding it: This work is for Monday at four o'clock on the dot.

I am positive that my understandings are wrong because they make absolutely no sense.............

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!!
