  (4)  The offender's age prevents him from obtaining employment;

  (5)  The offender is responsible for the support of dependents, and the payment of such contribution constitutes an undue hardship on the offender;

  (6)  There are other extenuating circumstances as determined by the court to exempt or partially reduce such payments; or

  (7)  The offender has been transferred outside the state under an interstate compact adopted pursuant to law.
