3        apprehension of another felon or testified truthfully
4        on behalf of another prosecution of a felony; and
5            (H) whether departure is in the interest of the
6        person's rehabilitation, including employment or
7        educational or vocational training, after taking into
8        account any past rehabilitation efforts or
9        dispositions of probation or supervision, and the
10        defendant's cooperation or response to rehabilitation.
