FORMULA

a(n)= binomial(n+1, 3)*(n^3+15*n^2+86*n-120)/120, n >= 2.

G.f.: (x^2)*(1+3*x-5*x^2+2*x^3)/(1-x)^7 (numerator polynomial is N4(6, x) from A063421.)

a(0)=1, a(1)=10, a(2)=44, a(3)=135, a(4)=336, a(5)=728, a(6)=1428, a(n)=7*a(n-1)-21*a(n-2)+35*a(n-3)-35*a(n-4)+21*a(n-5)-7*a(n-6)+a(n-7) [From Harvey P. Dale, June 23 2011]
