Let $n$ be a positive integer. Denote $M = \{(x, y)|x, y \text{ are integers }, 1 \leq x, y \leq n\}$. Define function $f$ on $M$ with the following properties: a.) $f(x, y)$ takes non-negative integer value; b.) $\sum^n_{y=1} f(x, y) = n - 1$ for $1 \eq x \leq n$; c.) If $f(x_1, y_1)f(x2, y2) > 0$, then $(x_1 - x_2)(y_1 - y_2) \geq 0.$ Find $N(n)$, the number of functions $f$ that satisfy all the conditions. Give the explicit value of $N(4)$.
