| (1) | SDSR 50 LLC (“SDSR”) holds 1,556 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which are convertible into 155,600 shares of Common Stock. Certain members of the Reporting Person are members of SDSR. The Reporting Person and SDSR believe that they are not a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the beneficial ownership of the securities held by any of them. |
| (2) | Represents (i) 77,800 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 778 shares of Series A Preferred Stock currently owned, (ii) 5,567,319 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 5,567,319 shares of Series B Preferred Stock currently owned, (iii) 1,131,221 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 1,131,221 shares of Series C Preferred Stock that the Reporting Person has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase until November 5, 2022, (iv) 3,393,663 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 3,393,663 Warrants the Reporting Person has the right to purchase until November 5, 2022, and (v) 1,651,709 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible note (“Convertible Note”) issued by the Issuer and its subsidiary to DBI Lease Buyback Servicing LLC (“DBI LBS”), a majority-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person, which number of shares reflects the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note as of February 28, 2022 and the Reporting Person’s proportionate membership interest in DBI LBS. Each of the foregoing is subject to a voting agreement pursuant to which David Michery is entitled to exercise the votes associated with such shares in respect of certain matters. |
| (3) | Based upon 34,942,304 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on February 11, 2022, as disclosed in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Issuer with the SEC on February 14, 2022. As more fully described in Item 4, the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Warrants, and Convertible Note, are subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership maximum, and the percentage set forth in Row 11 gives effect to such beneficial ownership maximum. However, as more fully described in Item 4, the securities reported in Rows 6, 7 and 9 show the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon full conversion or exercise of such reported securities and do not give effect to such beneficial ownership maximum. Therefore, the actual number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person, after giving effect to such beneficial ownership maximum, is less than the number of securities reported in Rows 6, 7 and 9. |

Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of issuer identified in Item 1.
Item 4(a). Amount Beneficially Owned:
| (a) | Amount beneficially owned: | |
The Reporting Person beneficially owned 11,821,712 shares of Common Stock.
Such number of shares represents (i) 77,800 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 778 shares of Series A Preferred Stock currently owned, (ii) 5,567,319 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 5,567,319 shares of Series B Preferred Stock currently owned, (iii) 1,131,221 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 1,131,221 shares of Series C Preferred Stock that the Reporting Person has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase until November 5, 2022, (iv) 3,393,663 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 3,393,663 Warrants the Reporting Person has the right to purchase until November 5, 2022, and (v) 1,651,709 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note, which number of shares reflects the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note as of February 28, 2022 and the Reporting Person’s proportionate ownership of DBI LBS. Each of the foregoing is subject to a voting agreement pursuant to which David Michery is entitled to exercise the votes associated with such shares in respect of certain matters.
| ||
| (b) | Percent of class: | |
9.99%
Pursuant to the terms of the Issuer’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Warrants, and the Convertible Note, the Issuer cannot issue Common Stock to the Reporting Person, and the Reporting Person cannot convert shares of Series B or Series C Preferred Stock, exercise the Warrants, or convert the Convertible Note, to the extent that the Reporting Person would beneficially own, after any such issuance or exercise, more than 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Maximum”), and the percentage set forth above and in Row 11 of the cover page gives effect to the Beneficial Ownership Maximum. Consequently, due to the Beneficial Ownership Maximum, as of the date of the event which requires filing of this statement, the Reporting Person could not convert all of the Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, could not exercise all of the Warrants, or convert the full outstanding balance of the Convertible Note. | ||
