Worst case: four years on the 245, plus eight additional months for the 422. The misdemeanors would run concurrent to the prison sentence on the felonies.

If you have prior "strike" convictions or have served a prior prison term, that could substantially increase the potential sentence.

Your lawyer has all the facts and can give you a better answer about the likely outcome than a stranger on the Internet who knows nothing about your case.
