Exhibit 10.8

RenovoRX, INC.

CHANGE IN CONTROL AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

This Change in Control and Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made by and between RenovoRx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Ramtin Agah (“Service Provider”), effective as of the Effective Date, as defined in Section 7 below.

This Agreement provides certain protections to Service Provider in connection with an involuntary termination of Service Provider’s consulting services with the Company under the circumstances described in this Agreement, including in connection with a change in control of the Company. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 7 below.

The Company and Service Provider agree as follows:

1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement will continue indefinitely until terminated by written consent of the parties hereto, or if earlier, upon the date that all of the obligations of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement have been satisfied.

2. Service. The Company and Service Provider acknowledge that Service Provider’s consulting services to the Company are and will continue to be governed by the Consulting Agreement originally entered into between Service Provider and the Company as of January 1, 2018, as such agreement has been or may be amended from time to time (the “Consulting Agreement”). The Company and Service Provider acknowledge that if Service Provider becomes an employee of the Company, such employment services will be at-will, as defined under applicable law. No payments, benefits, or provisions under this Agreement will confer upon Service Provider any right to continue Service Provider’s services with the Company, nor will they interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or Service Provider to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and the terms of the Consulting Agreement, if then in place.

3. Severance Benefits.

(a) Qualifying Termination Outside of the Change in Control Period. In the event of a Qualifying Termination that occurs other than during the Change in Control Period, Service Provider will receive the following payments and benefits from the Company, subject to the requirements of this Agreement:

(i) Base Compensation Severance. A single, lump sum, cash payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of Service Provider’s Annual Base Compensation.

(ii) Bonus Severance. A single, lump sum, cash payment equal to the product of (i) the Service Provider’s Target Bonus, if any, that the Service Provider would have earned for the entire fiscal year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs; and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Service Provider was in Service during the fiscal year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs and the denominator of which is the number of days in such fiscal year.

(iii) COBRA Severance. If Service Provider’s Service as of immediately prior to the Qualifying Termination was as an employee, then, subject to Service Provider timely electing continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) and further subject to Section 5(c), Service Provider will receive Company-paid group health, dental and vision coverage for Service Provider and any of Service Provider’s eligible dependents, as applicable (the “COBRA Severance”), following the Qualifying Termination until the earliest of: (A) six (6) months following the date of the Qualifying Termination, (B) the date on which Service Provider and Service Provider’s eligible dependents (as applicable) become covered under similar plans, or (C) the expiration of Service Provider’s (and any of Service Provider’s eligible dependents’, as applicable) eligibility for continuation coverage under COBRA.

(b) Qualifying Termination During the Change in Control Period. In the event of a Qualifying Termination that occurs during the Change in Control Period, Service Provider will receive the following payments and benefits from the Company, subject to the requirements of this Agreement:

(i) Base Compensation Severance. A single, lump sum, cash payment equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of Service Provider’s Annual Base Compensation.

(ii) COBRA Severance. If Service Provider’s Service as of immediately prior to the Qualifying Termination was as an employee, then, subject to Service Provider timely electing continuation coverage under COBRA and further subject to Section 5(c), Service Provider will receive COBRA Severance until the earliest of: (A) twelve (12) months following the date of the Qualifying Termination, (B) the date on which Service Provider and Service Provider’s eligible dependents (as applicable) become covered under similar plans, or (C) the expiration of Service Provider’s (and any of Service Provider’s eligible dependents, as applicable) eligibility for continuation coverage under COBRA.

(iii) Vesting Acceleration of Service-based Equity Awards. Notwithstanding the terms of the Company equity plan or plans under which the Service Provider’s Awards are granted or any applicable award agreements, vesting acceleration of one hundred percent (100%) of any Equity Awards that are outstanding and unvested as of the date of the Qualifying Termination.

(c) Termination Other Than a Qualifying Termination. If the termination of Service Provider’s Service does not constitute a Qualifying Termination, then Service Provider will not be entitled to receive any severance or other benefits in connection with such termination except for those, if any, as may then be established under the Company’s then existing severance and benefits plans or programs.

(d) Non-duplication of Payment or Benefits. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Service Provider is entitled to any cash severance, continued health coverage benefits, vesting acceleration of any Awards, or other severance or separation benefits similar to those provided under this Agreement, by operation of applicable law or under a plan, policy, contract, or arrangement sponsored by or to which the Company is a party other than this Agreement (“Other Benefits”), then the corresponding severance payments and benefits under this Agreement will be reduced by the amount of Other Benefits paid or provided to Service Provider.

(e) Death of Service Provider. In the event of Service Provider’s death before all payments or benefits Service Provider is entitled to receive under this Agreement have been provided, the unpaid amounts will be provided to Service Provider’s designated beneficiary, if living, or otherwise to Service Provider’s personal representative in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

4. Accrued Compensation. On any termination of Service Provider’s Service, Service Provider will be entitled to receive all accrued but unpaid consulting fee and expense reimbursements, and, if Service Provider’s Service as of immediately prior to the Qualifying Termination was as an employee, all accrued but unpaid wages, and other benefits due to Service Provider under any Company-provided plans, policies, and arrangements.

5. Conditions to Receipt of Severance.

(a) Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. Service Provider’s receipt of any severance payments or benefits upon a Qualifying Termination under Section 3 is subject to Service Provider signing and not revoking the Company’s then standard separation agreement and release of claims with the Company (the “Release”), which must become effective and irrevocable no later than the sixtieth (60^th) day following the date of the Qualifying Termination (the “Release Deadline Date”). If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline Date, Service Provider will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under Section 3.

(b) Payment Timing. Any lump sum cash severance payments under Section 3 relating to base compensation severance and any bonus severance will be provided to Service Provider on the first regularly scheduled payroll date of the Company following the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable, subject to any delay required by Section 5(d) below. Any Equity Awards that are restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, and/or similar full value awards (“Full Value Awards”) that accelerate vesting under Section 3(b)(iii) will be settled, subject to any delay required by Section 5(d) below (or the terms of the Full Value Award agreement or other Company plan, policy, or arrangement governing the settlement timing of the Full Value Award to the extent such terms specifically require any such delay in order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, as applicable), on a date within ten (10) days following the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable.

(c) COBRA Severance Limitations. If the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the COBRA Severance, if any is otherwise due under the terms of Section 3, without potentially violating, or being subject to an excise tax under, applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), then in lieu of such COBRA Severance, subject to any delay required by Section 5(d) below and except as provided by the last sentence of this Section 5(c), the Company will provide to Service Provider a taxable monthly payment payable on the last day of a given month (provided that no such payments will be made prior to the effectiveness of the Release, and any such payments delayed as a result will be paid, subject to any delay required by Section 5(d) below, in a lump sum on the first regularly scheduled payroll date of the Company following the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable), in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that Service Provider would be required to pay to continue Service Provider’s group health coverage in effect on the date of the Qualifying Termination (which amount will be based on the premium rates applicable for the first month of COBRA Severance for Service Provider and any eligible dependents of Service Provider) (each, a “COBRA Replacement Payment”), which COBRA Replacement Payments will be made regardless of whether Service Provider elects COBRA continuation coverage and will end on the earlier of (i) the date upon which Service Provider obtains other employment (excluding any employment outside of the Company that is in effect as of the Effective Date), or (ii) the date the Company has paid an amount totaling the number of COBRA Replacement Payments equal to the number of months in the applicable COBRA Severance period set forth in clause (A) of Section 3(a)(iii) or Section 3(b)(ii), as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the COBRA Replacement Payments may be used for any purpose, including, but not limited to continuation coverage under COBRA, and will be subject to any applicable withholdings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Agreement, if the Company determines in its sole discretion at any time that it cannot provide the COBRA Replacement Payments without violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), Service Provider will not receive the COBRA Replacement Payments or any further COBRA Severance.

(d) Section 409A. The Company intends that all payments and benefits provided under this Agreement or otherwise are exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the payments or benefits will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities and ambiguous terms in this Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with this intent. No payments or benefits to be provided to Service Provider, if any, under this Agreement or otherwise, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid or otherwise provided until Service Provider has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. To the extent required to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A, references to the termination of Service Provider’s Service, termination of Service Provider’s consulting services, termination of Service Provider’s employment or similar phrases used in this Agreement will mean Service Provider’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.

(i) Any payments or benefits paid or provided under this Agreement that satisfy the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), or that qualify as payments made as a result of an involuntary separation from service under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) that is within the limit set forth thereunder, will not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of this Section 5(d).

(ii) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement, if Service Provider is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Service Provider’s separation from service (other than due to death), then any payments or benefits under this Agreement that constitute Deferred Payments payable within the first six (6) months after Service Provider’s separation from service instead will be payable on the date six (6) months and one (1) day after Service Provider’s separation from service; provided that in the event of Service Provider’s death within such six (6) month period, any payments delayed by this subsection (ii) will be paid to Service Provider in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Service Provider’s death. To the extent that Service Provider is not a specified employee but Service Provider’s Qualifying Termination occurs at a time during the year whereby the Release Deadline Date will occur in the year immediately following the year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs, then any payments or benefits under this Agreement that constitute Deferred Payments that otherwise would be payable prior to the Release Deadline Date instead will be paid on the first regularly scheduled payroll date of the Company following the Release Deadline Date.

(iii) The Company reserves the right to amend this Agreement as it considers necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Service Provider or any other individual, to comply with any provision required to avoid the imposition of the additional tax imposed under Section 409A or to otherwise avoid income recognition under Section 409A prior to the actual payment of any benefits or imposition of any additional tax. Each payment, installment, and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). In no event will Service Provider have any discretion to choose Service Provider’s taxable year in which any payments or benefits are provided under this Agreement. In no event will the Company or any parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company have any responsibility, liability or obligation to reimburse, indemnify or hold harmless Service Provider for any taxes, penalties or interest that may be imposed, or other costs that may be incurred, as a result of Section 409A.

6. Limitation on Payments.

(a) Reduction of Severance Benefits. If any payment or benefit that Service Provider would receive from the Company or any other party whether in connection with the provisions in this Agreement or otherwise (the “Payments”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments will be either delivered in full, or delivered as to such lesser extent that would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in Service Provider’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of Payments, notwithstanding that all or some of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in Payments is made in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the reduction will occur, with respect to the Payments considered parachute payments within the meaning of Code Section 280G, in the following order: (A) reduction of cash payments in reverse chronological order (that is, the cash payment owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the Excise Tax will be the first cash payment to be reduced); (B) cancellation of equity awards that were granted “contingent on a change in ownership or control” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code in the reverse order of date of grant of the equity awards (that is, the most recently granted equity awards will be cancelled first); (C) reduction of the accelerated vesting of equity awards in the reverse order of date of grant of the equity awards (that is, the vesting of the most recently granted equity awards will be cancelled first); and (D) reduction of employee benefits in reverse chronological order (that is, the benefit owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the Excise Tax will be the first benefit to be reduced). In no event will Service Provider have any discretion with respect to the ordering of Payment reductions. Service Provider will be solely responsible for the payment of all personal tax liability that is incurred as a result of the payments and benefits received under this Agreement, and neither the Company nor any parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company have any responsibility, liability or obligation to reimburse, indemnify or hold harmless Service Provider for any of those payments of personal tax liability.

(b) Determination of Excise Tax Liability. Unless the Company and Service Provider otherwise agree in writing, any determinations required under this Section 6 will be made in writing by a nationally recognized accounting or valuation firm (the “Firm”) selected by the Company, whose determinations will be conclusive and binding upon Service Provider and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 6, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Service Provider will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm reasonably may request in order to make determinations under this Section 6. The Company will bear the costs and make all payments required to be made to the Firm for the Firm’s services that are rendered in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 6. The Company will have no liability to Service Provider for the determinations of the Firm.

7. Definitions. The following terms referred to in this Agreement will have the following meanings:

(a) “Annual Base Compensation” means Service Provider’s (x) monthly base consulting fee multiplied by twelve (referred to as the “annual base consulting fee”) or, (y) if at the applicable time, Service Provider is an employee of the Company annual base salary, in effect immediately prior to Service Provider’s Qualifying Termination (or, if the termination is due to a resignation for Good Reason based on a material reduction in Service Provider’s annual base consulting fee or annual base salary, as applicable, then Service Provider’s annual base consulting fee or annual base salary, as applicable, in effect immediately prior to the reduction) or, if Service Provider’s Qualifying Termination occurs during the Change in Control Period and the amount is greater, Service Provider’s annual base consulting fee or annual base salary, as applicable, in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control.

(i) Change in Ownership of the Company. A change in the ownership of the Company which occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (“Person”), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection, the acquisition of additional stock by any one Person, who is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company will not be considered a Change in Control; provided, further, that any change in the ownership of the stock of the Company as a result of a private financing of the Company that is approved by the Board also will not be considered a Change in Control. Further, if the stockholders of the Company immediately before such change in ownership continue to retain immediately after the change in ownership, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company’s voting stock immediately prior to the change in ownership, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company or of the ultimate parent entity of the Company, such event shall not be considered a Change in Control under this subsection (i). For this purpose, indirect beneficial ownership shall include, without limitation, an interest resulting from ownership of the voting securities of one or more corporations or other business entities which own the Company, as the case may be, either directly or through one or more subsidiary corporations or other business entities; or

(ii) Change in Effective Control of the Company. If the Company has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, a change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election. For purposes of this subsection (ii), if any Person is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change in Control; or

(iii) Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Company’s Assets. A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than fifty percent (50%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (iii), the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets: (A) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer, or (B) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (1) a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’s stock, (2) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (3) a Person, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company, or (4) an entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person described in this subsection (iii)(B)(3). For purposes of this subsection (iii), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

For purposes of this definition, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Section 409A. Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (x) its sole purpose is to change the jurisdiction of the Company’s incorporation, or (y) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.

(f) “Change in Control Period” means the period beginning on the date of a Change in Control and ending on (and inclusive of) the date that is the one (1) year anniversary of a Change in Control.

To the extent Service Provider’s primary work location is Service Provider’s residence due to a shelter-in-place order or similar work-from-home arrangement that applies to Service Provider, Service Provider’s primary place of work, from which a change in location under the foregoing clause (iv) will be measured, will be considered the Company’s office location where Service Provider’s Service primarily was based immediately prior to the commencement of such shelter-in-place order or similar work-from-home arrangement.

(m) “Qualifying Termination” means a termination of Service Provider’s Service with the Company either (i) by the Company without Cause and other than due to Service Provider’s death or Disability, or (ii) by Service Provider for Good Reason.

(p) “Target Bonus” means Service Provider’s annual (or annualized, if applicable) target bonus in effect immediately prior to Service Provider’s Qualifying Termination or, if Service Provider’s Qualifying Termination occurs during the Change in Control Period and the amount is greater, Service Provider’s annual (or annualized, if applicable) target bonus in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control.

8. Successors. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of (a) the heirs, executors, and legal representatives of Service Provider upon Service Provider’s death, and (b) any successor of the Company. Any such successor of the Company will be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. For this purpose, “successor” means any person, firm, corporation, or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger, or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company. None of the rights of Service Provider to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

(f) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect the remaining parts of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had not been included.
