Severance Agreement between Cabot Corporation and William J. Brady

 EXHIBIT 10(m) 
 September 8, 2009 
 Dear Bill: 
 This separation letter (“Separation Agreement”) is to confirm the termination of your employment with Cabot Corporation
(“Cabot” or the “Company”) effective September 14, 2009 (the “Separation Date”). As a result of the termination of your employment, you are entitled to (a) salary through September 14, 2009,
(b) payment for accrued vacation time as reflected on the books of the Company as of September 14, 2009, and (c) certain rights to continue medical and dental coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985
(“COBRA”), details of which are being provided to you under separate cover. The items set forth above will be provided to you regardless of whether or not you decide to accept the additional payments and benefits offered by Cabot in this
Separation Agreement. 
 Except as otherwise stated herein, this Separation Agreement does not modify or supersede any
obligations that you have to Cabot by law or otherwise, and you understand that you must return all written and other materials belonging to Cabot (whether hardcopy, in electronic form or otherwise) and in your possession or control, together with
all copies of such materials, upon termination of your employment. 
 I invite you to consider the following offer of additional
payments and benefits in exchange for a general release of claims. You should consult with an attorney before deciding whether to accept this offer. You may accept this offer only by signing (with signature notarized) a copy of this letter where
indicated below and returning it to Robby D. Sisco at Cabot Corporation, 2 Seaport Lane, Boston, MA 02210, so that Mr. Sisco receives it not later than October 6, 2009, and by not thereafter revoking this agreement; otherwise this offer
shall be null and void. Our offer is as follows: 
  

	1.	Cabot will pay you a total of $730,000.00 over the twenty-four (24) month period commencing on September 15, 2009, and ending on September 14, 2011,
payable in equal bi-weekly installments. In addition to the foregoing, prior to November 15, 2009, Cabot will make an additional payment to you of $65,000. Any such severance payments paid to you under this paragraph shall be reduced by any
deductions and withholding that Cabot determines are required by law or otherwise, prior to payment to you. Cabot agrees that it will answer accurately any questions put to it by any relevant state agency and that it will not contest your
application for unemployment benefits on the basis of the circumstances of your separation from employment. Cabot agrees to acknowledge to any relevant state agency, upon request, that you were required to sign a release of claims in order to
receive severance benefits. 

  

	2.	Cabot will provide you with outplacement services by a service provider designated by Cabot, in an amount not to exceed $60,000, further details of which will be
provided to you. 

  

	3.	If you elect to continue medical and/or dental coverage in accordance with COBRA (as outlined in the materials being provided to you), then from September 15, 2009
until the earlier of (i) September 14, 2011, or (ii) the termination of such coverage in compliance with COBRA, you will pay the same cost of such medical and/or dental coverage as paid from time-to-time by active employees of the
Company generally; Cabot shall pay the balance of such cost. After September 14, 2011, Cabot will cease paying the balance of such COBRA cost. At such time, you will be responsible for paying the entire cost of the COBRA coverage for the
remaining amount of time (if any) you are legally entitled to it. Cabot reserves the right to amend, modify, terminate or discontinue the medical and dental coverage or benefits provided to its employees or former employees, or the costs associated
therewith, at any time. 

  

	4.	 During the twelve-month period following the Separation Date, the Company will continue to support the financial planning benefit received by you from
AYCO at an amount not less than amounts provided in previous years, as if you were an active employee, in accordance with the Company’s

	 	 
program guidelines, as in effect from time to time. The Company reserves the right to amend, modify, terminate or discontinue the financial planning benefit provided by AYCO to its employees or
former employees, or the costs associated therewith, at any time. 

  

	5.	In exchange for the payments and benefits provided to you under this Separation Agreement, to which you acknowledge you would not otherwise be entitled, you, on your
own behalf and that of your heirs, executors, administrators, beneficiaries, personal representatives and assigns, and any other person or entity claiming through or under you, agree that the Separation Agreement shall be in complete and final
settlement of any and all causes of action, rights or claims, whether known or unknown, that you have had in the past, now have, or might now have as of the date upon which you sign and execute this Separation Agreement, in any way related to,
connected with or arising out of your employment or its termination, whether (a) sounding in tort, contract or otherwise, (b) pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Worker Adjustment
and Retraining Notification Act or any similar state law, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, or the fair employment practices statutes of the state or states in which you have provided services to the
Company, or (c) pursuant to any other federal, state or local law, regulation or other requirement. You hereby release and forever discharge the Company and its subsidiaries and other affiliates and all of their respective past, present and
future directors, shareholders, officers, members, managers, general and limited partners, insurers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns, any welfare or retirement plans maintained by or on behalf of Cabot or its subsidiaries,
affiliates, or successors, or any of the trustees or administrators thereof, and all others connected with any of the foregoing, both individually and in their official capacities (collectively, the “Releasees”), from any and all such
causes of action, rights or claims, whether known or unknown, that you have had in the past, now have, or might now have as of the date upon which you sign and execute this Separation Agreement, in any way related to, connected with or arising out
of your employment or its termination. 

  

	    	Notwithstanding the foregoing, this release does not include and will not preclude a claim for or with respect to: (a) salary payable through the Separation Date,
or accrued, unused vacation time as recorded on the Company’s books as of the Separation Date, the receipt of which you acknowledge; (b) vested benefits under any employee benefit plan, (c) your COBRA rights, and (d) payments and

	7.	You affirm and warrant that you have not filed any complaints, charges or claims for relief against Cabot with any local, state or federal court or administrative
agency. You also affirm that you have been paid and/or have received all leave (paid or unpaid), compensation, wages, bonuses, commissions, and/or benefits to which you may be entitled and that no other leave (paid or unpaid), compensation, wages,
