social contribution, or other liability that may arise in relation to this option is solely the optionee’s (and not the Company’s or Subsidiary’s) responsibility and that such liability may exceed any amounts withheld. The optionee

otherwise, of his/her personal data in connection with this or any other equity award. At all times the Company shall maintain the confidentiality of the optionee’s personal data, except to the extent the Company is required to provide such

understands and agrees that any cross-border remittance made to exercise this option or transfer proceeds received upon the sale of Stock must be made through a locally authorized financial institution or registered foreign exchange agency and may
require the option to provide such entity with certain information regarding the transaction.

					
		
	13.	  	No Employment Rights or Other Entitlements: The optionee agrees that any awards under the Plan, including this option and these Terms and Conditions, do not

	14.	  	Compliance with Law: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Stock pursuant to any option, at any time,
if the offering of the Stock covered by such option, or the exercise of an option by the optionee, violates or is not in compliance with any laws, rules or regulations of the United States or any state or country. Furthermore, the optionee
understands that, to the extent applicable, the laws of the country in which he/she is working at the time of grant, vesting, and/or exercise of this option (including any rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor or
other matters) may restrict or prevent exercise of this option or may subject the optionee to additional procedural or regulatory requirements he/she is solely responsible for and will have to independently fulfill in relation to this option. The
Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on optionee’s participation in the Plan, stock option awards thereunder, and any Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable to comply
with applicable law or facilitate the administration of the Plan.

resolving any dispute that may arise directly or indirectly from these Terms and Conditions, the parties hereby submit and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States and agree that any litigation
shall be conducted only in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts or a court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 Exhibit 10(e) 
 Cabot Corporation 
 Summary of Compensation for Non-Employee Directors

 The cash compensation payable to Cabot’s non-employee directors consists of separate annual cash retainers for serving on the Board
and on each Committee on which a director serves, and an annual cash retainer for serving as non-Executive Chairman of the Board or as a Committee chair. The Governance and Nominating Committee generally reviews the competitiveness of Cabot’s
director compensation practices annually. Following this review in calendar year 2011, upon the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Governance Committee”), Cabot’s Board of
Directors approved an increase, effective January 1, 2012, from $65,000 to $75,000 in the annual cash retainer payable to each non-employee Director for his or her service on the Board. No other changes were made in the cash compensation
package at that time. With this change, the cash compensation payable for calendar year 2012 to Cabot’s non-employees directors consisted of the following payments: 

 

	 	•	 	 An annual retainer of $75,000 for service on the Board of Directors 

 

	 	•	 	 An annual retainer of $21,000 for service on the Audit Committee 

 

	 	•	 	 An annual retainer of $7,000 for service on each of the Compensation, Safety, Health and Environmental Affairs, or Governance and Nominating Committees

  

	 	•	 	 An annual retainer of $110,000 for service as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors 

 

	 	•	 	 An annual retainer of $40,000 for service as Chair of the Audit Committee 

 

	 	•	 	 An annual retainer of $10,000 for service as Chair of the Compensation, Safety, Health and Environmental Affairs, or Governance and Nominating
Committees 

 In addition to the cash compensation described above, under Cabot’s Non-Employee Directors’ Stock
Compensation Plan (the “Directors’ Stock Plan”), each non-employee director receives shares of Cabot common stock as a portion of his or her compensation for services performed in the calendar year. The dollar value of the award, or
the number of shares awarded, is set each year by the Governance Committee, and for calendar year 2012, each non-employee director received shares of Cabot common stock having, on the date of grant, a market value as close as possible to $75,000. A
pro rata grant is provided to any director who joins the Board during the calendar year.
