Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 14, 2006, Cabot’s Board of Directors adopted a new Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Deferral Plan (the "Deferral Plan"). The Deferral Plan allows Cabot’s non-employee directors to defer, on a pretax basis, all or a portion of any stock award they receive under the Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Compensation Plan, which was adopted by Cabot’s shareholders in March 2006. Under the terms of the Deferral Plan, for each share of stock deferred, a director will be credited with one phantom stock unit to a notional account created in the director’s name. Account balances will be adjusted to reflect changes in the value of Cabot common stock and to reflect any stock dividends, stock splits or other changes in capitalization. Cash dividend equivalents are credited to a director's account, also on a tax-deferred basis, and receive tax-deferred earnings in any year at the Moody’ Rate specified in Moody’s Bond Record under the heading of "Moody’s Cor porate Bond Yield Averages – Av. Corp." as published for the month of November preceding the applicable calendar year.
