PERFORMANCE BASED AWARD AGREEMENT

under the

Hexcel Corporation 2003 Incentive Stock Plan

This Performance Based Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), is entered into as of the Grant Date, by and between Hexcel Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Grantee.

Pursuant to the Hexcel Corporation 2003 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”), the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the Grantee shall be granted a Performance Based Award (“PBA”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter contained.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.

1.                                       Notice of Grant; Incorporation of Plan. A Notice of Grant is attached hereto as Annex A and incorporated by reference herein. This PBA may result in the Grantee being awarded up to that number of unrestricted shares of Common Stock equal to the Maximum Share Award as set forth in the Notice of Grant.  Unless otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement and set forth in the Notice of Grant shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Notice of Grant and capitalized terms used in this Agreement and set forth in the Plan shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. The Plan is incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, as the Plan may be amended from time to time, provided that any such amendment of the Plan must be made in accordance with Section IX of the Plan. The PBA granted hereunder constitutes an Award within the meaning of the Plan.

2.                                       Award of Unrestricted Shares of Common Stock.

(a)                                  There are three Annual Performance Periods (2009, 2010 and 2011) and a Long-Term Performance Period (2009-2011) under this PBA.  Each Annual Performance Period shall have one or more performance measures identical to those selected by the Committee for such Annual Performance Period under the Annual Cash Bonus Plan. The RONCE performance measure set forth on Annex B is the cumulative performance measure for the Long-Term Performance Period.

(b)                                 As soon as practicable (but in no event later than 90 days) after the end of each Annual Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the Annual Payout Percentage for such Annual Performance Period. The Annual Performance Share Award with respect to each Annual Performance Period shall be obtained by multiplying the Annual Target Share Award by the Annual Payout Percentage with respect to such Annual Performance Period.

(c)                                  So long as the Minimum Award Condition is met and the Grantee is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary at the end of the Long-Term Performance Period, the Grantee shall, at such time as the number of unrestricted shares of Common Stock is determined under this subsection 2(c), become entitled to receive that number of unrestricted shares of Common Stock equal to the greater of (i) the number

determined in accordance with the Share Award Schedule that appears on Annex B and (ii) the sum of the Annual Performance Share Awards for each of the three Annual Performance Periods; provided however that if the sum of the Annual Performance Share Awards is greater than the number determined in accordance with the Share Award Schedule that appears on Annex B, and the Company does not attain the Threshold Level of the Long-Term Performance Measure, then the number of unrestricted shares of Common Stock to be received by the Grantee shall be equal to 75% of the sum of the Annual Performance Share Awards. The Committee shall certify the degree of achievement of the Long-Term Performance Measure promptly (but in no event later than 90 days) after the end of the Long-Term Performance Period.

(d)                                 Subject to Sections 3 and 4, if the Minimum Award Condition is not met, the Grantee shall receive nothing and this PBA shall be null and void.

3.                                       Termination of Employment.

(a)                                  For purposes of the grant hereunder, any transfer of employment by the Grantee among the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be considered a termination of employment.  Any change in employment that does not constitute a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations (or any successor provision) shall not be considered a termination of employment.  Any change in employment that does constitute a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations (or any successor provision) shall be considered a termination of employment.

(b)                                 If during the first Annual Performance Period the Grantee dies or terminates employment due to Disability or Retirement, or the Grantee’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause or the Grantee terminates employment for Good Reason, then the Grantee shall be entitled to receive that number of unrestricted shares of Common Stock equal to the Annual Performance Share Award determined for the first Annual Performance Period multiplied by a fraction equal to M/12, where M is the number of partial or total months the Grantee is employed by the Company during the first Annual Performance Period.

(c)                               If during the second Annual Performance Period the Grantee dies or terminates employment due to Disability or Retirement, or the Grantee’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause or the Grantee terminates employment for Good Reason, then the Grantee shall be entitled to receive a number of unrestricted shares of Common Stock equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of (A) the Annual Performance Share Award determined for the first Annual Performance Period and (B) the Annual Performance Share Award determined for the second Annual Performance Period multiplied by a fraction equal to M/12, where M is the number of partial or total months the Grantee is employed by the Company during the second Annual Performance Period, and (ii) the PBA Target Share Award.

(d)                                 If during the last Annual Performance Period the Grantee dies or terminates employment due to Disability or Retirement, or the Grantee’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause or the Grantee terminates employment for Good Reason, then, so long as the Minimum Award Condition is met, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive that number of unrestricted shares of Common Stock to which the Grantee would have been entitled to receive had he been employed by the Company or

2

a Subsidiary at the end of the Long-Term Performance Period multiplied by a fraction equal to M/36, where M is the number of partial or total months the Grantee is employed by the Company during the Long-Term Performance Period.

(e)                                  If, at any time during the Long-Term Performance Period, the Grantee voluntarily terminates his employment other than for Good Reason or is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Grantee shall receive nothing and this PBA shall be null and void.

(f)                                    The Grantee shall become entitled to receive shares of unrestricted Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(b) or 3(c) upon the date on which the Committee certifies the degree of achievement of the applicable performance measure(s) for the Annual Performance Period during which the Grantee’s employment terminated. The Grantee shall become entitled to receive shares of unrestricted Common Stock under Section 3(d) at the same time as the Grantee would become entitled to receive shares of unrestricted Common Stock under Section 2(c) if the Grantee were employed by the Company or a Subsidiary at the end of the Long-Term Performance Period.

4.                                       Change in Control.  If a Change in Control occurs anytime during the Long-Term Performance Period and prior to the Grantee’s receiving any payment under this PBA, the Grantee will immediately be awarded the PBA Target Share Award.  Payment of the PBA Target Share Award shall discharge any obligation the Company has or may have to the Grantee under this PBA in its entirety and the Grantee shall not be entitled to payment of any additional amounts from the Company under this PBA.

5.                                       Transferability of PBA; No Incidents of Ownership; Dividends

(a)                                  Except as provided in this Section 6(a), the PBA may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempt to transfer the PBA in contravention of this Section 5(a) is void ab initio.  The PBA shall not be subject to execution, attachment or other process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee shall be permitted to transfer the PBA to members of his or her immediate family (i.e., children, grandchildren or spouse), trusts for the benefit of such family members, and partnerships or other entities whose only partners or equity owners are such family members; provided, however, that no consideration can be paid for the transfer of the PBA and the transferee of the PBA must agree to be subject to all conditions applicable to the PBA (including all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement) prior to transfer.

(b)                                 Except as set forth in Section 5(c), the Grantee shall not possess any incidents of ownership (including, without limitation, dividend and voting rights) in shares of Common Stock in respect of the PBA unless and until the Grantee becomes entitled to receive unrestricted shares of Common Stock.

(c)                                  If one or more cash dividends are paid with respect to Common Stock during the Long-Term Performance Period then at the time unrestricted shares of Common Stock are distributed to the Grantee, the Grantee shall receive a cash payment equal to the aggregate dividend amount the Grantee would have received had Grantee owned such shares of Common Stock on the dividend record date(s).

3

6.                                       Forfeiture of PBA on Certain Conditions.

(a)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, should the Grantee while an employee or after termination of employment fail to comply with the “Protective Condition” (as defined in Section 6(b)), then the PBA shall immediately expire upon the Grantee’s failure to meet such condition.

(b)                                 “Protective Condition” shall mean that the Grantee (A) complies with all terms and provisions of any obligation of confidentiality to the Company and/or one of its Subsidiaries contained in a written agreement signed by the Grantee, and (B) does not engage, in any capacity, directly or indirectly, including but not limited to as employee, agent, consultant, manager, executive, owner or stockholder (except as a passive investor holding less than a 5% equity interest in any enterprise) in any business entity engaged in competition with the business conducted by the Company on the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company anywhere in the world (except that the Grantee may be employed by a competitor of the Company so long as the Grantee’s duties and responsibilities do not relate directly or indirectly to the business segment of the new employer which is competitive with the business conducted by the Company).

7.                                       Issuance of Shares.  Subject to section 11(e) below, any shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Grantee under this PBA (i) shall be delivered to the Grantee promptly, but in no event later than ten days, after such time as the Grantee becomes entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock, and (ii) may be issued in either certificated form, or in uncertificated form (via the Direct Registration System or otherwise).

8.                                       Equitable Adjustment.  The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to this PBA shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital adjustment, or the payment of a stock dividend or other increase or decrease in such shares, effected without the receipt of consideration by the Company, or other change in corporate or capital structure. The Committee shall also make the foregoing changes and any other changes, including changes in the classes of securities available, to the extent reasonably necessary or desirable to preserve the intended benefits under this Agreement in the event of any other reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, extraordinary dividend or other distribution or similar transaction involving the Company.

9.                                       Taxes.  Upon the distribution of unrestricted shares of Common Stock to the Grantee, absent a notification by the Grantee to the Company (or an agent designated by the Company to administer the Company’s stock incentive program) which is received by the Company or its agent at least three business days prior to the date of such distribution, to the effect that the Grantee will pay to the Company or a Subsidiary by check or wire transfer any taxes (“Withholding Taxes”) the Company reasonably determines it or a Subsidiary is required to withhold under applicable tax laws with respect to such shares, the Company will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock to be distributed to the Grantee in connection with such distribution by a number of shares of Common Stock the Fair Market Value (as of the date the Grantee becomes entitled to receive such shares) of which is equal to the total amount of Withholding Taxes. In the event the Grantee elects to pay to the Company or a Subsidiary the Withholding Taxes with respect to such shares by check or wire transfer,

4

the Company’s obligation to deliver such shares of Common Stock shall be subject to the payment in available funds by the Grantee of all Withholding Taxes with respect to such shares. The Company or a Subsidiary shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Grantee any federal, state, local or other taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

10.                                 No Guarantee of Employment.  Nothing set forth herein or in the Plan shall confer upon the Grantee any right of continued employment for any period by the Company, or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate such employment.

11.                                 Section 409A.

(a)                                  It is intended that this Agreement comply in all respects with the requirements of Sections 409A (a)(2) through (4) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations and other generally applicable guidance issued thereunder (collectively, the “Applicable Regulations”), and this Agreement shall be interpreted for all purposes in accordance with this intent.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement (including any term or provision of the Plan incorporated herein by reference), the parties hereto agree that, from time to time, the Company may, without prior notice to or consent of the Grantee, amend this Agreement to the extent determined by the Company, in the exercise of its discretion in good faith, to be necessary or advisable to prevent the inclusion in the Grantee’s gross income pursuant to the Applicable Regulations of any compensation intended to be deferred hereunder. The Company shall notify the Grantee as soon as reasonably practicable of any such amendment affecting the Grantee.

(c)                                  In the event that the amounts payable under this Agreement are subject to any taxes, penalties or interest under the Applicable Regulations, the Grantee shall be solely liable for the payment of any such taxes, penalties or interest.

(d)                                 Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the time for distribution of unrestricted shares of Common Stock under this PBA shall not be accelerated or delayed for any reason, unless to the extent necessary to comply with or permitted under the Applicable Regulations.

(e)                                  Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Grantee is a specified employee (as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) as of the date of his or her termination of employment, then any amounts payable to the Grantee under this PBA on account of his or her termination of employment (including without limitation any dividends payable to the Grantee pursuant to Section 5(c) if payable on account of his or her termination of employment) shall be paid to the Grantee upon the later of (i) the date such amounts would otherwise be payable to the Grantee under this PBA without regard to this Section 11(e) and (ii) the date which is six months following the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment.  The preceding sentence shall not apply in the event Grantee’s termination of employment is due to his or her death.  If the Grantee should terminate employment for a reason other than his or her death but subsequently die during the six-month period described in subclause (ii) of the first sentence above, such six-month period shall be deemed to end on the date of the Grantee’s death.

13.                                 Failure To Enforce Not a Waiver.  The failure of either party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.

The Grantee’s right to terminate the Grantee’s employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Grantee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness. The Grantee’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder.

For purposes of any determination regarding the existence of Good Reason, any claim by the Grantee that Good Reason exists shall be presumed to be correct unless the Company establishes to the Board by clear and convincing evidence that Good Reason does not exist;
