Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The sales reported in this Form 4 were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person on February 15, 2011.
(2) The price reported in column 4 is a weighted average. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $18.95 to $19.39, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide Hexcel Corporation, any security holder of Hexcel Corporation, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the range of this footnote (2).
(3) These shares were withheld as payment for the NQO exercise price and tax withholding required upon exercise of NQOs.
(4) Non-Qualified Options ("NQOs") granted in a transaction exempt under Rule 16b.
(5) The NQOs vested over four years at a rate of one-sixteenth of the shares at the end of each three month period beginning with the three month period ending October 31, 2001.
(6) The NQO becomes exercisable in full on July 29, 2011, but is subject to earlier vesting in equal one-third parts if the price of a share of Hexcel common stock reaches $15.75, $21.00 and $26.25 over consecutive thirty-day trading periods. The option vested as to one-third of the underlying shares in 2005 as Hexcel stock closed at $15.75 or higher for thirty consecutive days, and vested as to an additional third of the underlying shares in 2006 as Hexcel stock closed at $21.00 or higher for thirty consecutive days.
