Explanation of Responses:
1. This statement is being filed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("GS Group") and Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs", and together with GS Group, the "Reporting Persons"). The original Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2005 incorrectly reported a sale of 360 shares of Hexcel Corporation common stock ("Common Stock") at $17.87 on transaction date September 21, 2005. The transaction reported on this amended Form 4 corrects and replaces that sale transaction. The transaction reported herein as indirectly purchased was beneficially owned directly by Goldman Sachs. Without admitting any legal obligation, Goldman Sachs or an affiliate will remit appropriate profits, if any to Hexcel Corporation (the "Company").
2. As of September 23, 2005, Goldman Sachs may be deemed to have beneficially owned directly and GS Group may be deemed to have beneficially owned indirectly 720 shares of Common Stock. GS Group and Goldman Sachs may be deemed to have beneficially owned indirectly 74 shares of Common Stock by reason of the beneficial ownership of such shares by certain investment partnerships and limited liability companies of which Goldman Sachs or affiliates of Goldman Sachs and GS Group are the general partner, managing general partner, managing partner, managing member, member, manager or investment manager ("Investing Entities").
3. In addition, GS Group may be deemed to have beneficially owned 6,186 shares of Common Stock which were granted pursuant to the Hexcel Corporation 2003 Incentive Stock Plan, consisting of 3,093 shares of phantom stock granted to each of Peter M. Sacerdote, an advisory director of Goldman Sachs and Sanjeev K. Mehra, a managing director of Goldman Sachs, in their capacity as directors of the Company.
