Exhibit 10.28

 

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.

 

The Company maintains 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.             Performance Periods; Award of Unrestricted Shares of Common
Stock.

 

(a)           There are three Annual Performance Periods (2010, 2011 and 2012)
and a Long-Term Performance Period (2010-2012) under this PBA.  Each Annual
Performance Period shall have performance measures identical to those selected
by the Committee under the Annual Cash Bonus Plan for that Annual Performance
Period. The performance measure for the Long-Term Performance Period is the
RONCE performance measure as set forth on Annex B.

 

(b)           As soon as practicable (but in no event later than 75 days) after
the end of each Annual Performance Period, the Company shall determine  the
Annual Performance Share Award for such Annual Performance Period by multiplying
the Annual Target Share Award by the Annual Payout Percentage achieved for such
Annual Performance Period.

 

(c)           So long as 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 75
days) after the end of the Long-Term Performance Period.

 

3.             Termination of Employment; Pro-rata Award.

 

(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 third 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 to which the Grantee would have
been entitled to receive under subsection 2(c) had he been employed by the
Company or 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.

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(e)           If, at any time during the Long-Term Performance Period the
Grantee terminates employment other than for Disability, Retirement or Good
Reason, or Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the
Grantee shall receive no award 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 have 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 award
under this PBA, the Grantee shall immediately be awarded the PBA Target Share
Award.  Delivery of the PBA Target Share Award shall discharge any obligation to
the Grantee under this PBA in its entirety and the Grantee shall not be entitled
to any additional award under this PBA.

 

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

 

(a)           Except as provided in this Section 5(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).

 

6.             Forfeiture of PBA on Certain Conditions.  Grantee hereby
acknowledges that the Company has given or will give Grantee access to certain
confidential, proprietary or trade secret information, which the Company
considers extremely valuable and which provides the Company with a competitive
advantage in the markets in which the Company develops or sells its products. 
The Grantee further acknowledges that the use of such information by Grantee
other than in furtherance of Grantee’s job

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

responsibilities with the Company would be extremely detrimental to the Company
and would cause immediate and irreparable harm to the Company.  In exchange for
access to such confidential, proprietary or trade secret information, Grantee
hereby agrees as follows:

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, should the Grantee breach the “Protective Condition” (as defined in
Section (b)), then (I) the PBA, and any RSUs acquired by the Grantee pursuant to
the PBA, to the extent not previously converted into PBA shares, shall
immediately be cancelled upon such breach, (II) the Grantee shall immediately
deliver to the Company the number of PBA Shares the Grantee received during the
180-day period immediately prior to such breach and (III) if any PBA shares were
sold during 180-day period immediately prior to such breach, the Grantee shall
immediately deliver to the Company all proceeds of such sales. “PBA Shares”
shall mean shares of Common Stock the Grantee may receive pursuant to this
Agreement. The PBA Shares and proceeds to be delivered under clauses (II) and
(III) may be reduced to reflect the Grantee’s liability for taxes payable on
such PBA Shares and/or proceeds.

 

(b)           “Protective Condition” shall mean that (I) the Grantee complies
with all terms and provisions of any obligation of confidentiality contained in
a written agreement with the Company (or a Subsidiary) signed by the Grantee, or
otherwise imposed on Grantee by applicable law, and (II) during the time Grantee
is employed by the Company (or a Subsidiary) and for a period of one year after
the Grantee’s employment with the Company (or a Subsidiary) terminates, the
Grantee 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 enterprise then engaged in competition with
the business conducted by the Company anywhere in the world; provided, however,
that the Grantee may be employed by a competitor of the Company within such one
year period so long as the duties and responsibilities of Grantee’s position
with such competitor do not involve the same or substantially similar duties and
responsibilities as those performed by the Grantee for the Company (or a
Subsidiary) in a business segment of the new employer which competes with the
business segment(s) with which the Grantee worked or had supervisory authority
over while employed by the Company (or a Subsidiary).

 

(c)           This paragraph (c) shall apply if the Grantee is an executive
officer or officer (as defined in Rule 3b-7or Rule 3b-2 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934). In accordance with the Company’s policy adopted by the
Board on the Potential Impact on Compensation from Executive Misconduct, if it
is determined, within eighteen full calendar months after the date on which the
Grantee became entitled to receive any PBA Shares, that the Grantee engaged in
misconduct resulting in the inaccurate reporting of the Company’s financial
results, and the number of PBA Shares the Grantee became entitled to receive
(the “Incorrect Number of Shares”) was greater than the number of PBA shares
that would have been awarded, paid or delivered to, or realized by, the Grantee,
if calculated based on the accurate reporting of financial results (the “Correct
Number of Shares”), then (I) if the Grantee has not yet received the PBA Shares,
the number of PBA Shares to which the Grantee shall be entitled shall be
immediately reduced from the Incorrect Number of Shares to the Correct Number of
Shares, (II) if the Grantee has received the PBA Shares, then the Grantee shall
immediately deliver to the Company that number of PBA Shares equal to the
difference between the Incorrect Number of Shares and the Correct Number of
Shares (the

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

“Forfeited Shares”), and (III) if the Grantee has received the PBA Shares and
sold any of the Forfeited Shares, the Grantee shall immediately deliver to the
Company all proceeds from the sales of such Forfeited Shares. The PBA Shares and
proceeds to be delivered under clauses (II) and (III) may be reduced to reflect
the Grantee’s liability for taxes payable on such PBA Shares and/or proceeds.
The Company’s remedies set forth in this section 6(c) for the Grantee engaging
in misconduct resulting in the inaccurate reporting of the Company’s financial
results are in addition to any other remedies available to the Company or
imposed by law enforcement agencies, regulators or other authorities.

 

(d)           In the event clause 6 is unenforceable in the jurisdiction in
which the Grantee is employed on the date hereof, it nevertheless shall be
enforceable to the full extent permitted by the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in
which the Grantee engages in any activity prohibited by this clause 6.

 

7.             Issuance of Shares.  Subject to section 11(e) below, any shares
of unrestricted 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 of which (as of the date the Grantee becomes
entitled to receive such shares) 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, the
Company’s obligation to deliver such shares of Common Stock shall be subject to
receipt by the Company or Subsidiary of such payment in available funds. 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.

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

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 a Subsidiary, or shall interfere in any way with the
right of the Company or Subsidiary 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.

 

12.           Notices.  Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement
shall be deemed given when delivered personally, or when deposited in a United
States Post Office, postage prepaid, addressed, as appropriate, to the Grantee
at the last address specified in Grantee’s employment records, or such other
address as the Grantee may designate in writing to the Company, Attention: 
Corporate Secretary, or such other address as the Company may designate in
writing to the Grantee.

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

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.

 

14.           Governing Law; Disputes.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the
conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any disputes arising under or in
connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a
three arbitrators constituting an Employment Dispute Tribunal, to be held in
Connecticut in accordance with the commercial rules and procedures of the
American Arbitration Association.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the
arbitrator shall be final and subject to appeal only to the extent permitted by
law.  Each party shall bear such party’s own expenses incurred in connection
with any arbitration. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, each party
hereto has the right to proceed with a court action for injunctive relief or
relief from violations of law not within the jurisdiction of an arbitrator.

 

15.           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall
represent one and the same agreement.

 

16.           Miscellaneous.  This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated
orally. This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement between the
