**Exhibit 10.1**<br>

#### COOPERATION AGREEMENT

This Cooperation Agreement (this "<u>Agreement</u>"), dated as of March 3, 2026 (the "<u>Effective Date</u>"), is made by and among Hexcel Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Company</u>"), and the persons set forth under the "<u>Vision One Parties</u>" caption in the signature pages hereto (collectively with their Affiliates or Associates (as defined below), the "<u>Vision One Parties</u>") (the Company and the Vision One Parties together, the "<u>Parties</u>" and each a "<u>Party</u>").

WHEREAS, the Vision One Parties beneficially own an aggregate of 640,329 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "<u>Common Stock</u>"), of the Company issued and outstanding on the date hereof;

WHEREAS, the Vision One Parties and the Company have engaged in discussions concerning the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company (the "<u>Board</u>");

WHEREAS, on January 6, 2026, Vision One Fund, LP submitted a letter to the Company (the "<u>Nomination Notice</u>"), nominating certain director candidates to be elected to the Board at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the "<u>2026 Annual Meeting</u>"); and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Vision One Parties desire to enter into an agreement regarding the appointment of Neal J. Keating to the Board and certain other matters, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Company Board and Related Matters</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Board Composition</u>. Promptly (but in no event later than one (1) Business Day) following the Effective Date, the Board and all applicable committees thereof shall take all such actions as are necessary to (i) increase the size of the Board by one (1) director to ten (10) directors and (ii) appoint Neal J. Keating (the "<u>New Director</u>") as a member of the Board with a term expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting. The Company agrees that to the extent that the New Director is able and willing to continue to serve on the Board, the Company will include the New Director in the Company's slate of recommended nominees standing for election at the 2026 Annual Meeting and support and solicit proxies for the election of the New Director at the 2026 Annual Meeting in the same manner as for the Company's other nominees at the 2026 Annual Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>New Director Agreements, Arrangements and Understandings</u>. The Vision One Parties represent, warrant, and agree that, none of them nor any of their Affiliates (i) have paid or will pay any compensation to the New Director in connection with such person's service on the Board or any committee thereof or (ii) have or will have any agreement, arrangement or understanding, written or oral, with the New Director regarding such person's service on the Board or any committee thereof, including, any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to (x) how such New Director shall act or vote on any issue or question or (y) any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with such New Director's service on the Board or any committee thereof. For purposes of this <u>Section 1(b)</u>, all references to "New Director" shall also apply to any Replacement Director (as defined below), as applicable.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Size of Board</u>. Following the Effective Date and until the 2026 Annual Meeting, the size of the Board shall not exceed ten (10) directors (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the New Director). Following the 2026 Annual Meeting and until the Expiration Date, the size of the Board shall not exceed nine (9) directors (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the New Director); provided that the Board may increase its size to ten (10) directors with the prior written consent of the Vision One Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In furtherance thereof, the Company agrees that the Board shall nominate only nine (9) individuals for election to the Board at the 2026 Annual Meeting, including the New Director. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Replacement Rights</u>. If the New Director (or any Replacement Director, if applicable) is unable or unwilling to serve as a director for any reason, resigns as a director or is removed as a director prior to the Expiration Date, and at such time the Vision One Parties have aggregate beneficial ownership (as determined under Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (the "<u>Exchange Act</u>")) representing at least 400,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations or similar adjustments (the "<u>Minimum Ownership Threshold</u>"), the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to select, and the Company shall appoint, as promptly as practicable, a substitute person (any such replacement director shall be referred to as a "<u>Replacement Director</u>") mutually agreeable to the Vision One Parties and the Company to serve as a director of the Company (it being understood that the Vision One Parties shall be entitled to continue to select potential replacement directors to present to the Company until such time as the Vision One Parties and the Company mutually agree on an individual to serve as Replacement Director). Any Replacement Director shall be required to (i) qualify as "independent" under New York Stock Exchange ("<u>NYSE</u>") listing standards and the rules and regulations of the SEC, (ii) satisfy the guidelines and policies with respect to service on the Board applicable to all non-management directors (including providing the Onboarding Documentation (as defined below)), and (iii) not have any agreement, arrangement, or understanding, written or oral, with any Vision One Party or any Affiliate or Associate of a Vision One Party regarding such person's service as a director of the Company. Following the appointment of any Replacement Director to replace the New Director (or any Replacement Director) in accordance with this <u>Section 1(d)</u>, all references to the New Director herein shall be deemed to include such Replacement Director (it being understood that this sentence shall apply whether or not references to the New Director expressly state that they include such Replacement Director). If the Vision One Parties' aggregate beneficial ownership (as determined under Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock decreases to less than the Minimum Ownership Threshold, the right of the Vision One Parties pursuant to this <u>Section 1(d)</u> to participate in the recommendation of a Replacement Director to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation or removal of the New Director or any Replacement Director shall terminate. Prior to the appointment of any Replacement Director to the Board, the Replacement Director will submit to the Company the Onboarding Documentation. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term "<u>Onboarding Documentation</u>" shall mean (A) a fully completed copy of the Company's director and officer questionnaire and other reasonable and customary director onboarding documentation required by the Company's policies and procedures applicable to all other non-management directors in connection with the appointment or election of new Board members (including, without limitation, a written consent to a customary background check by a third party), (B) a written acknowledgement in substantially the form entered into by the other directors of the Company that the Replacement Director agrees to be bound by all current policies, codes and guidelines applicable to all other non-management directors of the Company, (C) information requested by the Company that is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing under applicable law, stock exchange rules or listing standards or as may be requested or required by any regulatory or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Company, (D) information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with assessing eligibility, qualification, independence, and other criteria applicable to directors or satisfying compliance and legal obligations and (E) such other information reasonably requested by the Company, including such information as is necessary or appropriate for the Company or its agents to perform a background check in the manner generally performed for non-management directors of the Company, including an executed consent to such background check. Each of the Company and the Vision One Parties agrees that, prior to being appointed to the Board in accordance with this Agreement, the New Director and any Replacement Director, as applicable, shall have delivered to the Company the Onboarding Documentation. Upon the appointment of a Replacement Director to the Board, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to appoint such Replacement Director to any applicable committee or sub-committee of the Board of which the replaced director was a member immediately prior to such director's resignation, retirement or removal, subject to the Replacement Director meeting the applicable standards and qualifications for service on such committee or sub-committee, including under the applicable rules and regulations of the NYSE and the SEC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Committee Appointments</u>. Effective upon the New Director's appointment to the Board, the Board and all applicable committees thereof shall take all necessary actions to appoint the New Director to the Audit Committee of the Board (the "<u>Audit Committee</u>"), subject to the New Director meeting the applicable standards and qualifications for service on the Audit Committee, including under the applicable rules and regulations of the NYSE and the SEC. In accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Board and the Audit Committee thereof shall take all necessary actions to maintain the New Director as a member of such committee until the Expiration Date; <u>provided</u>, that during such period the New Director remains able, willing and eligible to serve on such committee under the applicable rules and regulations of the NYSE and the SEC. In addition, the Company agrees that the New Director shall be given the same due consideration for membership to each other committee of the Board as any other independent director, including any new committee(s) or subcommittee(s) that may be established.

Concurrently with execution of this Agreement, the Board and all applicable committees thereof shall take all necessary action to amend the Audit Committee Charter of the Company to provide that the Audit Committee shall review and oversee the Company's (i) capital allocation framework, including with respect to use or return of available cash and capital structure, in each case, subject to applicable law and (ii) margin improvement efforts. Such amendments to the Audit Committee Charter shall not be modified prior to the expiration of the Expiration Date, except with the written consent of the Vision One Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Voting</u>. Until the Expiration Date, the Vision One Parties shall, or shall cause their respective Affiliates, Associates or representatives to, appear in person or by proxy at any annual meeting or special meeting and vote all shares of Common Stock, over which the Vision One Parties, its Affiliates or Associates respectively have voting power in accordance with the Board's recommendations at any annual meeting or special meeting with respect to (i) the election or removal of directors and (ii) all other matters and proposals up for a stockholder vote; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in the event that Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. ("<u>ISS</u>") or Glass Lewis & Co., LLC ("<u>Glass Lewis</u>") recommend otherwise than the Board with respect to any proposal submitted by the Company or any of its stockholders (other than proposals relating to the election or removal of directors), the Vision One Parties will be permitted to vote in accordance with the ISS or Glass Lewis recommendation in its discretion; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u> that the Vision One Parties and their Affiliates shall be permitted to vote in their sole discretion on any proposal with respect to an Extraordinary Transaction. The term "<u>Extraordinary Transaction</u>" shall mean any tender offer, exchange offer, merger, consolidation, acquisition, scheme, arrangement, sale of all or substantially all assets, sale, spinoff, splitoff or other similar separation of one or more business units, business combination, recapitalization, restructuring or reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar extraordinary transaction involving the Company (including its subsidiaries and joint ventures or any of their respective securities or assets), in each case, for which a shareholder vote is sought by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Withdrawal of Nomination Notice and Solicitation</u>. Concurrently with and effective upon the execution of this Agreement, the Vision One Parties hereby irrevocably withdraw the Nomination Notice, with this Agreement deemed to evidence such withdrawal, and any related materials and notices submitted to the Company in connection therewith or related thereto. The Vision One Parties shall not take any further action in connection with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Nomination Notice (other than the withdrawal set forth in this <u>Section 1(h)</u>) or the 2026 Annual Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Company Policies</u>. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the New Director and any Replacement Director will agree, concurrently with his or her appointment to the Board, to abide by all Company policies and procedures applicable to members of the Board, including confidentiality, conflicts of interest, related person transactions, fiduciary duties, codes of conduct, trading and disclosure policies, director resignation policies, and other corporate governance guidelines and policies of the Company.
