               rates, including those of Airbus Industries ("Airbus") and The
               Boeing Company ("Boeing");
         o     expectations regarding growth in sales to regional and business
               aircraft manufacturers, and to the aircraft aftermarket;

               beyond;
         o     expectations regarding the recovery of demand for electronics
               fabrics used in printed wiring boards, as well as future
               business trends in the electronics fabrics industry;
         o     expectations regarding the demand for soft body armor made of
               aramid and specialty fabrics;

         o     expectations regarding our equity in the earnings or losses of
               joint ventures, as well as joint venture investments and loan
               guarantees;

                                      1


         o     expectations regarding working capital trends and capital
               expenditures;
         o     the availability and sufficiency of the existing senior credit
               facility and other financial resources to fund our worldwide
               operations in 2003 and beyond;
         o     amendment of the existing senior credit facility;
         o     the issuance of convertible preferred stock for $125.0 million
               in cash;
         o     refinancing our existing senior credit facility and the
               refinancing of the 7% Convertible Subordinated Notes due August
               1, 2003; and
         o     the impact of various market risks, including fluctuations in
               the interest rates underlying our variable-rate debt,
               fluctuations in currency exchange rates, fluctuations in
               commodity prices, and fluctuations in the market price of our
               common stock.

         Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially
different. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
changes in general economic and business conditions; changes in current
pricing and cost levels; changes in political, social and economic conditions
and local regulations, particularly in Asia and Europe; foreign currency
fluctuations; changes in aerospace delivery rates; reductions in sales to any
significant customers, particularly Airbus or Boeing; changes in sales mix;
changes in government defense procurement budgets; changes in military
aerospace programs technology; industry capacity; competition; disruptions of
established supply channels; manufacturing capacity constraints; and the
availability, terms and deployment of capital.

         If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially
from those expected, estimated or projected. In addition to other factors that
affect our operating results and financial position, neither past financial
performance nor our expectations should be considered reliable indicators of
future performance. Investors should not use historical trends to anticipate
results or trends in future periods. Further, our stock price is subject to
volatility. Any of the factors discussed above could have an adverse impact on
our stock price. In addition, failure of sales or income in any quarter to
meet the investment community's expectations, as well as broader market
trends, can have an adverse impact on our stock price. We do not undertake an
obligation to update its forward-looking statements or risk factors to reflect
future events or circumstances.


                                      2


                                 RISK FACTORS

     You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an
investment decision. The risks described below are not the only ones we face.
Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem
immaterial may also impair our business operations.

               Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness and the Notes

We have substantial debt that could limit our ability to make payments on the
notes and reduce the effectiveness of our operations.

     We have substantial debt and debt service requirements. We cannot assure
you that we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that we
will be able to obtain sufficient funding, to satisfy our debt service
obligations, including the payment of interest and principal at final maturity
on the notes. As of December 31, 2002, after giving pro forma effect to the
anticipated issuance of our preferred stock to investors affiliated with
Berkshire Partners LLC and Greenbriar Equity Group LLC (the "Berkshire and
Greenbriar investors") and investors affiliated with The Goldman Sachs Group,
Inc. (the "Goldman Sachs investors"), $125.0 million of senior secured notes
due 2008, and the expected execution and delivery of our $115.0 million new
senior credit facility (collectively, the "Financing Transactions"), we expect
to have $519.9 million of total debt (of which $340.0 million will consist of
the notes and the balance will consist of other debt). This substantial level
of debt has important consequences, including:

         o     making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with
               respect to these notes;

         o     placing us at competitive disadvantage compared to our
               competitors that have less debt;

         o     limiting our ability to borrow additional amounts for working
               capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements,
               execution of our growth strategy and research and development
               costs;

         o     limiting our ability to use operating cash flow for working
               capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, and
               other areas of our business;

         o     increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and
               industry conditions; and

         o     limiting our ability to capitalize on business opportunities
               and to react to competitive pressures and adverse changes in
               government regulation.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service
obligations, including payments on the notes.

     Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make
scheduled payments on our debt obligations will depend on our future financial
performance, which will be affected by a range of economic, competitive and
business factors, many of which are outside of our control. If we do not
generate sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy our debt obligations,
including payments on the notes, we may have to undertake alternative
financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our debt, selling
assets, reducing or delaying capital investments or seeking to raise
additional capital. We cannot assure you that any refinancing would be
possible, that any assets could be sold, or, if sold, of the timing of the
sales and the amount of proceeds realized from those sales, or that additional
financing could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all, or would be
permitted under the terms of our various debt instruments then in effect. Our
inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, or
to refinance our obligations on commercially reasonable terms, would have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations,
as well as on our ability to satisfy our obligations on the notes.

     We do not expect to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to
repay our new senior credit facility when it matures or the notes when they
mature. We expect that our ability to repay the notes at their scheduled
maturity will be dependent in whole or in part on (i) replacing our new senior
credit facility on or prior to its maturity and (ii) refinancing all or a
portion of the notes before they mature.

                                      3



Despite current indebtedness levels, we and our subsidiaries may still be able
to incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks
associated with our substantial leverage.

     We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional
indebtedness in the future. The terms of the indenture do not fully prohibit
us or our subsidiaries from doing so. If new debt is added to our and our
subsidiaries' current debt levels, the related risks that we and they now face
could intensify.

We may not be able to finance future operations and capital needs because of
restrictions contained in our debt agreements.

     The operating and financial restrictions and covenants that are contained
in our existing debt agreements, that will be contained in our new senior
credit facility and that will be contained in any future financing agreements,
may impair our ability to finance future operations or capital needs. In
addition, we expect our new senior credit facility to require that we maintain
compliance with specified financial ratios. A breach of any of these
restrictions or covenants could cause a default under the notes and our other
debt. A significant portion of our debt may then become immediately due and
payable. We may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make these
accelerated payments, including payments on the notes.

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance the change
of control offer required by the indenture.

     Upon the occurrence of certain specific kinds of change of control
events, we will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding notes at
101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
date of repurchase. However, it is possible that we will not have sufficient
funds at the time of the change of control to make the required repurchase of
notes or that restrictions in our new senior credit facility will not allow
such repurchases. In addition, certain important corporate events, such as
leveraged recapitalizations that would increase the level of our indebtedness,
would not constitute a "Change of Control" under the indenture.

If a reasonably active trading market does not continue for these notes you
may not be able to resell them.

     Though the notes are eligible for trading in PORTAL, we cannot assure you
that an active trading market will continue for the notes. If an active
trading market ceases, you may not be able to resell your notes at their fair
market value or at all. Future trading prices of the notes will depend on many
factors, including, among other things, our ability to effect the exchange
offer, prevailing interest rates, our operating results and the market for
similar securities. We have been informed by the Goldman, Sachs & Co.
("Goldman Sachs") that they currently intend to make a market in these notes.
However, Goldman Sachs may cease their market-making at any time. We do not
intend to apply for listing the notes on any securities exchange.

                        Risks Relating to Our Business

Decreased demand in the commercial aerospace industry could significantly
impair our sales, profit margins and financial condition.

     Further reductions in the demand for new commercial aircraft could result
in reduced net sales for our commercial aerospace products and could further
reduce our profit margins. Approximately 46% of our net sales for the year
ended December 31, 2002 were derived from sales to the commercial aerospace
industry. Reductions in demand for commercial aircraft or a delay in
deliveries could result from many factors, including a terrorist event similar
to that which occurred on September 11, 2001 and any subsequent military
response, changes in the propensity for the general public to travel by air, a
rise in the cost of aviation fuel, consolidation of airlines and slower
macroeconomic growth.

     In addition, our customers continue to emphasize the need for improved
yield in the use of our products and cost reduction throughout the commercial
aerospace supply chain. In response to these pressures, we reduced the price
of some commercial aerospace products in recent years and are likely to
continue to do so in the future. Where possible, we

                                      4



seek to offset or mitigate the impact of such price and cost reductions by
productivity improvements and  reductions in the costs of the materials and
services we procure.

The industries in which we operate are cyclical, and downturns in them may
adversely affect the results of our operations.

     The core industries in which we operate are, to varying degrees, cyclical
and have historically experienced downturns. We are currently in the midst of
cyclical downturns in the commercial aerospace, electronics and ballistics
industries. We cannot assure lenders that there will not be further
deterioration in these industries or as to whether, when and to what extent
these industries will recover. Any further deterioration or a lack of recovery
in these industries could adversely affect our financial performance and
operating results.

A significant decline in business with Boeing or Airbus could materially
impair our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition.

     Approximately 22% and 23% of our sales for the years ended December 31,
2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively were made to Boeing and its related
subcontractors. Approximately 15% and 16% of our sales for the years ended
December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively, were made to the
European Aeronautic Defence Company, including Airbus and related
subcontractors. Accordingly, the loss of, or significant reduction in
purchases by, either of these customers from the Company could materially
impair our operating results and weaken our financial condition.

Reductions in space and defense spending could result in a decline in our net
sales.

     We cannot assure you that the growth in military aircraft production that
has occurred in recent years can be sustained or that production will continue
to grow. The production of military aircraft depends upon U.S. and European
defense budgets and the related demand for defense and related equipment.
There can be no assurance that these defense budgets will not decline or that
sales of defense and related equipment to foreign governments will continue at
expected levels. Approximately 17% of our net sales for the year ended
December 31, 2002 were derived from the space and defense industry. The space
and defense industry is largely dependent upon government defense budgets,
particularly the U.S. defense budget.

A decrease in supply or increase in cost of our raw materials could
result in a material decline in our profitability.

     Because we purchase large volumes of raw materials, such as epoxy and
phenolic resins, aluminum foil, carbon fiber, fiberglass yarn and aramid paper
and fiber, any decrease in the supply or increase in the cost of the our raw
materials could significantly reduce our profit margins. We cannot assure you
that we will experience no decrease in the supply or increase in price of our
raw materials. Our profitability depends largely on the price and continuity
of supply of these raw materials, which are supplied by a limited number of
sources. In addition, qualification to use raw materials in some of our
products limits the extent to which we are able to substitute alternative
materials for these products. Our ability to pass on these costs to our
customers is, to a large extent, dependent on the terms of our contracts with
our customers and industry conditions, including the extent to which our
customers would switch to alternative materials we do not produce in the event
of an increase in the prices of our products.

Our substantial international operations are subject to uncertainties
which could affect our operating results.

     We believe that revenue from sales outside the U.S. will continue to
account for a material portion of our total revenue for the foreseeable
future. Additionally, we have invested significant resources in our
international operations and we intend to continue to make such investments in
the future. Our international operations are subject to numerous risks,
including:

                                      5


         o     the difficulty of enforcing agreements and collecting
               receivables through some foreign legal systems;

         o     fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

         o     foreign customers may have longer payment cycles than customers
               in the U.S.;

         o     compliance with U.S. Department of Commerce export controls;

         o     tax rates in some foreign countries may exceed those of the
               U.S. and foreign earnings may be subject to withholding
               requirements or the imposition of tariffs, exchange controls or
               other restrictions;

         o     general economic and political conditions in the countries
               where we operate may have an adverse effect on our operations
               in those countries or not be favorable to our growth strategy;

         o     the risk that foreign governments may adopt regulations or take
               other actions that would have a direct or indirect adverse
               impact on our business and market opportunities; and

         o     the potential difficulty in enforcing intellectual property
               rights in some foreign countries.

     Any one of the above could adversely affect our financial condition and
results of operations, our ability to make scheduled payments of principal of
or interest on the notes and the market value and liquidity of the notes.

     During the past several years, some countries in which we operate or plan
to operate have been characterized by varying degrees of inflation and uneven
growth rates. We currently do not have political risk insurance in the
countries in which we conduct business. While we carefully consider these
risks when evaluating our international operations, we cannot assure you that
we will not be materially adversely affected as a result of such risks.

We could be adversely affected by environmental and safety requirements.

     Our operations, like those of other companies engaged in similar
businesses, requires the handling, use, storage and disposal of certain
regulated materials. As a result, we are subject to various federal, state,
regional, local and foreign laws and regulations pertaining to pollution and
protection of the environment, health and safety, governing among other
things, emissions to air, discharge to waters and the generation, handling,
storage, treatment and disposal of waste and other materials, and remediation
of contaminated sites. We have made and will continue to make capital and
other expenditures in order to comply with these laws and regulations.
However, the requirements of these laws and regulations are complex, change
frequently, and could become more stringent in the future.

     We have been named as "potentially responsible parties" under the federal
Superfund law or similar state laws at several sites requiring clean up based
on disposal of wastes they generated. These laws generally impose liability
for costs to investigate and remediate contamination without regard to fault
and under certain circumstances liability may be joint and several resulting
in one responsible party being held responsible for the entire obligation.
Liability may also include damages to natural resources. In addition to the
foregoing, we have incurred and likely will continue to incur expenses to
investigate and clean up several existing and former company-owned or leased
property. We have incurred substantial expenses for all these sites over a
number of years, a portion of which has been covered by insurance. Although it
is possible that new information could require us to reassess our potential
exposure to all pending investigations and remediations, we believe that,
based on currently available information, the resolution of these matters will
not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or
results of operations. See the section entitled "Legal Proceedings" in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, which is
incorporated herein by reference.


                                      6


     We believe that our business, operations and facilities are being
operated in substantial compliance with applicable environmental and health
and safety laws and regulations, many of which provide for substantial fines
and criminal sanctions for violations. Based on information presently known to
us and accrued environmental reserves, we do not expect environmental costs or
contingencies to have a material adverse effect on us. However, potentially
material expenditures could be required in the future. For example, we may be
required to comply with evolving environmental and health and safety laws,
regulations or requirements that may be adopted or imposed in the future or to
address newly discovered information or conditions that require a response.
The operation of manufacturing plants entails risks in these areas, however,
and there can be no assurance that we will not incur material costs or
liabilities in the future which could adversely effect us.

     Most of our properties have been the subject of Phase I Environmental
Site Assessments. However, there can be no assurance that all potential
instances of soil and groundwater contamination have been identified, even at
those sites where Environmental Site Assessments have been conducted.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not discover previously
unknown environmental conditions or that the cost of remediating such
conditions will not be material.

The interests of our significant shareholders may be different than your
interests.

     Upon consummation of our preferred stock financing, the Goldman Sachs
investors and the Berkshire and Greenbriar investors will each have the
ability to influence our affairs so long as each maintains its ownership of
respective specified percentages of our outstanding voting securities, and the
interests of each of these investors may not in all cases be the same as your
interests. After issuance of the preferred stock, the Goldman Sachs investors
will own approximately 38% of our outstanding voting securities and the
Berkshire and Greenbriar investors will together own approximately 35% of our
outstanding voting securities. Under our governance agreement with the Goldman
Sachs investors, the Goldman Sachs investors are entitled to designate up to
three people to serve on our ten-member Board of Directors, and are entitled
to designate one director to serve on each committee of our Board of
Directors. Under the stockholders agreement we have agreed to enter into with
the Berkshire and Greenbriar investor group, the Berkshire and Greenbriar
investors will be entitled to designate up to two people to serve on our Board
of Directors, and will be entitled to designate one director to serve on each
committee of our Board of Directors. In addition, the governance agreement and
the stockholders agreement each provide that our Board of Directors will not
authorize specified types of significant transactions without the approval of
the directors designated by each of the respective investors. The interests of
these investors may be different than your interests.

(1)    Calculated as one third of rentals, which is a reasonable approximation
       of the interest factor.

(2)    Earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges for 2001 and 1999. The
       deficiency in earnings for the years ended December 31, 2001 and
       December 31, 1999 is $(383.7) and $(5.0), respectively.



                                USE OF PROCEEDS

         This prospectus is delivered in connection with the sale of the notes
by Goldman Sachs in market-making transactions. We will not receive any of the
proceeds from such transactions.

                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         This prospectus supplement is to be used by Goldman Sachs and other
broker-dealer subsidiaries of Goldman Sachs in connection with offers and
sales of the notes in market-making transactions effected from time to time.
Goldman Sachs may act as a principal or agent in such transactions, including
as agent for the counterparty when acting as principal or as agent for both
counterparties, and may receive compensation in the form of discounts and
commissions, including from both counterparties when it acts as agent for
both. Such sales will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of sale,
at prices related thereto or at negotiated prices.

         Certain affiliates of Goldman Sachs beneficially own Hexcel common
stock, which in the aggregate constitutes approximately 38% of the equity
ownership of Hexcel as of December 31, 2002. Goldman Sachs has informed us
that it does not intend to confirm sales of the notes to any accounts over
which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written
approval of such transactions by the customer.

     We have been advised by Goldman Sachs that, subject to applicable laws
and regulations, Goldman Sachs currently intends to continue to make a market
in the notes. However, Goldman Sachs is not obligated to do so, and any such
market-making may be interrupted or discontinued at any time without notice.
In addition, such market-making activity will be subject to the limits imposed
by the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. There
can be no assurance that an active trading market will be sustained. See "Risk
Factors--If a reasonably active trading market does not continue for these
notes you may not be able to resell them."

         Goldman Sachs and their respective affiliates may in the future
engage in commercial and/or investment banking transactions with Hexcel and
its affiliates. Goldman Sachs acted as an initial purchaser in connection with
the initial sale of the notes and received a customary underwriting discount
in connection with that transaction.

         Hexcel will not receive any of the proceeds of such sales of the
notes.

                    INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

         Set forth below is a description of certain provisions of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company and the Hexcel Corporation Incentive Stock Plan,
as amended and the Hexcel Corporation 1998 Broad Based Incentive Stock Plan,
as amended (together, the "Incentive Stock Plans"), as such provisions relate
to the indemnification of the directors and officers of the Company. This
description is intended only as a summary and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the applicable provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company, the Bylaws of the Company and the Incentive
Stock Plans, which are incorporated herein by reference.

         Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or
in the right of such corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at its request in such capacity at another corporation or business
organization, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such person's
conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and
directors against expenses (including attorneys' fees) in an action by or in
the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no
indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or
director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or
director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action
referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses
that such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.

         Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its
certificate of incorporation that a director of a corporation shall not be
personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of his fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that such
clause shall not apply to any liability of a director (i) for any breach of
the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL
(Liability of Directors for Unlawful Payment of Dividend or Unlawful Stock
Purchase or Redemption) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit.

         The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides for the
elimination of personal liability of a director for breach of fiduciary duty,
to the full extent permitted by the DGCL. The Company's Certificate of
Incorporation also provides that the Company shall indemnify its directors and
officers to the full extent permitted by the DGCL; provided, however, that the
Company shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection
with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was
authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Certificate of
Incorporation further provides that the Company may, to the extent authorized
from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification
similar to those provided to the directors and officers of the Company to the
employees and agents of the Company who are not directors or officers of the
Company.

         Pursuant to the Incentive Stock Plans, no member of the Executive
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, or such other
committee or committees of the Board of Directors as may be designated by the
Board of Directors from time to time to administer the Incentive Stock Plans,
shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith, and the
members of such committee or committees shall be entitled to indemnification
in the manner provided in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation.

Item 22.  Undertakings

         (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
         being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
         statement:

                       (i) To include any prospectus required by Section
               10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.

                       (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
               arising after the effective date of the registration statement
               (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
               individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
               change in the information set forth in the registration
               statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
               decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar
               value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
               registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
               estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
               of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
               the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
               more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
               price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table
               in the effective registration statement.

                       (iii) To include any material information with respect
               to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
               registration statement or any material change to such
               information in the registration statement.

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
         the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall
         be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
         securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
         that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
         thereof.


                                    II-12


                  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
         amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
         at the termination of the offering.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

                  (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the
         Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus
         filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule
         430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant
         pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act
         shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the
         time it was declared effective.

                  (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
         Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
         prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
         relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
         securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
         offering thereof.

                  (3) For purposes of determining any liability under the
         Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report
         pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
         Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
         benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in
         the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
         statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
         offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
         initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to
requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus
pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of
receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class
mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in
documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement
through the date of responding to the request.

         (c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means
of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and
the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the registration statement when it became effective.


                                    II-13



                                  SIGNATURES

registrant certifies that it has duly caused this registration statement to be
signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city
of Stamford, state of Connecticut, on February 28, 2003.
