                                 STEELCASE INC.
                          RESTORATION RETIREMENT PLAN

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

     WHEREAS, Steelcase Inc. (the "Company") has established and maintains the
Steelcase Inc. Restoration Retirement Plan, effective March 1, 1998; and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7.1, the Company has reserved to its Board of
Directors the right to amend the Plan at any time; and

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has delegated to its
Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") the necessary authority to
amend the Plan; and

     WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee desires to amend the Plan's definition
of competition to make it uniform with the definition used in the Company's
other non-qualified plans.

     NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE PREMISES, Section 6.3(ii) of the
Plan is amended, effective October 1, 1999, to read as follows:

          "ii. Competition.  Directly or indirectly engaging in competition with
     Steelcase or any subdivision, subsidiary, or affiliate of Steelcase
     (collectively, the 'Company') at any time during employment with the
     Company or during the three (3) year period following termination of
     employment with the Company, without prior approval of the administrative
     Committee. A Plan Participant engages in competition if that person
     participates directly or indirectly in the manufacture, design or
     distribution of any products of the same type as those of the Company,
     including, but not limited to, office furniture, office systems or
     architectural products, or the providing of any related services, for or on
     behalf of any person or entity other than the Company and its authorized
     dealers, at any location within or without the United States of America. It
     is intended that this definition shall be enforced to the fullest extent
     permitted by law. If any part of this definition shall be construed to be
     invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, then such


     definition shall be construed in a manner so as to permit its
     enforceability to the fullest extent permitted by law."

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this First Amendment to the
Steelcase Inc. Restoration Retirement Plan to be executed by its duly authorized
officer this 29/th/ day of February, 2000.
