     WHEREAS, Steelcase Inc. (the "Company") has established and maintains the

     NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE PREMISES, Section 1.6 of the Plan is
amended, effective October 1, 1999, to read as follows:

     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

     permitted by law."

Steelcase Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan to be executed by its duly authorized
officer this 29/th/ day of February, 2000.
