         Re:      Amended and Restated Loan Agreement ("Agreement") dated
                  August 24, 1995 between Team, Inc. ("Borrower") and Texas
                  Commerce Bank ("Bank")
Dear John:

         The Bank hereby permanently waives the violation of the covenant
contained in Section 10.01(k) of the Agreement regarding the departure of H.
Wesley Hall of which the Bank was informed on August 25, 1995, subject to the
Borrower's agreement on the following modifications to the Agreement (all of
which will be embodied in a formal amendment to the Agreement as soon as
practicable):

         1.       The maturity date for both the Revolver and the Term Loan
                  will be December 1, 1996.

         2.       A revised amortization of the Term Loan will require quarterly
                  payments of principal in the amount of $350,000 commencing
                  September 30, 1995.

         3.       The Company will apply 50% of the net cash proceeds from the
                  sale of its 801 Projects as a prepayment on the Term Loan. In
                  addition, the Company will assign to the Bank 100% of any
                  deferred purchase price consideration.

         4.       The existing management change clause contained in Section
                  10.01(k) of the Agreement will be deleted and replaced in its
                  entirety by a management change clause which will read in its
                  entirety as follows:
                                      -1-

                           "(k)     Any change is made in the individual holding
                                    the position of Chief Executive Officer of
                                    Borrower unless the Bank consents to such
                                    change within ten (10) Business Days after
                                    the earlier of written notice thereof from
                                    Borrower to Bank or the appointment or
                                    election of a new Chief Executive Officer,
                                    which consent will not be unreasonably
                                    withheld; or"

         5.       New affirmative covenants will be required:

                  o        to give Bank notice of any termination or withdrawal
                           of Borrower's CEO;

                  o        to require delivery of notice of appointment of a
                           new CEO along with his/her resume and references; and

                  o        to give Bank notice of acting CEO's in the interim
                           while a search is made for a new CEO.

         6.       The key-man life insurance on Wes Hall will be released, and a
                  $2,000,000 key-man life insurance policy will be required on
                  William Ryan, subject to such insurance coverage being
                  reasonably available.

         7.       With regard to calculation of the Current Ratio in Section
                  9.13 of the Agreement, the Borrower will be permitted to not
                  treat the entire Indebtedness as a current liability, rather
                  only the scheduled principal payments which become due in the
                  subject period will be included.

                  Similar adjustments will be made for calculation of the Fixed
                  Charged Coverage Ratio and any other financial covenants in
                  the Agreement, as necessary, to avoid any default of such
                  financial covenants occasioned by the Indebtedness being
                  considered a current liability.

                                      -2-

          If the foregoing meets with your understanding of our agreement on
these matters, please so signify by signing and returning a copy of this to the
attention of the undersigned.

Sincerely,

TEXAS COMMERCE BANK NATIONAL
