                          AMENDMENT OF JANUARY 9, 1997

                                 TO TEAM, INC.

               RESTATED NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN
                      (As amended through March 28, 1996)


       WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Team, Inc. during a meeting held on
January 9, 1997, adopted a resolution amending the Team, Inc. Restated Non-
Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan ("Plan") to increase the maximum number
of shares which may be offered pursuant to the Plan from 220,000 to 265,000.

       NOW, THEREFORE, by order of the Board of Directors, Paragraph 4 of the
Plan has been amended in its entirety to read as follows:

              "4.    Common Stock Subject to Options.  The aggregate number of
       shares of the Company's Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise
       of Options granted under the Plan shall not exceed 265,000, subject to
       adjustment under the provisions of Paragraph 7.  The shares of Common
       Stock to be issued upon the exercise of Options may be authorized but
       unissued shares, shares issued and reacquired by the Company or shares
       bought on the market for the purposes of the Plan.  In the event any
       Option shall, for any reason, terminate or expire or be surrendered
       without having been exercised in full, the shares subject to such Option
       but not purchased thereunder shall again be available for Options to be
       granted under the Plan."

EFFECTIVE as of January 9, 1997.
