                          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.
