                        1998 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN


         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Team, Inc. during a meeting held on
September 1, 1999, adopted a resolution amending the Team, Inc. 1998 Incentive
Stock Option Plan ("Plan") effective as of November 3, 1998, to increase the

to 1,000,000.

         NOW, THEREFORE, by order of the Board of Directors, Paragraph 4 of the
Plan has been amended to read in its entirety 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 1,000,000, 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 November 3, 1998.
