WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Team, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which Restricted Stock Units may be granted; and
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant the award of Restricted Stock Units which become vested based on continued service and the attainment of designated performance goals as provided for herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

(For purposes of Exhibit A, the number of shares listed in the preceding sentence is the “Target Amount”,) Each performance-based Restricted Stock Unit (a “PSU”) represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.
2.Performance Criteria. The Award’s performance period (“Performance Period”) and criteria (“Performance Criteria”) are set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.

3.Determination of Performance. Following completion of the Performance Period and prior to _______ __, _____, the Committee will review and certify in writing whether (i) the Performance Criteria have been satisfied, and (ii) the number of PSUs granted under Section 1 shall be increased as provided in Exhibit A. At that time, the Committee may exercise negative discretion to reduce the number of shares of Common stock to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement. Following the issuance of this certification, the number of PSUs that the Grantee shall earn, if any, shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Grantee, and on all other persons, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

5.Termination of Continuous Service.
5.1 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if the Grantee's employment with the Company terminates for any reason at any time prior to the date payments are made under this Agreement as provided in Section 4 above, all of the PSUs shall be automatically forfeited upon such termination of Continuous Service and neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall have any further obligations to the Grantee under this Agreement.
5.2 Notwithstanding Section 5.1, if the Grantee's Continuous Service terminates during the Performance Period as a result of the Grantee's death or Disability, the Grantee will vest on such date in a portion of the PSUs determined by multiplying (i) the Target Amount by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days that the Grantee was employed between _______ ___, _____ and the date of death or Disability, and the denominator of which equals ____. Any remaining PSUs subject to this Agreement shall be forfeited on the date of death or Disability.
6.Effect of a Change in Control. If there is a Change in Control during the Performance Period, the Grantee shall be vested in the PSUs on the effective date of the Change in Control at the Target Amount, which amount shall be paid no later than thirty (30) days following such Change in Control.
7.Payment of PSUs. Payment in respect of the PSUs earned for the Performance Period shall be made in shares of Common Stock and shall be issued to the Grantee as soon as practicable following the vesting date, provided such payment shall be made not later than ______ __, ______. The Company shall (i) issue and deliver to the Grantee the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of vested PSUs less applicable tax withholding, and (ii) enter the Grantee's name on the books of the Company as the shareholder of record with respect to the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Grantee.

2
entitled to all rights of a shareholder of the Company (including voting and dividend rights, if any).
10.No Right to Continued Service. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee any right to be retained in any position, as an Employee, Consultant or Director of the Company. Further, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed to limit the discretion of the Company to terminate the Grantee's Continuous Service at any time, with or without Cause.
11.Adjustments. If any change is made to the outstanding Common Stock or the capital structure of the Company, if required, the PSUs shall be adjusted or terminated in any manner as contemplated by Section 20 of the Plan.
12.Tax Liability and Withholding.
12.1 The Grantee shall be required to pay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to deduct from any compensation paid to the Grantee pursuant to the Plan, the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect of the PSUs and to take all such other action as the Company deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. As a condition of the receipt of this grant, prior to the vesting of the PSUs Grantee hereby agrees to make such arrangements as the Company may require in order to satisfy any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that the Company, in its sole discretion, determines may arise in connection with the receipt of this grant or the issuance of shares of Common Stock (the “Tax Obligations”). Grantee understands that the Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Common Stock under the Plan unless and until such Tax Obligations are satisfied.
12.2 The Company intends, and Grantee hereby authorizes the Company, to satisfy the Tax Obligations by withholding from the Grantee’s vested PSUs the number of full shares of Common Stock having an aggregate market value at that time of vesting equal to the amount the Company determines are equal to the Tax Obligations, with the remainder to be satisfied by withholding from Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation payable by the Company or your employer. To the extent the Company determines that the number of PSUs or shares of Common Stock withheld pursuant to this Paragraph is insufficient to satisfy such Tax Obligations, Grantee hereby authorizes the Company or Grantee’s employer to deduct from Grantee’s compensation the additional amounts necessary to fully satisfy the Tax Obligations. If the Company chooses not to deduct such amount from Grantee’s compensation, Grantee agrees to pay the Company, in cash or by check, the additional amount necessary to fully satisfy the Tax Obligations. Grantee hereby agrees to take any further actions and execute any additional documents as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Paragraph.
12.3 Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee's responsibility and the Company (i) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the
3
treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant, vesting or settlement of the PSUs or the subsequent sale of any shares, and (ii) does not commit to structure the PSUs to reduce or eliminate the Grantee's liability for Tax-Related Items.
13.Compliance with Law. The issuance and transfer of shares of Common Stock in connection with the PSUs shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Grantee with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company's shares of Common Stock may be listed. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued or transferred unless and until any then applicable requirements of state and federal laws and regulatory agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel.
14.Notices. Any notice required to be delivered to the Company under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the General Counsel of the Company at the Company's principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be delivered to the Grantee under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Grantee at the Grantee's address as shown in the records of the Company.

The terms and provisions of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail.

19.Severability.

20.Discretionary Nature of Plan. The Plan is discretionary and may be amended, cancelled or terminated by the Company at any time, in its discretion. The grant of the PSUs in this Agreement does not create any contractual right or other right to receive any PSUs or other Awards in the future. Future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. Any amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Grantee's employment with the Company.
21.Amendment. The Committee has the right to amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or cancel the PSUs, prospectively or retroactively; provided, that, no such amendment shall adversely affect the Grantee's material rights under this Agreement without the Grantee's consent.
22.Section 162(m). All payments under this Agreement are intended to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. This Award shall be construed and administered in a manner consistent with such intent.
23.Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code or an exemption thereunder and shall be construed and interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for avoiding additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code.
