Employee has received this Transition, Severance, and Release Agreement with Reaffirmation Obligations (the “Agreement”) on November 26, 2018, and the last day of Employee’s employment will be February 28, 2019 (the “Last Day of Employment”). The purpose of this Agreement is to state the conditions of Employee’s termination without cause and to resolve any employment-related issues that exist or might exist between Employee and Team. This Agreement is presented to Employee for Employee to sign as a condition to Employee’s receipt of certain benefits as set forth in the Team, Inc. Corporate Executive Officer Compensation and Benefits Continuation Policy, as amended (the “Severance Policy”). Reference is made to the Letter Agreement for Consulting Services, of even date herewith, between Team, Inc. and Employee (the “Consulting Agreement”).

B. TEAM’S PROMISES TO EMPLOYEE

In exchange for the promises of Employee set forth below and Employee’s continued compliance with these promises, Team agrees to do the following:

(1) Continued Pay Through Last Day of Employment. Employee will continue at-will employment with Team in the position of Special Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer to provide transition services to Team through the Last Day of Employment, and Team agrees to continue paying Employee his current base salary, less applicable withholdings as required by law or currently in place (“Base Salary”), on the regular Team pay dates through the Last Day of Employment, so long as neither Team nor Employee has terminated the employment relationship as set forth in Section D(5) below.

(2) Severance Pay.

(a) Continuation of Base Monthly Salary. Team agrees to provide severance pay to Employee in the form of a continuation of the Employee’s base monthly salary at the Employee’s base monthly salary level immediately prior to the Last Day of Employment for fifteen (15) months. If such base salary continuation payments do not exceed the Employee’s Compensation Limit, as defined in the Severance Policy, such payments shall be made in thirty (30) equal installments payable on the 15th and again on the last day of each month, beginning on the last day of the second month following the month in which the Employee’s Last Day of Employment occurs (and after the expiration of the seven-day revocation period stated in the Reaffirmation referenced below). If such base salary continuation payments exceed the Employee’s Compensation Limit, as defined in the Severance Policy, (a) a separate payment equal to the difference between the Employee’s base salary continuation payments and the Employee’s Compensation Limit shall be paid to the Employee on or before the later of the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Employee’s taxable year in which the Employee’s Last Day of Employment occurs or the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the Employee’s Last Day of Employment occurs (and after the expiration of the seven-day revocation period stated in the Reaffirmation referenced below), and (b) those salary continuation payments that do not exceed the Employee’s Compensation Limit shall be made in thirty (30) equal installments payable on the 15th and again on the last day of each month, beginning on the last day of the second month following the month in which the Employee’s Last Day of Employment occurs (and after the expiration of the seven-day revocation period stated in the Reaffirmation referenced below). For purposes of Section 409A (defined below), the Employee’s right to a series of installment payments shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

(b) Lump Sum Payment. Team also agrees to provide additional severance pay in the form of a single sum payment in the amount of Twenty Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($20,500.00) of which (i) Five Thousand ($5,000) (paid in lieu of the outplacement services provided under the Severance Policy) is to be payable within fifteen days following the Last Day of Employment (and after the expiration of the seven-day revocation period stated in the Reaffirmation referenced below) and (ii) Fifteen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($15,500.00) to be payable on the 60th day following the Last Day of Employment (and after the expiration of the seven-day revocation period stated in the Reaffirmation referenced below).

(c) The Severance Pay may be eligible for reduction in accordance with Section II of the Severance Policy. From the Severance Pay, Team also will withhold, as required, for state and federal taxes, FICA, and other required payroll deductions, but will not withhold for the Team, Inc. Salary Deferral Plan and Trust (“401(k) Plan”), health and welfare plans or other benefit plans. The Severance Payment will not be eligible for employer matching under the 401(k) Plan.

(3) Special Vesting Agreement. Following the Last Day of Employment and after the expiration of the seven-day revocation period stated in the Reaffirmation referenced below, the unvested restricted stock units set forth on Exhibit A-1 to this Agreement shall continue to vest in accordance with their terms, subject to Employee’s continued employment through the applicable vesting dates. Subject to Employee’s provision of the Consulting Services (as defined in the Consulting Agreement) pursuant to the Consulting Agreement through the earlier of (a) May 31, 2019, and (b) (i) the termination of the Consulting Agreement pursuant to Section 1(a) of the Consulting Agreement or (ii) the termination of the Consulting Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 1(e) of the Consulting Agreement (such earlier date, the “Consulting Termination Date”), Team will vest Employee’s unvested time-based restricted stock units previously awarded pursuant to the Team, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2006 Plan”), the Team, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2016 Plan”) or the Team, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, collectively with the 2006 Plan and the 2016 Plan, the “Plan Documents”), as applicable, such associated Restricted Stock Unit Agreements as listed on Exhibit “A” (the “RSU Agreements”), except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and deliver the underlying shares to Employee in accordance with the original vesting schedule as set forth on Exhibit “A” to this Agreement under the “Future Delivery Dates” column (the “Special Vesting”). From the Special Vesting, Team will withhold, as required, for any local, state and federal taxes, FICA, and other required payroll deductions (“Deductions”), but will not withhold for the 401(k) Plan, health and welfare plans or other benefit plans. The Special Vesting will not be eligible for employer matching under the 401(k) Plan. To the extent that any of the Deductions are required at or prior to the delivery date of the underlying shares, Team, at its option, may withhold the required amount of the Deductions from any other compensation due Employee or require Employee to remit such required Deductions to Team in cash prior to delivery of the shares. If Employee violates any of the provisions of this Agreement or breaches Employee’s obligations under the Consulting Agreement, then any shares of Team’s stock that would have been delivered to Employee on a “Future Delivery Date” shall be forfeited on the date such violation occurs. All other terms and conditions of the RSU Agreements and the Plan Documents remain in full force and effect. The parties agree that this Section shall be deemed to be a “Special Vesting Agreement” for purposes of the time-based Restricted Stock Unit Awards listed on Exhibit “A”.

(4) 2018 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan. Employee will be eligible for any incentive award earned under the terms and conditions of the 2018 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan for named executive officers, subject to approval of the Compensation Committee, under the same terms and conditions as if Employee was continuously employed through the date of the award, and without reduction due to this Agreement being signed prior to the end of the calendar year or due to Employee’s Last Day of Employment occurring before the date the award is paid. This amount will be paid at the same time as awards are paid to other recipients under the 2018 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan.

(5) Non-disparagement. Team agrees that it will instruct its corporate executive officers not publish or make in any manner any oral or written statements about Employee that are untrue, defamatory, disparaging, malicious, obscene, threatening, harassing, intimidating or discriminatory and which are designed to harm.

(6) Acknowledgement and Agreement. Employee acknowledges that all of the consideration provided in this Agreement by Team is not owed to Employee without his agreement to and compliance with all terms of this Agreement. Any breach by Employee of this Agreement or the Consulting Agreement will relinquish Employee’s rights to the consideration from Team under this Agreement, including all of the payments made under Sections B(2), any future vesting of unvested shares under Section B(3), and forfeiture of any Returnable Share Value as stated in the RSU Agreements under Section 3(B).

Further, this access to Confidential Information will continue through Employee’s Last Day of Employment.

The venue for any dispute between the parties arising from or relating to this Agreement or Employee’s obligations hereunder shall be exclusively in the federal and state courts of Xxxxxx County, Texas, unless another forum is required by applicable law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the conflict of law provisions of any jurisdiction. Both Employee and
Team waive a trial by jury of any or all issues arising in any action or proceeding between them or their successors, under or connected with this Agreement, and consent to trial by the judge.

(21) No Admission of Liability. The parties understand and acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of any current or potential claims. No action taken by the parties hereto, either previously or in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be (a) an admission of the truth or falsity of any current or potential claims theretofore made, or (b) an acknowledgement or admission by either party of any fault or liability whatsoever to the other party or to any third party.

(22) Representations; Modifications; Severability; Assignment. Employee acknowledges that Employee has not relied upon any representations or statements, written or oral, not set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement supplements and does not limit or restrict or alter in any way any legal obligations or agreements regarding fiduciary duties, non-disclosure, non-disparagement, non-solicitation, and non-competition. This Agreement cannot be modified except in writing and signed by both parties. However, if any part of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such unenforceable portion shall be modified by the court to be enforceable. If modification is not possible, then such unenforceable provision will be severed from and shall have no effect upon the remaining portions of the Agreement. Team may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and this Agreement inures to the benefit of any successor of Team.

(23) No Waiver. No failure by either party at any time to give notice of any breach by the other party of, or to require compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement shall (i) be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time or (ii) preclude insistence upon strict compliance in the future.

(24) Notices. Any notices regarding acceptance, rejection, revocation or any other matters arising under this Agreement shall be sent by a method of delivery which provides a receipt of delivery and shall be addressed as provided below. Any change of contact information listed below shall be promptly reported to the other party at the address below. Notices to Employee should be addressed to Employee’s home address on file with Team. Notices to Team should be addressed to the EVP, Chief Legal Officer for Team, Inc. located at 00000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 00000. Such notice may be delivered by fax to xxx.xxx.xxxx or electronic mail (with confirmed receipt) to xxxxx@Xxxxxxx.xxx.

D. MISCELLANEOUS TERMS AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES

In exchange for the promises made by and to Employee and Team, they mutually agree to the following terms:

(1) Either party may enforce the Agreement in court if the other party breaches it or threatens to breach it.

(2) If a court or governmental agency finds any part illegal or refuses to enforce any part of the Agreement, the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected and will remain in force, with the specific exception that if the waiver and release of claims are found to be invalid or unenforceable, Employee agrees to return all amounts paid pursuant to this Agreement.

(3) Team does not admit violating any state, federal, or local laws by entering into this Agreement.

(4) This Agreement and the Reaffirmation to be signed on or after the Last Day of Employment contain the entire and only Agreement between Team and Employee regarding Employee’s transition duties and termination of employment. All oral or written promises or assurances that are not contained in the Agreement are waived, invalid, and unenforceable, other than any otherwise existing obligations of Employee under contract or under the law regarding duties of confidentiality, non-solicitation, or non-competition or fiduciary duties, which shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may not be modified except in a writing signed by Employee and an authorized officer of Team.

(5) Early Termination of Employment. Team shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment at any time for any reason. If Employee’s termination occurs after this Agreement has been presented to Employee and is determined by the CEO of the Company to have been for “Cause,” Employee shall not be entitled to any further payments or benefits under this Agreement and Team shall have the right to recover any benefits already provided under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) the commission of a crime involving dishonesty, breach of trust, or physical harm to any person; (ii) employee willfully engages in conduct that is in bad faith and materially injurious to Team, including but not limited to, misappropriation of trade secrets, fraud, or embezzlement; (iii) a material breach of this Agreement or (iv) Employee’s willful refusal to implement or follow a lawful policy or directive of Team.

Either party may terminate Employee’s employment at any time for any reason. In the event of such early termination for any reason other than for “Cause”, as described above, Employee shall be entitled to all payments and benefits due pursuant to Section B of this Agreement, except for the continuation of Base Salary beyond the actual termination date, as set forth in Sections B(1) and C(2) above.

E. EMPLOYEE’S ASSURANCES TO TEAM

The Agreement is a legal document with legal consequences. Team wants to be certain that Employee fully understands the legal effect of signing this Agreement. Employee, therefore, makes the following assurances:

(1) Employee has carefully read the complete Agreement.

(2) The Agreement is written in language that is understandable to Employee.

(3) Employee understands all of the provisions of this Agreement.

(4) Employee understands that this Agreement is a waiver of any and all rights Employee may have against Team and all the other parties listed in Section C(4), including any and all rights under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act for claims of age discrimination.

(5) Employee wants to enter this Agreement. Employee recognizes that the Agreement is financially beneficial to him and that Employee willingly waives any and all rights in exchange for the promises of Team in this Agreement.

(6) Employee enters this Agreement freely and voluntarily. Employee is not under coercion or duress whatsoever in considering or agreeing to the provisions of this Agreement.

(7) Employee understands that this Agreement is a contract and that either party may enforce it.

(8) Employee has been given a period of twenty-one (21) calendar days to consider the terms of the offer contained in this Agreement. This twenty-one (21) day period has provided Employee with sufficient time to consider his options and to seek the advice of legal counsel, tax or financial advisors, family members, and anyone else whose advice Employee values. Employee understands that Employee does not need to take twenty-one (21) calendar days to consider this Agreement if Employee does not wish to do so, but Employee understands that any decision to sign before that time has expired has been made voluntarily and not because of any fraud or coercion or improper conduct by Team.

(9) After signing this Agreement, Employee has a period of seven (7) calendar days to revoke. Employee can revoke this Agreement by notifying Team in writing of his wish to do so within the seven (7) day period. The notice of revocation must be sent as designated in the Notices Section. In fact, this Agreement is not effective until the eighth (8th) calendar day after it is signed by Employee, provided the Agreement is not revoked by that day (the “Effective Date”). No payments under this Agreement (other than continued regular compensation during employment) shall be made until after the Effective Date of this Agreement and under the Reaffirmation Agreement.

(10) Employee agrees and acknowledges that, without all of his promises in this Agreement, Employee is not otherwise entitled to any consideration or amount(s) that may be paid under this Agreement.

(11) Team has urged Employee, in writing, to review this document with Employee’s lawyer prior to signing.

PLEASE READ AND CONSIDER THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING IT. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A GENERAL RELEASE OF ALL KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CLAIMS EMPLOYEE MAY HAVE AGAINST TEAM.
