            ESCROW AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY, MOORES' SHAREHOLDERS
                  AND COMERICA BANK-TEXAS, DATED APRIL 3, 1998
<PAGE>
                                ESCROW AGREEMENT

        THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is among Industrial Holdings,
Inc. a Texas corporation ("IHI"), and Donald P. Carlin, Alan P. Bernard, Joseph
M. Guillory and Stephen J. Smith, formerly the shareholders (each a
"Shareholder" and collectively, the "Shareholders") of Moores Pump and Supply,
Inc. (the "Company"), and Comerica Bank-Texas, Dallas, Texas (the "Escrow
Agent"), which parties agree as follows:

        INTRODUCTION. Industrial Holdings, Inc., a Texas corporation ("IHI") and
Industrial Holdings Acquisition One, Inc., a Texas corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of IHI ("Newco"), are parties to an Agreement and Plan
of Merger dated as of the date hereof (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to
which Newco is merging with and into the Company (the "Merger") in exchange for
shares of IHI Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "IHI Shares").

        The Shareholders are depositing into escrow with the Escrow Agent
160,000 IHI Shares (the "Escrowed Shares") in order to settle any claims for
Damages that IHI may have under Article VIII of the Merger Agreement. The Escrow
Agent is not a party to be bound by, or charged with notice of the Merger
Agreement.

        SECTION 1. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RECEIPT OF THE ESCROWED SHARES. The Escrow
Agent hereby acknowledges it has received the Escrowed Shares. The Escrowed
Shares shall be held by the Escrow Agent subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement.

        SECTION 2. ESCROWED SHARES.

        (a) Each Shareholder has delivered to the Escrow Agent the number of
Escrowed Shares set forth on SCHEDULE A hereto (for each Shareholder, his
"Proportionate Ownership"). The Escrowed Shares shall remain in escrow for one
year after April 3, 1998 (the "Expiration Date"), subject to claims for
indemnification made by IHI pursuant to the terms and conditions of Article VIII
of the Merger Agreement.

        (b) Any distributions of any kind made with respect to the Escrowed
Shares shall be distributed currently to the Shareholders. While the Escrowed
Shares are in escrow, the Shareholders shall retain all rights to vote the
Escrowed Shares, and shall retain and be able to exercise all other incidents of
ownership of the Escrowed Shares that are not inconsistent with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

        (c) Except as contemplated under this Agreement, no Escrowed Shares or
any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, sold, assigned or transferred,
including by operation of law, by a Shareholder, nor shall the Escrowed Shares
or any beneficial interest therein be subject to attachment or otherwise taken
or reached by any legal or equitable process in
<PAGE>
satisfaction of any debt or other liability of such Shareholder, before the
transfer to the Shareholder of the Escrowed Shares by the Escrow Agent. If a
Shareholder dies while the Escrowed Shares are subject to the terms of this
Agreement, such Shareholder's personal representative, heirs, successors and
assigns shall take any interest in the Escrowed Shares subject to the terms
hereof.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholders shall have the right to
sell all or any portion of their Escrowed Shares during the term of this
Agreement and substitute in escrow an amount in cash equal to the value of such
Escrowed Shares at April 3, 1998, based upon the closing of a share of IHI
common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on the date of the
closing of the Merger. If the Shareholders wish to sell all or a portion of the
Escrowed Shares, the Representative shall so notify IHI and IHI and the
Representative shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent as to the same, including
the number of Escrowed Shares to be released to the Representative for each
Shareholder.

        SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SHAREHOLDERS. Alan P. Bernard shall act
as the Representative of the Shareholders for all purposes under this Agreement,
and the Escrow Agent and IHI may rely on all decisions and actions taken by the
Representative on behalf of the other Shareholders.

        SECTION 4. TERMINATION AND RELEASE OF ESCROWED SHARES.

        (a) Within 5 days after the Expiration Date, IHI and the Representative
shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing regarding the distribution of
the Escrowed Shares to each of them, based upon the payment of all amounts
required to be paid from the Escrowed Shares pursuant to Article VIII of the
Merger Agreement, with the reservation of an amount equal to the full amount of
all pending claims made by IHI thereunder (including estimated Damages arising
from such claims if the exact amount of such Damages has not been determined).

        The Escrowed Shares applicable to each pending claim not so transferred
pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be retained by the Escrow Agent until such
pending claim is resolved and all of the Escrowed Shares transferrable to IHI as
a result thereof, if any, shall have been delivered to IHI, whereupon the entire
remaining Escrowed Shares applicable to such claim, if any, shall be transferred
to the Representative for transfer to the Shareholders in accordance with their
Proportionate Ownership (in each case according to the joint written instruction
of the Representative and IHI).

        SECTION 5. RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ESCROW AGENT.

        (a) The Escrow Agent is not a party to, and is not bound by, or charged
with notice of, any agreement out of which this escrow may arise. The Escrow
Agent shall not be bound by any modification, amendment or revision of this
Agreement unless the same shall be in writing and signed by all of the parties
hereto.

                                        2
<PAGE>
        (b) The Escrow Agent has agreed to act hereunder as a depository only,
according to the terms, provisions and conditions set forth herein, and has
executed this Agreement solely for the purpose of signifying the Escrow Agent's
acceptance of its appointment as an escrow agent pursuant to such terms,
provisions and conditions. The duties of the Escrow Agent shall be limited to
the safekeeping of the Escrowed Shares hereunder or any funds tendered in
substitution for the Escrowed Shares and disbursement of same according to the
provisions hereof. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as
are expressly set forth herein, and no duties or obligations shall be read into
or implied from this Agreement with respect to the Escrow Agent. Upon the Escrow
Agent's disbursement of the Escrowed Shares or any funds tendered in
substitution for the Escrowed Shares in accordance with the provisions hereof,
the Escrow Agent's duties and responsibilities with respect thereto shall cease
and the Escrow Agent shall thereafter be released of all liability hereunder in
connection therewith.

        (c) The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any writing, instrument or
signature which it in good faith believes to be genuine, may assume the validity
and accuracy of any statements or assertions contained in any writing or
instrument, and may assume that any person purporting to give any writing,
notice, request or instruction in connection with the provisions hereof has been
duly authorized to do so. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any manner for
the sufficiency or correctness as to form, manner of execution or validity of
any written request or instructions delivered to it, or as to the identity,
authority or rights of any person executing the same.

        (d) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or
for any act done or steps taken or omitted by it in good faith, or for any
mistake of fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in
connection herewith, except its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No
provision of this Agreement shall exculpate the Escrow Agent from liability for
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

        (e) The Escrow Agent shall have no duties except those which are
expressly set forth herein. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice of
a claim or demand unless received by it in writing.

        (f) The Escrow Agent may at any time resign hereunder by giving notice
of its resignation to the other parties hereto, at their respective addresses
set forth in this Agreement, at least ten 10 days prior to the date specified
for such resignation to take effect, and upon the effective date of such
resignation, the property or funds held by the Escrow Agent shall be tendered to
a successor escrow agent designated by the other parties to this Agreement,
whereupon the Escrow Agent's obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate. If
no such person shall have been designated by such date, all obligations of the
Escrow Agent hereunder shall, nevertheless, cease and terminate. The Escrow
Agent's sole responsibility thereafter shall be to keep safely the funds or
property then held by it and to deliver the same to a person designated by all
other parities executing this agreement or in accordance with a final order or
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

                                        3
<PAGE>
        (g) In the event of any disagreement between any of the parties to this
Agreement, or between them or either or any of them and any other person,
resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with the subject
matter of the escrow, or in the event that the Escrow Agent, in good faith, is
in doubt as to what action it should take hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, at
its option, refuse to comply with any claims or demands on it, or refuse to take
any other action hereunder, so long as such disagreement continues or such doubt
exists, and in any such event, the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in
any way or to any person for its failure or refusal to act, and the Escrow Agent
shall be entitled to continue so to refrain from acting until (i) the rights of
all parties shall have been fully and finally adjudicated by a court of
competent jurisdiction, or (ii) all differences shall have been settled and all
doubt resolved by agreement among all of the interested persons, and the Escrow
Agent shall have been notified thereof in writing signed by all such persons.
The rights of the Escrow Agent under this paragraph are cumulative of all other
rights it may have by law or otherwise.

        (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event
of any disagreement regarding an interpretation of this Agreement, or the rights
or obligation set forth herein, or the propriety of any action contemplated to
be taken by the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall have the right,
INTER ALIA to institute a bill or action of interpleader or for declaratory
relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights of the
parties and to deposit the subject matter of this Agreement into the registry of
the court.

        (i) The Escrow Agent may, at its sole discretion, consult with legal
counsel in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of
the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability
and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with the opinion and
instructions of such counsel. IHI and the Shareholders shall indemnify and hold
the Escrow Agent harmless from any and all loss, damage, cost or expense
(including attorneys' fees, expenses and court costs) reasonably incurred by the
Escrow Agent in connection with the Escrow Agent's execution of this Agreement
or the Escrow Agent's performance of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement, except for any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Escrow
Agent resulting from its failure to comply with its duties and obligations under
this Agreement. Payment of such costs, damages, expenses or fees shall be paid
equally by IHI and the Shareholders within a reasonable period of time not to
exceed 30 days after billing. In the event that payment is not received by
Escrow Agent within 30 days after billing, Escrow Agent's costs, damages,
expenses and fees may be deducted from escrow funds, if any. The obligations of
IHI under this paragraph shall be performable at the office of the Escrow Agent
in Dallas, Texas, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any
reason whatsoever.

        (j) The Escrow Agent is authorized to invest any otherwise uninvested
cash in any money market mutual fund which it makes available, including a money
market mutual fund advised by it or any of its affiliates, including a money
market fund in which interest is paid to the escrow account net of any bank fee.
It is understood that Escrow Agent, or one of its affiliates, may receive a fee
for its services as investment advisor and that it, or an affiliate, may 

                                        4

receive a"12b-1" fee for other services provided to the fund. It is agreed that
Escrow Agent or its affiliate may retain any such fees which either receive with
respect to the assets of the Account so invested and any conflict of interest
which might arise from such investment is waived.

        (k) For normal services, the Escrow Agent will be paid a set-up fee of
$1,500 and a minimum escrow fee of $1,500 per year or part thereof, paid in
advance. For services in addition to normal services, the Escrow Agent shall be
paid a reasonable fee based upon the time spent by Escrow Agent's officers,
employees or agents in performing such additional services, and reimbursement
shall be made to the Escrow Agent for all legal fees, expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred or made by the Escrow Agent in the performance of its
services. All such fees, expenses, out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements, and
advances shall be a joint and several liability of IHI and the Shareholders, but
shall be paid by IHI.

        (l) Each undersigned party shall receive a monthly statement of receipts
and disbursements, and a list of assets comprising the Escrow Account.
