                              SUBLEASE AGREEMENT


          THIS SUBLEASE is made as of the 11th day of May, 1999 by and between
MED-POINT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, successor by merger to
Medical Care International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Sublessor"), and
TRIAD HOSPITALS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("SubTenant"), under the following
circumstances:

          A.  Pursuant to a certain Lease Agreement, dated August 18, 1993, as
amended by First Amendment to Lease Agreement, dated January 20, 1995 and Second
Amendment to Lease Agreement, dated January, 1996, (collectively, the "Prime
Lease"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, Two Galleria Tower
Limited, a Texas limited partnership ("Prime Lessor") has leased to Sublessor
the premises described therein (the "Premises").

          B.  Sublessee desires to lease a portion of the premises leased under
the Prime Lease from Sublessor and Sublessor desires to lease the same to
Sublessee, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Sublease, and

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements of
the parties hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration,
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties, Sublessor and Sublessee
hereby agree as follows:

          1.  Subleased Premises. Sublessor hereby subleases to the Sublessee a
              ------------------
portion of the premises described in the Prime Lease (hereinafter the "Subleased
Premises") consisting of approximately 22,537 square feet of Net Rentable Area
located on Floor 19 of the building known as Two Galleria Tower.

          2.  Term. The term of this Sublease shall commence on May 11, 1999
              ----
and terminate on January 31, 2003 (the "Term").

          3.  Rent. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor rent for the Subleased
              ----
Premises equal to all Rent (as defined in the Prime Lease) payable by Sublessor
under the Prime Lease for the Subleased Premises. (See Amendment to Prime Lease
dated January, 1996 for 19th floor rent.)

          4.  Assignment/Further Subletting. Sublessee shall not, either
              -----------------------------
voluntarily or by operation of law, directly or indirectly sell, hypothecate,
assign or transfer this Sublease, in whole or in part, or further sublet all or
any part of the Subleased Premises, or permit the Subleased Premises to be
occupied by any other person, without the prior written consent of Sublessor and
Prime Lessor in each instance.

          Any sale, assignment, mortgage, transfer or subletting of this
Sublease, which is not in compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 4
shall be void and at the option of Sublessor, Sublessor may terminate this
Sublease. Each such assignment, transfer or further subletting of the Subleased
Premises, if consented to by Sublessor and Prime Lessor shall be subject and
subordinate to the Prime Lease and this Sublease and each such assignee or
sublessee shall be bound to perform, observe and comply with all of the
covenants, agreements and terms and conditions of this Sublease, all of which
shall be specifically assumed in writing by such assignee or sublessee. Upon the
consummation of any such transfer, assignment or sublease,
<PAGE>

Sublessee shall deliver to Sublessor promptly thereafter, a copy of the fully
executed assignment, sublease or other instrument of transfer. The consent of
Sublessor or Prime Lessor to any one assignment or sublease shall not relieve
Sublessee or its assignee or subtenants from obtaining the prior written consent
of Prime Lessor and Sublessor to any further assignment or subletting and shall
not release Sublessee from any liability or obligation hereunder, whether or not
then accrued.

          5.  Prime Lease. Sublessor represents that a true and complete copy
              -----------
of the Prime Lease, as amended, supplemented and modified, is attached hereto as
Exhibit A and Sublessee acknowledges receipt thereof. Sublessor represents and
warrants that the Prime Lease is in full force and effect and Sublessor has no
knowledge of any defaults under the Prime Lease. This Sublease is subject and
subordinate to the Prime Lease, all of the terms and conditions thereof and the
performance by Prime Lessor of all of its obligations thereunder, and to the
extent approved by Sublessee, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld,
all amendments and supplements hereafter entered into. All terms contained in
this Sublease shall have the same meanings and definitions ascribed to them in
the Prime Lease, unless any such term is expressly defined in this Sublease or
the context requires otherwise. Sublessee shall not commit or permit to be
committed on the Subleased Premises any act or omission which violates any term
or condition of the Prime Lease. In the event of the termination of the
Sublessor's interest as Sublessee under the Prime Lease for any reason other
than a default by Sublessor under the Prime Lease which occurs for any reason
other than a breach or a default by Sublessee under this Sublease, then this
Sublease shall terminate coincidentally therewith without any liability of
Sublessor to Sublessee. Sublessee shall only have such rights with respect to
the Leased Premises which Sublessor has pursuant to the Prime Lease. Except as
specifically exempted as provided below in this Paragraph 5, Sublessee shall
assume, perform and observe all of the obligations of Sublessor as Tenant under
the Prime Lease, to the extent that such terms and conditions are applicable to
the Subleased Premises, including without limitation thereto payment (or in the
case of payment in the first instance by Sublessor, reimbursement of Sublessor
for payment) of all rent which becomes due under the Prime Lease with respect to
the Subleased Premises only. Sublessee's performance and observance of all such
obligations shall be effected so that, whenever time periods are specified in
the Prime Lease for Sublessor's compliance as Tenant thereunder, Sublessee shall
have so complied on or prior to such date, unless otherwise specifically
provided herein. Except as otherwise provided in this Sublease, all of the terms
and conditions contained in the Prime Lease, except for the provisions of 2.3,
3.3, 5.4, 6.17, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4 are incorporated herein as terms and
conditions of this Sublease (with each reference in the Prime Lease to
"Landlord" being deemed to refer to Sublessor and Prime Lessor, with each
reference to "Tenant" therein being deemed to refer to Sublessee and with each
reference to the Premises being deemed to refer to the Subleased Premises); and
all such provisions along with all of the provisions specifically set forth in
this Sublease, shall be the complete terms and conditions of this Sublease.

          If Prime Lessor shall be in default of any of its obligations under
the Prime Lease, Sublessee shall be entitled to all rights and remedies against
Prime Lessor which Sublessor would otherwise be entitled to under the Prime
Lease as a result of such default; subject, however, to the following provisions
and procedures: Insofar as Prime Lessor is or may be

                                       2
<PAGE>

obligated to construct or make any alterations or improvements to the Subleased
Premises, to furnish any services to the Leased Premises, to repair or rebuild
the same, to insure the Subleased Premises, to perform any other act whatsoever
with respect to the Premises or the Subleased Premises or to perform any
obligation or satisfy any condition under the Prime Lease, Sublessee expressly
acknowledges that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this
Paragraph 5, Sublessor does not undertake the performance or observance of such
obligations, but is only obligated to use reasonable efforts to obtain Prime
Lessor's performance for Sublessee's benefit and without obligating itself to
institute legal action or incur any out of pocket expense. If after receipt of
written request from Sublessee, Sublessor fails or refuses to take appropriate
action for the enforcement of Sublessor's rights against Prime Lessor with
respect to the Leased Premises, Sublessee shall have the right to take such
action in Sublessee's own name and for that purpose and only to such extent,
Sublessor's rights under the Prime Lease shall be and hereby are conferred upon
and assigned to Sublessee. Sublessee shall be subrogated to such rights to the
extent that the same shall apply to the Subleased Premises. If any such action
against Prime Lessor in Sublessee's name shall be barred by reason of lack of
privity, nonassignability or otherwise, Sublessor shall permit Sublessee to take
such action in Sublessor's name; provided, however, that Sublessee shall
indemnify, defend and hold Sublessor harmless from and against all liability,
expense, loss or damage which Sublessor may incur or suffer by reason of any
such action, and that copies of all papers, and notices of all proceedings,
shall be given to Sublessor.

          6.  Defaults and Remedies. The following events of default and
              ---------------------
remedies shall  govern this Sublease:

              (a) Defaults. The following events shall constitute a material
                  --------
default under this Sublease:

                  (i)   The failure by Sublessee to make any payment of rent or
any other payment required to be made by Sublessee hereunder, as and when due,
where such failure shall continue for a period of 10 days after written notice
thereof from Sublessor or Prime Lessor.

                  (ii)  The failure by Sublessee to observe or perform any of
the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Sublease to be observed or
performed by Sublessee other than those described in Section (i) above, where
such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof
from Sublessor or Prime Lessor, provided that if the cure of such breach shall
reasonably require more than 30 days, then Sublessee shall not be in default if
Sublessee commenced such cure within said 30 day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

                  (iii) The making by Sublessee of any general assignment, or
general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against
Sublessee of a petition to have Sublessee adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for
reorganization or arrangement under any bankruptcy law (unless the petition
filed against Sublessee is dismissed within 90 days); the appointment of a
trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Sublessee's
assets located at the Subleased Premises or of Sublessee's interest in this
Sublease, where possession is not restored to Sublessee within 30 days; or the
attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of

                                       3
<PAGE>

substantially all of Sublessee's assets located at the Subleased Premises or of
Sublessee's interest in this Sublease, where such seizure is not discharged
within 60 days.

               (b) Remedies. In the event of any such material default,
                   --------
Sublessor may at any time thereafter, and without limiting Sublessee in the
exercise of any right or remedy which Sublessor may have by reason of such
default:

                   (i)   Terminate Sublessee's right to possession of the
Subleased Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Sublease shall
terminate and Sublessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Subleased
Premises to Sublessor. In which event Sublessor shall be entitled to recover
from Sublessee all damages incurred by Sublessor by reason of Sublessee's
default including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the
Subleased Premises; expenses of reletting, including renovation and alteration
of the Subleased Premises, reasonable attorney's fees, and any real estate
commissions actually paid; the worth at the time of award of the amount by which
the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds
the amount of such rental loss for the same period that Sublessee proves could
be reasonably avoided; and that portion of any leasing commission paid by
Sublessor applicable to the unexpired term of this Sublease. Unpaid installments
of Rent or other sums shall bear interest from the date due at the "prime rate"
of interest as announced from time to time in the Wall Street Journal plus 5%,
but in no event more than the maximum interest allowed by law (which rate is
hereinafter referred to as the "Interest Rate"). If Sublessee abandons the
Subleased Premises, Sublessor shall have the option of retaking possession of
the Subleased Premises and recovering from Sublessee the amount as specified in
this paragraph.

                   (ii)  Maintain Sublessee's right to possession in which case
this Sublease shall continue in effect whether or not Sublessee shall have
abandoned the Subleased Premises. In such event, Sublessor shall be entitled to
enforce all of Sublessor's rights and remedies under this Sublease, including
the right to recover the rent as it becomes due hereunder.

                   (iii) Sublessor may remove any or all items of Sublessee's
property from the Subleased Premises and dispose of them in any commercially
reasonable manner, and Sublessee shall pay upon demand to Sublessor the actual
expense of such removal and disposition together with interest at the Interest
Rate, but in no event more than the maximum interest allowed by law, from the
date of payment by Sublessor until repayment by Sublessee.

                   (iv)  Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to
Sublessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the State of Texas.
