THIS AGREEMENT made as of the 30th day of September, 2002, ("Agreement") by and

between Tomco II, LLC, a Tennessee Limited Liability Company ("Owner"), and HCA

Management Services, L.P., a Delaware Partnership ("Operator").



1.       Rental of the Aircraft



         Owner hereby agrees to rent to Operator from time-to-time a certain

         aircraft, as identified on Exhibit A, (the "Aircraft"), which is owned

         and registered at the FAA aircraft registry in the name of Owner. The

         parties understand that the Aircraft will be available to Operator for

         its operation and use hereunder for a series of rental periods that are

         estimated to not exceed 100 hours in the aggregate during any annual

         period during the Term. Owner retains the right to rent the aircraft to

         any other operator. The Aircraft is being rented by Operator for the

         purpose of transporting Operator's directors, officers, employees and

         guests or the directors, officers, employees and guests of Operator's

         subsidiaries in furtherance of its primary, non-transportation

         business.



2.       Term



         The term of this Agreement ("Term") shall commence on the date hereof,

         and shall continue for a period of ten (10) years, unless either party

         terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 17 of this Agreement.



3.       Delivery of Aircraft



         The Aircraft shall be delivered to Operator at the location indicated

         on Exhibit A, or such other location upon which the parties may agree.

         Each date on which Owner delivers possession of the Aircraft to

         Operator is referred to in this Agreement as a "Delivery Date." Each

         rental period shall commence with delivery and conclude with return of

         the Aircraft to Owner. If requested by Owner, Operator shall execute a

         Delivery and Acceptance Certificate in the form attached to this

         Agreement each time Operator accepts delivery of the Aircraft.



4.       Rental Period



         The "Rental Period" shall consist of time commencing with delivery of

         possession of the Aircraft to Operator until Operator returns the

         Aircraft to Owner. The Aircraft shall be available to Operator at all

         times other than when it is (a) previously scheduled by Owner or any

         other operator or (b) otherwise unavailable, such as due to

         maintenance.

5.       Rent



         Operator shall pay Owner the base rent as indicated on Exhibit A for

         use of the Aircraft. The sum of the base rent and all other charges,

         payments, and indemnities due to Owner by Operator hereunder are

         hereinafter referred to as "Aggregate Rentals." After each use of the

         Aircraft by Operator, Owner shall invoice Operator for rent based on

         the number of hours flown by Operator. Operator shall pay the invoiced

         amount within thirty (30) days after the invoice is sent. The hourly

         charges shall be calculated based on the time from takeoff to landing

         at destination of each leg of the trip as reflected on the Hobbs Meter.

         Operator shall maintain accurate Aircraft and engine logs for the

         Aircraft and make them available for examination by Owner. The base

         rate on Exhibit A will be agreed to annually by the parties on the

         anniversary of the execution date of this agreement. If no agreement is

         reached, the rate used in the previous year will continue until such

         time the parties agree to a change in that rate.



6.       Certain Covenants of Operator. Operator agrees as follows:



         a.       Furnishing of Information



                  Operator shall furnish from time to time to Owner such

                  information regarding Operator's use, operation, or

                  maintenance of the Aircraft as Owner may reasonably request.



         b.       Lawful Use



                  The Aircraft shall not be used, operated or stored by Operator

                  in violation of any law or any rule, regulation, or order of

                  any government or governmental authority having jurisdiction

                  (domestic or foreign), or in violation of any airworthiness

                  certificate, license, or registration relating to the Aircraft

                  or its use, or in violation or breach of any representation or

                  warranty made with respect to obtaining insurance on the

                  Aircraft or any term or condition of such insurance policy.

                  Aircraft operations shall be limited to operations allowed

                  under Part 91 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.



         c.       Aircraft Location



                  The Aircraft shall not be operated or located by Operator in

                  (i) any area excluded from coverage by the terms of insurance

                  covering the Aircraft, or (ii) any recognized or threatened

                  area of hostilities, unless fully covered to Owner's

                  satisfaction by war risk insurance.



         d.       Base of the Aircraft



                  The Aircraft shall be principally based as indicated on
