ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
                 INDUSTRY SEGMENTS AND PRODUCT CLASSIFICATIONS
 
     TRW is an international company that provides advanced technology products
and services. The principal businesses of TRW and its subsidiaries are the
design, manufacture and sale of products and the performance of systems
engineering, research and technical services for industry and the United States
Government in two industry segments: Automotive and Space, Defense & Information
Systems. TRW's principal products and services include automotive systems and
components; spacecraft; software and systems engineering support services; and
electronic systems, equipment and services. In 1996, TRW completed the sale of
substantially all the businesses comprising its Information Systems & Services
segment. TRW was incorporated under the laws of Ohio on June 17, 1916. As used
herein the terms "TRW" and the "Company" refer to TRW Inc. or to TRW Inc. and
its subsidiaries or to a subsidiary of TRW Inc.
 
     On December 29, 1997, the Company acquired BDM International, Inc. ("BDM")
for cash of $880 million plus assumed net debt of $85 million. BDM is a
multinational information technology company based in McLean, Virginia that
provides systems integration and computer services to public sector and
commercial customers. The results of operations have been included in the
financial information set forth herein from the date of acquisition. The
acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method; accordingly, the purchase
price has been allocated to the net assets acquired based on their estimated
fair values and to costs for certain restructuring actions to be completed in
1998. A $548 million earnings charge related to purchased in-process research
and development with no tax benefit was recognized at the date of acquisition.
BDM had total assets of approximately $660 million as of December 31, 1997 and
revenues of approximately $1 billion for the year ended December 31, 1997. BDM
employs approximately 9,000 people in 110 locations worldwide. The acquisition
complements the Company's existing systems integration and information
technology business. The acquisition of BDM was effectuated through a cash
tender offer for all the outstanding shares of common stock of BDM followed by a
merger in which BDM became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. For
reporting purposes, BDM is included in the re-named Space, Defense & Information
Systems segment.
 
     On December 17, 1997, the Company agreed to acquire 1,500,000 shares, or
approximately seven percent of the outstanding shares, of ICO Global
Communications (Holdings) Limited ("ICO") for approximately $50 million. The
Company and ICO also cross licensed certain patent rights related to their
proposed global telecommunications systems and dismissed legal proceedings
related to the patents. ICO paid TRW $25 million in January 1998 and will pay an
additional $25 million by mid-1999. The Company has discontinued efforts related
to its Odyssey project, a satellite-based personal communications system.
 
     In February 1997, TRW purchased from Magna International Inc. ("Magna") an
80 percent equity interest in MST Automotive GmbH Automobil-Sicherheitstechnik
("MST"), a European supplier of air bag modules, steering wheels and related
automotive components, and Temic Bayern-Chemie Airbag GmbH ("TBCA"), a European
supplier of air bag inflators and propellants and related automotive components,
for a cost of approximately U.S. $465 million. The Company and Magna also formed
a strategic alliance for the design, development and production of automotive
products for the global market. In January 1998, the Company acquired the
remaining 20 percent equity interest in MST and TBCA.
 
AUTOMOTIVE
 
     TRW's Automotive segment designs, manufactures and sells a broad range of
steering, suspension, engine, safety, engineered fastening, electronic,
electromechanical and other components and systems for passenger cars and
commercial vehicles, including trucks, buses, farm machinery and off-highway
vehicles. These products include occupant safety systems such as seat belt
systems and inflatable restraint systems, sensors, steering wheels, manual and
power steering gears, engine valves and valve train components, suspension
components, electronic monitoring and control systems, electromechanical
assemblies, fasteners, stud welding systems and other components.
 
     The products included in this industry segment are sold primarily to
automotive original equipment manufacturers. In addition, TRW sells its
automotive components for use as aftermarket parts to automotive original
equipment manufacturers and others for resale through their own independent
distribution networks.
 
SPACE, DEFENSE & INFORMATION SYSTEMS
 
     TRW's Space, Defense & Information Systems segment includes spacecraft,
software and systems engineering and integration support services and electronic
systems, equipment and services.
 
                                        1
<PAGE>   5
 
     The Company's spacecraft activities include the design and manufacture of
spacecraft equipment, propulsion subsystems, electro-optical and instrument
systems, spacecraft payloads, high-energy lasers and laser technology and other
high-reliability components. TRW's software and systems engineering and
integration support services are in the fields of command and control, security
for defense and nondefense applications, modeling and simulation, training,
telecommunications, counterterrorism, undersea surveillance, antisubmarine
warfare and other high-technology space and defense mission support systems,
management of radioactive waste, automated fingerprint matching, upgrading of
the nation's air traffic control program and other civilian applications. The
Company's electronic systems, equipment and services include the design and
manufacture of communications systems, avionics systems, commercial
telecommunications and other electronic technologies for space, defense and
selected commercial applications. The Company's information technology systems,
products and services are in the areas of defense, health and human safety and
welfare, integrated supply chain, warehousing, logistics, criminal justice, tax
systems modernization and financial reporting applications for government and
commercial customers.
 
     Products and services in this industry segment are sold and distributed
principally to the United States Government, agencies of the United States
Government, state, local and foreign governments and government agencies and
commercial customers. TRW's spacecraft business involves the sale to the United
States Government of subsystems and components for space propulsion and unmanned
spacecraft for defense, scientific research and communications purposes. TRW is
currently participating in a number of spacecraft programs. Software and systems
engineering and integration support services are sold primarily to the United
States Government defense agencies and to Federal civilian and other state and
local governmental agencies. These services include a wide variety of computer
software systems and analytical services for space and defense, air traffic
control, and advanced communication and data retrieval applications. Sales to
the United States Government of electronic systems, equipment and services
consist of systems and subsystems for defense and space applications, including
communications, command and control, guidance, navigation, electric power,
sensing and electronic display equipment. Information technology systems,
products and services are sold primarily to the United States Government,
agencies of the United States Government, state, local and foreign governments
and government agencies and commercial customers. While classified projects are
not discussed herein, the operating results relating to classified projects are
included in the Company's consolidated financial statements, and the business
risks associated with such projects do not differ materially from those of other
projects for the United States Government.
 
     TRW also performs diverse testing and general research projects in many of
the technical disciplines related to its space, defense and information systems
products and services under both private and United States Government contracts,
including several advanced defense system projects.
 
                          RESULTS BY INDUSTRY SEGMENT
 
     Reference is made to the information relating to the Company's industry
segments, including sales, operating profit and identifiable assets attributable
to each segment for each of the years 1995 through 1997, presented under the
note entitled "Industry Segments" in the Notes to Financial Statements on pages
52 and 53 of the TRW 1997 Annual Report. Such information is incorporated herein
by reference.
 
                        FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS
 
     TRW manufactures products or has facilities in 30 countries throughout the
world. TRW's operations outside the United States are in Argentina, Australia,
Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, the Czech Republic, Egypt, France,
Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Oman, Poland,
Portugal, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan,
Thailand, Turkey and the United Kingdom. TRW also exports products manufactured
by it in the United States. Such export sales accounted for 7% of total sales
during 1997, 8% of total sales during 1996 and 9% of total sales during 1995, or
$732 million, $764 million and $813 million, respectively.
 
     TRW's foreign operations are subject to the usual risks that may affect
such operations. These include, among other things, customary exchange controls
and currency restrictions, currency fluctuations, changes in local economic
conditions, exposure to possible expropriation or other government actions,
unsettled political conditions and foreign government-sponsored boycotts of the
Company's products or services for noncommercial reasons. Most of the
identifiable assets associated with TRW's foreign operations are located in
countries where the Company believes such risks to be minimal. Recent economic
conditions in the Asia Pacific region and South America have had a negative
impact on the Company's operations. Uncertainty regarding future economic
conditions in these regions could result in continued negative impacts in 1998
that are not expected to be material.
 
     Reference is made to the information relating to the dollar amounts of
sales, operating profit and identifiable assets by geographic area for each of
the years 1995 through 1997 presented under the note entitled "Geographic
Segments" in

information is incorporated herein by reference.
 
                                    GENERAL
 
COMPETITION
 
     TRW encounters intense competition in substantially all segments of its
business. The Company's competitive position varies for its different products
and services. However, TRW believes that it is a significant supplier of many of
the products it manufactures and of many of the services it provides.
 
     In the Automotive segment, competitors include independent suppliers of
parts and components as well as the Company's original equipment customers, many
of whom are integrated manufacturers who produce or could produce substantial
portions of their requirements for parts and components internally. Depending on
the particular product, the number of the Company's competitors may vary
significantly and many of the products have high capital requirements and
require high engineering content. In the Automotive segment, the principal
methods of competition are price, engineering excellence, product quality,
customer service, delivery time and proprietary position.
 
     TRW competes for contracts covering a variety of United States Government
projects and programs, principally in the Space, Defense & Information Systems
segment of its business. Such competition is based primarily on technical
ability, product quality and price. TRW's competitors for United States
Government contracts typically are large, technically-competent firms with
substantial assets, some of which have become considerably larger.
 
CUSTOMERS
 
     Sales, directly and indirectly, to the United States Government, including
the Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics & Space Administration and
other agencies, constituted 33% of TRW's total sales for 1997, 32% for 1996 and
30% for 1995, or $3,523 million, $3,121 million and $2,890 million,
respectively. Sales, directly and indirectly, to the United States Government,
including the Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics & Space
Administration and other agencies, represented 93% of the sales of the Space,
Defense & Information Systems segment in 1997, 93% in 1996 and 93% in 1995, or
$3,523 million, $3,120 million and $2,887 million, respectively.
 
     Companies engaged in United States Government contracting are subject to
certain unique business risks, including dependence on Congressional
appropriations and administrative allotment of funds, changes in Government
policies that may reflect military and political developments, time required for
design and development, significant changes in contract scheduling, complexity
of designs and the rapidity with which they become obsolete, necessity of design
improvements, difficulty in forecasting costs and schedules when bidding on
developmental and highly sophisticated technical work and other factors
characteristic of the industry.
 
     United States Government contracting laws also provide that the Government
is to do business only with responsible contractors. In this regard, the United
States Department of Defense and other federal agencies have the authority,
under certain circumstances, to suspend or debar a contractor or organizational
parts of a contractor from further Government contracting for a certain period
"to protect the Government's interest." Such action may be taken for, among
other reasons, commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with a
United States Government contract. A suspension may also be imposed if a
contractor is indicted for such matters. In the event of any suspension or
debarment, the Company's existing contracts would continue unless terminated or
canceled by the United States Government under applicable contract provisions.
 
     Other than the United States Government, TRW's largest customers
(determined by including sales to their affiliates throughout the world but
excluding sales to such customers or their affiliates that ultimately result in
sales to the United States Government) are Ford Motor Company, Volkswagen AG and
Chrysler Corporation. Such sales by TRW's Automotive segment to Ford, Volkswagen
and Chrysler, and their respective subsidiaries, during 1997 accounted for 21%,
12% and 9%, respectively, of sales of the Automotive segment, compared to 23%,
10% and 10%, respectively, during 1996 and 23%, 10% and 9%, respectively, during
1995. Such sales by TRW's Automotive segment to Ford and its subsidiaries
accounted for 14% of TRW's total sales for 1997, 15% for 1996 and 15% for 1995,
or $1,469 million, $1,470 million and $1,474 million, respectively.
 
BACKLOG
 
     The backlog of orders for TRW's domestic operations, without options, at
December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 is estimated to have been approximately
$6,025 million and $5,285 million, respectively, of which it is estimated that,
directly or indirectly, United States Government business accounted for
approximately $5,469 million and
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   7
 
$4,631 million, respectively. Reported backlog at the end of 1997 does not
include approximately $3.6 billion of negotiated and priced, but unexercised,
options for defense and non-defense programs. Unexercised options at the end of
1996 were valued at $2.9 billion. The exercise of options is at the discretion
of the customer, and as in the case of Government contracts generally, dependent
on future government funding. Of the total domestic backlog at December 31, 1997
and at December 31, 1996, 96% and 95%, respectively, were attributable to the
Space, Defense & Information Systems segment, and substantially all of the
backlog attributable to United States Government business related to that
segment.
 
     The determination of TRW's backlog involves substantial estimating,
particularly with respect to customer requirements contracts and long-term
contracts of a cost-reimbursement or incentive nature. A substantial portion of
the variations in TRW's estimated backlog in recent years is attributable to the
timing of the award and performance of United States Government and certain
other contracts. Subject to various qualifications, including those set forth
herein, and assuming no terminations, cancellations or changes and completion of
orders in the normal course, TRW has estimated that approximately 54% of the
December 31, 1997 backlog will be delivered in 1998, 29% in 1999 and 17%
thereafter.
 
     United States Government contracts and related customer orders generally
are subject to termination in whole or in part at the convenience of the
Government whenever the Government believes that such termination would be in
its best interest. Multi-year Government contracts and related orders are
subject to cancellation if funds for contract performance for any subsequent
contract year become unavailable. If any of its Government contracts were to be
terminated or canceled under these circumstances, TRW generally would be
entitled to receive payment for work completed and allowable termination or
cancellation costs. Whether the occurrence of any such termination or
cancellation would have an adverse effect on TRW would depend upon the
particular contract and the circumstances of the termination or cancellation.
 
     Backlog data and comparisons thereof as of different dates may not be
reliable indicators of either future sales or the ratio of future direct and
indirect United States Government sales to other sales.
 
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
 
     TRW owns significant intellectual property, including a large number of
patents, copyrights and trade secrets, and is involved in numerous licensing
arrangements. Although TRW's intellectual property plays an important role in
maintaining TRW's competitive position in a number of the markets that it
serves, no single patent, copyright, trade secret or license, or group of
related patents, copyrights, trade secrets or licenses, is, in the opinion of
management, of such value to TRW that the business of TRW or of any industry
segment of TRW would be materially affected by the expiration or termination
thereof. TRW's general policy is to apply for patents on an ongoing basis in the
United States and appropriate other countries on its significant patentable
developments.
 
     TRW also views its name and mark as significant to its business as a whole.
In addition, TRW owns a number of other trade names and marks applicable to
certain of its businesses and products that it views as important to such
businesses and products.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
     Research and development costs totaled $2,136 million, $1,997 million and
$1,891 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, of which customer-funded
research and development was $1,501 million in 1997, $1,425 million in 1996 and
$1,360 million in 1995. Company-funded research and development costs, which
included research and development for commercial products, independent research
and development and bid and proposal work related to government products and
services, totaled $461 million in 1997, $412 million in 1996 and $392 million in
1995. A portion of the cost incurred for independent research and development
and bid and proposal work is recoverable through overhead charged to government
contracts. Company-funded product development costs, including engineering and
field support for new customer requirements, were $174 million in 1997, $160
million in 1996 and $139 million in 1995. The 1997 amounts exclude the $548
million charge for purchased in-process research and development.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
     At December 31, 1997, TRW had approximately 79,700 employees, of whom
approximately 40,100 were employed in the United States.
 
RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES
 
     Materials used by TRW include or contain steel, stainless steel, pig iron,
ferro-chrome, aluminum, brass, copper, tin, platinum, special alloys, sodium
azide, glass, ceramics, plastic powders and laminations, carbon and plastic
materials,
                                        4

synthetic rubber, paper, and gold, silver, nickel, zinc and copper plating
materials. TRW also purchases from suppliers various types of equipment and
component parts that may include such materials. TRW's operations are dependent
upon the ability of its suppliers of materials, equipment and component parts to
meet performance and quality specifications and delivery schedules. In some
cases, there is only a limited number of suppliers for a material or product due
to the specialized nature of the item. Shortages of certain raw materials,
equipment and component parts have existed in the past and may exist again in
the future. TRW has taken a number of steps to protect against and to minimize
the effect of such shortages. However, any future inability of TRW to obtain raw
materials, equipment or component parts could have a material adverse effect on
the Company. TRW's operations also are dependent on adequate supplies of energy.
TRW has continued its programs to conserve energy used in its operations and has
made available alternative sources of energy.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
 
     Federal, state and local requirements relating to the discharge of
materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the
environment, have had and will continue to have an effect on TRW and its
operations. The Company has made and continues to make expenditures for projects
relating to the environment, including pollution control devices for new and
existing facilities. The Company is conducting a number of environmental
investigations and remedial actions at current and former Company locations to
comply with various federal, state and local laws and, along with other
companies, has been named a potentially responsible party for certain waste
management sites. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and
some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company. A reserve
estimate reflecting cost ranges is established using standard engineering cost
estimating techniques for each matter for which sufficient information is
available. In the determination of cost ranges, consideration is given to the
professional judgment of the Company's environmental engineers in consultation
with outside environmental specialists, when necessary. At multi-party sites,
the reserve estimate also reflects the expected allocation of total project
costs among the various potentially responsible parties. At December 31, 1997,
the Company had reserves for environmental matters of $71 million. The Company
aggressively pursues reimbursement for environmental costs from its insurance
carriers. Insurance recoveries are recorded as a reduction of environmental
costs when fixed and determinable. The Company does not believe that compliance
with environmental protection laws and regulations will have a material effect
upon its capital expenditures or competitive position, and TRW's capital
expenditures for environmental control facilities during 1998 and 1999 are not
expected to be material to the Company. The Company believes that any liability
that may result from the resolution of environmental matters for which
sufficient information is available to support cost estimates will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's earnings. However, the Company cannot
predict the effect on the Company's earnings of expenditures for aspects of
certain matters for which there is insufficient information. See also "Legal
Proceedings" below. In addition, the Company cannot predict the effect on the
Company's earnings of compliance with environmental laws and regulations with
respect to currently unknown environmental matters or the possible effect on the
Company's earnings of compliance with environmental requirements imposed in the
future.

     On an industry segment basis, capital expenditures during 1997 and 1996
were as follows: Automotive, $390 million and $342 million, respectively; and
Space, Defense & Information Systems, $156 million and $157 million,
respectively. Of total capital expenditures, 56% in 1997 and 59% in 1996 were
invested in the United States.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES
 
     TRW's operations include numerous manufacturing, research and development
and warehousing facilities. TRW owns or leases principal facilities located in
27 states plus the District of Columbia in the United States and in 29 other
countries. Approximately 43% of the principal domestic facilities are used by
the Automotive segment and 57% are used by the Space, Defense & Information
Systems segment. A substantial majority of the foreign facilities is used by the
Automotive segment.
 
     The Company also owns or leases certain smaller research and development
properties and administrative, marketing, sales and office facilities throughout
the United States and in various parts of the world. In addition, TRW operates
facilities on property owned directly or indirectly by the United States
Government. The Company owns its world headquarters in Lyndhurst, Ohio and the
headquarters for its Space & Electronics Group in Redondo Beach, California.
 
     In the opinion of management, the Company's facilities are generally well
maintained and are suitable and adequate for their intended use.
 
     Reference is made to the information concerning long-term rental
obligations under operating leases presented under the note entitled "Lease
Commitments" in the Notes to Financial Statements on page 48 of the TRW 1997
Annual Report. Such information is incorporated herein by reference.
 
ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     During 1996, the Company was advised by the Department of Justice ("DOJ")
that it had been named as a defendant in two lawsuits brought by Richard D.
Bagley, a former employee of the Company's former Space & Technology Group, and
originally filed under seal in 1994 and 1995, respectively, in the United States
District Court for the Central District of California under the QUI TAM
provisions of the civil False Claims Act. The Act permits an individual to bring
suit in the name of the United States and share in any recovery. The allegations
in the lawsuits relate to the classification of costs incurred by the Company
that were charged to certain of its federal contracts. Under the law, the
government must investigate the allegations and determine whether it wishes to
intervene and take responsibility for the lawsuits. On February 13, 1998, the
DOJ intervened in the litigation. On February 19, 1998 and March 4, 1998, Bagley
filed amended complaints in the Central District of California that realleged
certain of the claims included in the 1994 and 1995 lawsuits and omitted the
remainder. The amended complaints allege that the United States has incurred
substantial damages and that the Company should be ordered to cease and desist
from violations of the civil False Claims Act and is liable for treble damages,
penalties, costs, including attorneys' fees, and such other relief as deemed
proper by the court. On March 17, 1998, the DOJ filed its complaint against the
Company upon intervention in the 1994 lawsuit, which set forth a limited number
of the allegations in the 1994 lawsuit and other allegations not in the 1994
lawsuit. The DOJ elected not to pursue the other claims in the 1994 lawsuit or
the claims in the 1995 lawsuit. The DOJ's complaint alleges that the Company is
liable for treble damages, penalties, interest, cost and "other proper relief."
The Company cannot presently predict the outcome of these matters, although
management believes that the Company has meritorious defenses.
 
     On December 15, 1987, the Commissioner of the Indiana Department of
Environmental Management issued an Order to TRW and several other respondents
relating to alleged contamination of the public water supply in Shelbyville,
Indiana by, among other sources, two closed facilities that were formerly
operated by TRW's Connectors Division. The Order requires the respondents to
fund the relocation of the main well field for Shelbyville to a location that
can provide a safe source of potable water and to perform a remedial
investigation of the source and extent of contamination within a one-mile radius
of the well field. The Order also requires the respondents to pay civil
penalties of $25,000 per day for violations of law which allegedly occurred
prior to issuance of the Order. TRW has filed a petition for review of the
Order. The Order is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
financial position.
 
     TRW Vehicle Safety Systems Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
has reported to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality ("ADEQ")
potential violations of the Arizona hazardous waste law at its Queen Creek,
Arizona facility for the possible failure to properly label and dispose of
wastewater that might be classified as hazardous waste. ADEQ is conducting an
investigation into these potential violations and the Company is cooperating
with the investigation. If ADEQ initiates proceedings against the Company with
respect to such matters, the Company could be liable for penalties and fines and
other relief. The Company has been apprised by state and federal officials that
there are ongoing civil and criminal investigations with respect to these
potential violations. Management is currently evaluating this matter and is
unable to make a meaningful estimate of the amount or range of possible
liability, if any, at this time, although management believes that the Company
would have meritorious defenses.

     On July 21, 1997, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA")
issued a notice of violation to the Company under the Clean Air Act with respect
to air emissions at the former Izumi Industries, Corporation, Inc. facility in
Yaphank, New York. TRW acquired this facility in November 1996. The EPA informed
TRW that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("DEC")
would be the lead agency in this action. On August 15, 1997, the DEC commenced
an administrative enforcement action against the Company under the New York
Environmental Conservation Law with respect to such emissions. On September 11,
1997, the Company agreed to an Order of Consent with the DEC, pursuant to which
the Company has paid a $300,000 civil penalty to the DEC and has initiated
certain specified actions to bring the facility into compliance with applicable
regulatory standards relating to air emissions. These matters are not expected
to have a material effect on TRW's financial position. TRW is seeking
reimbursement from Izumi Industries, Corporation, Inc. for the costs arising
from such Order of Consent.

     In 1997, earnings (loss) from continuing operations include a $548 million,
$4.43 per share, one-time noncash charge related to in-process research and
development associated with the acquisition of BDM.
 
     In 1996, the Company recorded charges of $202 million after tax, $1.52 per
share, primarily for actions taken, in part, to enhance the Company's
competitiveness. Also during 1996, the Company applied the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,"
resulting in the recognition of $50 million after tax, $0.38 per share, of
impairment losses which were primarily a result of technological changes and the
decision to close certain facilities in the Automotive segment.
 
     At December 31, 1997 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." All share and per share amounts
including those of prior years have been restated to comply with the new
provisions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
Shareholders and Directors
TRW Inc.
 
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of TRW Inc. and
subsidiaries listed in Item 14(a)(1) of the annual report on Form 10-K of TRW
Inc. for the year ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of TRW Inc. and
subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

U.S. NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


TERMS AND CONDITIONS



1.  PURCHASE RIGHTS

This option cannot be exercised before the first anniversary of the date of
grant. After that you will be entitled to purchase up to 33-1/3% of the shares
covered by this option, rounded down to the nearest whole share for each of the
first two years, for each full year of your continuous employment with TRW Inc.
("TRW") after the date of grant. The purchase rights accumulate as shown in the
following table.

             1                            33-1/3%
             2                            66-2/3%
             3                              100%
</TABLE>

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the termination of your
employment due to your death or to your disability for a period of more than
twelve months (as determined in accordance with the TRW Long-Term Disability
Plan), or in the event of a change in control of TRW, this option will
immediately become exercisable in respect of all of the shares covered by this
grant. For purposes of this agreement, a change in control is defined in
resolutions adopted by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the
Directors of TRW on July 26, 1989, which, in summary, provide that a change in
control is a change occurring (a) by virtue of TRW's merger, consolidation or
reorganization into or with, or transfer of assets to, another corporation or
(b) by virtue of a change in the majority of the Directors of TRW during any
two-year period unless the election of each new Director was approved by a
two-thirds vote of the Directors in office at the beginning of such period or
(c) through the acquisition of shares representing 20% or more of the voting
power of TRW or (d) through any other change in control reported in any filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided, however, that no change
in control is deemed to have occurred by the acquisition of shares, or any
report of such acquisition, by TRW, a subsidiary of TRW or a TRW-sponsored
employee benefit plan. The language of the resolutions controls over this
summary language.

2.  EXERCISE IN WHOLE OR PART

To the extent this option has become exercisable, you may purchase on any date
or dates all or any part of the shares which you are then entitled to purchase.
However, no fractional shares may be purchased.

3.  TERM OF OPTION

To the extent this option has become exercisable in accordance with paragraph 1
above, it may be exercised by you at any time during the 10-year period
beginning on the date of grant. To the extent this option remains unexercised at
the end of the 10-year period, your unexercised purchase rights will terminate.
To the extent unexercised, this stock option will terminate before the end of
such 10-year period in the following cases:

(a) If your employment with TRW terminates before you reach age 55, your
unexercised purchase rights will terminate three months after the date your
employment terminates.

(b) If the Directors of TRW shall find that you intentionally committed an act
materially inimical to the interests of TRW or a subsidiary, your unexercised
purchase rights will terminate as of the time you committed such act, as
determined by the Directors.

If your employment is terminated by your death or by your disability for a
period of more than twelve months (as determined in accordance with the TRW
Long-Term Disability Plan), your purchase rights will not be subject to
termination under clause (a) above and will continue for the entire 10-year
period. In the event of a change in control of TRW (as defined herein), your
purchase rights will not under any circumstances be subject to termination
before the end of the 10-year period beginning on the date of grant. Nothing
contained in this option shall extend this option beyond a 10-year period
beginning on the date of grant or shall limit whatever right TRW or a subsidiary
might otherwise have to terminate your employment at any time.

4.  PAYMENT OF OPTION PRICE

The option price shall be payable at the time of exercise. The option price
shall be paid at the Office of Secretary at TRW's corporate headquarters or at
any other place designated by the Secretary. The option price may be paid in
cash, by delivery of full shares of TRW Common, by a cashless exercise, or in
any combination of the foregoing, in accordance with such procedures and subject
to such further conditions as the Secretary of TRW may establish from time to
time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee
of TRW at any time may suspend or terminate your right to pay any or all of the
option price in shares of TRW.

Cash payments shall be made in United States dollars.

Shares delivered in payment of the option price shall be valued at their fair
market value on the date of exercise. For purposes of this option, "fair market
value" is the average of the high and low sales prices of a share of TRW Common
on the date of exercise on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions
Listing as reported in the Midwest edition of The Wall Street Journal (or if
there are no sales on such date, then the closing sale price on such Listing on
the nearest date before the date of exercise) or such other method or procedure
for determining fair market value as the Compensation and Stock Option Committee
of TRW in its sole discretion may determine. For purposes of this option, the
"date of exercise" is the date on which written notice, accompanied by the
option price, is received by the Secretary 


<PAGE>   2



of TRW or his designee that you have elected to exercise all or part of this
option.

5.  TAXES

Upon any exercise of this option, TRW may withhold delivery of certificates for
the purchased shares until you make arrangements satisfactory to TRW to pay any
withholding, transfer or other taxes due as a result of such exercise. You may
elect, in accordance with applicable regulations of the Compensation and Stock
Option Committee of TRW, to pay a portion or all of the amount of required
withholding taxes in cash, through a cashless exercise or in shares of TRW
Common, either by delivering to TRW previously held shares of TRW Common or by
having shares of TRW Common withheld from the shares purchased hereunder.

6.  SECURITIES LAWS

This option shall not be exercisable if such exercise would violate any federal
or state securities law. TRW will use its best efforts to make such filings and
initiate such proceedings as may be necessary to prevent such violations unless
the Directors of TRW determine, in their sole discretion, that such filings or
proceedings would result in undue expense or hardship for TRW. TRW may place
appropriate legends on the certificates for the optioned shares, give
stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agents or take any other action to
achieve compliance with those laws in connection with any exercise of this
option or your resale of the optioned shares.

7.  TRANSFERABILITY

This option is not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable during your lifetime only by you or your
guardian or legal representative.

8.  LEAVES OF ABSENCE

If you take a leave of absence for illness, military or governmental service or
other reasons, and such leave has been specifically approved by the Chairman of
the Board or the President of TRW for purposes of this option, then such leave
will not be treated as an interruption of your employment.


9.  ADJUSTMENTS

The Compensation and Stock Option Committee of TRW may make such adjustments in
the option price and in the number or kind of shares of TRW Common or other
securities covered by this option as it in its sole discretion may determine are
equitably required to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights that would
otherwise result from any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of TRW, merger,
consolidation, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other
corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing.

10.  CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this option, employment with a subsidiary will be treated as
equivalent to employment with TRW itself, and your continuous employment will
not be deemed to be interrupted by reason of your transfer among TRW and its
subsidiaries. "Subsidiary" means a corporation or other entity in an unbroken

U.S. TRANSFERABLE NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


TERMS AND CONDITIONS



1.  PURCHASE RIGHTS

This option cannot be exercised before the first anniversary of the date of
grant. After that you will be entitled to purchase up to 33-1/3% of the shares
covered by this option, rounded down to the nearest whole share for each of the
first two years, for each full year of your continuous employment with TRW Inc.
("TRW") after the date of grant. The purchase rights accumulate as shown in the
following table.

             3                              100%
</TABLE>

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the termination of your
employment due to your death or to your disability for a period of more than
twelve months (as determined in accordance with the TRW Long-Term Disability
Plan), or in the event of a change in control of TRW, this option will
immediately become exercisable in respect of all of the shares covered by this
grant. For purposes of this agreement, a change in control is defined in
resolutions adopted by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the
Directors of TRW on July 26, 1989, which, in summary, provide that a change in
control is a change occurring (a) by virtue of TRW's merger, consolidation or
reorganization into or with, or transfer of assets to, another corporation or
(b) by virtue of a change in the majority of the Directors of TRW during any
two-year period unless the election of each new Director was approved by a
two-thirds vote of the Directors in office at the beginning of such period or
(c) through the acquisition of shares representing 20% or more of the voting
power of TRW or (d) through any other change in control reported in any filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided, however, that no change
in control is deemed to have occurred by the acquisition of shares, or any
report of such acquisition, by TRW, a subsidiary of TRW or a TRW-sponsored
employee benefit plan. The language of the resolutions controls over this
summary language.

2.  EXERCISE IN WHOLE OR PART

To the extent this option has become exercisable, you may purchase on any date
or dates all or any part of the shares which you are then entitled to purchase.
However, no fractional shares may be purchased.

3.  TERM OF OPTION

To the extent this option has become exercisable in accordance with paragraph 1
above, it may be exercised by you at any time during the 10-year period
beginning on the date of grant. To the extent this option remains unexercised at
the end of the 10-year period, your unexercised purchase rights will terminate.
To the extent unexercised, this stock option will terminate before the end of
such 10-year period in the following cases:

(a) If your employment with TRW terminates before you reach age 55, your
unexercised purchase rights will terminate three months after the date your
employment terminates.

(b) If the Directors of TRW shall find that you intentionally committed an act
materially inimical to the interests of TRW or a subsidiary, your unexercised
purchase rights will terminate as of the time you committed such act, as
determined by the Directors.

If your employment is terminated by your death or by your disability for a
period of more than twelve months (as determined in accordance with the TRW
Long-Term Disability Plan), your purchase rights will not be subject to
termination under clause (a) above and will continue for the entire 10-year
period. In the event of a change in control of TRW (as defined herein), your
purchase rights will not under any circumstances be subject to termination
before the end of the 10-year period beginning on the date of grant. Nothing
contained in this option shall extend this option beyond a 10-year period
beginning on the date of grant or shall limit whatever right TRW or a subsidiary
might otherwise have to terminate your employment at any time.

4.  PAYMENT OF OPTION PRICE

The option price shall be payable at the time of exercise. The option price
shall be paid at the Office of Secretary at TRW's corporate headquarters or at
any other place designated by the Secretary. The option price may be paid in
cash, by delivery of full shares of TRW Common, by a cashless exercise, or in
any combination of the foregoing, in accordance with such procedures and subject
to such further conditions as the Secretary of TRW may establish from time to
time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee
of TRW at any time may suspend or terminate your right to pay any or all of the
option price in shares of TRW Common.

Cash payments shall be made in United States dollars.

Shares delivered in payment of the option price shall be valued at their fair
market value on the date of exercise. For purposes of this option, "fair market
value" is the average of the high and low sales prices of a share of TRW Common
on the date of exercise on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions
Listing as reported in the Midwest edition of The Wall Street Journal (or if
there are no sales on such date, then the closing sale price on such Listing on
the nearest date before the date of exercise) or such other method or procedure
for determining fair market value as the Compensation and Stock Option Committee
of TRW in its sole discretion may determine. For purposes of this option, the
"date of exercise" is the date on which written notice, accompanied by the
option price, is received by the Secretary of TRW or his designee that you have
elected to exercise all or part of this option.

<PAGE>   2


5.  TAXES

Upon any exercise of this option, TRW may withhold delivery of certificates for
the purchased shares until you make arrangements satisfactory to TRW to pay any
withholding, transfer or other taxes due as a result of such exercise. You may
elect, in accordance with applicable regulations of the Compensation and Stock
Option Committee of TRW, to pay a portion or all of the amount of required
withholding taxes in cash, through a cashless exercise or in shares of TRW
Common, either by delivering to TRW previously held shares of TRW Common or by
having shares of TRW Common withheld from the shares purchased hereunder.

6.  SECURITIES LAWS

This option shall not be exercisable if such exercise would violate any federal
or state securities law. TRW will use its best efforts to make such filings and
initiate such proceedings as may be necessary to prevent such violations unless
the Directors of TRW determine, in their sole discretion, that such filings or
proceedings would result in undue expense or hardship for TRW. TRW may place
appropriate legends on the certificates for the optioned shares, give
stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agents or take any other action to
achieve compliance with those laws in connection with any exercise of this
option or your resale of the optioned shares.

7.  TRANSFERABILITY

This option is not transferable except (a) by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, or (b) by gift to any member of your immediate family, to a trust
for the benefit of an immediate family member, or to a partnership whose
beneficiaries are members of your immediate family; provided, however, that
there may be no consideration for any such transfer. For purposes of this
agreement, "immediate family member" shall mean your spouse, children and
grandchildren. Notwithstanding any transfer of this option pursuant to clause
(b) of this Section 7, you will continue to be solely responsible for the taxes
described in Section 5 of this agreement. Any option transferred pursuant to the
terms of this Section 7 shall continue to be subject to the same terms and
conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the transfer.


8.  LEAVES OF ABSENCE

If you take a leave of absence for illness, military or governmental service or
other reasons, and such leave has been specifically approved by the Chairman of
the Board or the President of TRW for purposes of this option, then such leave
will not be treated as an interruption of your employment.

9.  ADJUSTMENTS

The Compensation and Stock Option Committee of TRW may make such adjustments in
the option price and in the number or kind of shares of TRW Common or other
securities covered by this option as it in its sole discretion may determine are
equitably required to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights that would
otherwise result from any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of TRW, merger,
consolidation, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other
corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing.

10.  CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this option, employment with a subsidiary will be treated as
equivalent to employment with TRW itself, and your continuous employment will
not be deemed to be interrupted by reason of your transfer among TRW and its
subsidiaries. "Subsidiary" means a corporation or other entity in an unbroken
chain of entities beginning with TRW if each of the entities other than the last
entity in the unbroken chain owns stock or other ownership interests possessing
50% or more of the total outstanding combined voting power of all classes of
stock or other interests in the next entity in the chain. "Subsidiary" also
means, if not covered by the definition of subsidiary in the preceding sentence
and if specifically approved by the Chairman of the Board of TRW with respect to
this option, a corporation or other entity in which TRW has a direct or indirect
ownership interest.

11.  MISCELLANEOUS

This stock option is subject to all the terms and conditions of the TRW plan
pursuant to which it is granted. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee of
TRW has authority to interpret and construe any provision of this instrument and
the TRW plan pursuant to which this stock option is granted, and any such
interpretation and construction shall be binding and conclusive. Any reference
in this option to the Directors of TRW includes the Executive Committee of the
Directors.

of this agreement, a change in control is defined in resolutions adopted by the
Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Directors of TRW on July 26,
1989, which, in summary, provide that a change in control is a change occurring
(a) by virtue of TRW's merger, consolidation or reorganization into or with, or

majority of the Directors of TRW during any two-year period unless the election
of each new Director was approved by a two-thirds vote of the Directors in
office at the beginning of such period or (c) through the acquisition of shares
representing 20% or more of the voting power of TRW or (d) through any other
change in control reported in any filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission; provided, however, that no change in control is deemed to have
occurred by the acquisition of shares, or any report of such acquisition, by
TRW, a subsidiary of TRW or a TRW-sponsored employee benefit plan. The language
of the resolutions controls over this summary language.

                           REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT


         This Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of December 10, 1997 (this
"AGREEMENT"), is among TRW Inc., an Ohio corporation (the "COMPANY") and the
financial institutions listed on the signature pages hereof together with their
successors or assigns (collectively, the "BANKS" and individually, a "BANK").
Certain terms being used in this Agreement are hereinafter defined in Section
13.

                              W I T N E S S E T H:
                              --------------------

         WHEREAS, the Company has requested the Banks to make certain unsecured
loans to the Company and certain Subsidiaries of the Company designated by the
Company for general corporate purposes, including without limitation for working
capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions (directly or indirectly) of assets,
stock or other ownership interests, and repurchases or redemptions of
securities; and

         WHEREAS, the Banks have agreed to make such loans on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained
herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:


SECTION 1           COMMITMENT OF THE BANKS; TYPES OF LOANS;
                    PROCEDURES FOR BORROWING OR CONVERTING.

         1.1 COMMITMENT. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
each of the Banks, severally and for itself alone, agrees to make loans
(collectively, the "LOANS" and individually, a "LOAN") to the Company and, as
provided in Section 1.8, to any Designated Subsidiary on a revolving basis from
time to time during the period (the "REVOLVING PERIOD") from the date hereof
through the Revolving Period Termination Date, as it may be extended from time
to time pursuant to Section 1.2, in such aggregate amounts as the Company or any
Designated Subsidiary may from time to time request from such Bank; provided,
however, that the aggregate principal amount of Loans that any Bank shall be
committed to have outstanding to the Company and the Designated Subsidiaries
shall not at any one time exceed the amount set forth opposite such Bank's
signature hereto, or any subsequent amendment hereto (except to the extent
provided in Section 1.9 hereof). The foregoing commitment of each Bank to make
Loans as reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof is herein
called such Bank's "COMMITMENT" and the commitments of all Banks are herein
sometimes collectively called the "COMMITMENTS." Loans may not be made after the
Revolving Period Termination Date, as it may be extended from time to time
pursuant to Section 1.2, but if the Company shall have made the election
provided in clause (ii) of Section 2.1, Loans

outstanding at the end of the Revolving Period may thereafter be Continued or
Converted as herein provided.

         1.2 EXTENSION OF REVOLVING PERIOD TERMINATION DATE. No later than 60
days prior to the Revolving Period Termination Date then in effect, the Company
may request, by written notice, that any one or more of the Banks extend the
Revolving Period Termination Date as to that Bank's Commitment for a period of
364 days commencing on the Revolving Period Termination Date then in effect.
Each Bank receiving such an extension request from the Company shall notify the
Company in writing no later than 20 days prior to the Revolving Period
Termination Date then in effect of such Bank's determination to extend or not to
extend the Revolving Period Termination Date. A notice given by a Bank to extend
the Revolving Period Termination Date pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall be
irrevocable (subject to Section 11.2). Any Bank that fails to respond to the
Company's request to extend the Revolving Period Termination Date within such
time period shall be deemed to have given notice to the Company that such Bank
does not desire to extend the Revolving Period Termination Date.

         1.3 VARIOUS TYPES OF LOANS. Each Loan shall be either a Base Rate Loan,
a Domestic CD Loan, a Eurocurrency Loan, a Local Currency Loan, or a Negotiated
Loan (each herein called a "TYPE" of Loan), as the Company shall specify in the
related notice of borrowing, Continuation, or Conversion pursuant to Section 1.4
or 1.5. Domestic CD Loans, Eurocurrency Loans, Local Currency Loans, and
Negotiated Loans bearing interest at a fixed rate for a fixed period of time are
sometimes collectively called "FIXED RATE LOANS." Each Loan shall be made in
U.S. Dollars or such other currency as is requested by the Company and shall be
available at the time and for the period requested by the Company. Each Loan
shall bear interest at the rate specified in Section 3.1 and shall mature on and
be due and payable in full on the earliest of: (i) the Revolving Period
Termination Date, unless the Company shall have made the election provided for
in clause (ii) of Section 2.1 of this Agreement, (ii) the Term-Out Maturity
Date, if the Company shall have made such election; (iii) the end of an Interest
Period (unless the Loan is Continued or Converted); or (iv) such other date as
the Company and the Relevant Bank shall otherwise agree in writing. The
Eurocurrency specified in any notice of borrowing, Continuation, or Conversion
given by the Company pursuant to Section 1.4 or 1.5 shall be deemed to be
available for purposes of this Agreement, unless the Relevant Bank gives the
Company notice (which may be by telephone) no later than the earlier of (a)
12:00 noon, Cleveland time, on the second Business Day prior to the proposed
date making the Eurocurrency Loan, or (b) one hour after the Relevant Bank has
received the notice of borrowing, Continuation, or Conversion, as applicable.
The Relevant Bank's determination in good faith that a proposed Eurocurrency is
or is not available shall be final.

         1.4 NOTICE OF BORROWING, CONTINUATION OR CONVERSION. The Company,
through an Authorized Person, shall give written or telephonic notice to the
Relevant Bank of each proposed borrowing from such Bank, or Conversion or
Continuation of Loans made by such Bank, by 11:00 a.m., Cleveland time, (a) on
the proposed date of 



                                       2
<PAGE>   8


such borrowing, Conversion, or Continuation if such borrowing, Conversion, or
Continuation is comprised of Base Rate Loans, Domestic CD Loans, or Negotiated
Loans, (b) at least two Business Days prior to the proposed date of such
borrowing, Conversion, or Continuation if such borrowing, Conversion, or
Continuation is comprised of Eurocurrency Loans (provided that at least one
Business Day prior to such written or telephonic notice of proposed nondollar
denominated Eurocurrency Loan borrowing, Continuation or Conversion, the
Company, through an Authorized Person, shall give written or telephonic notice
to the Relevant Bank of the Company's intention to request a Eurocurrency Loan),
and (c) with respect to Local Currency Loans, at least two Business Days prior
to the proposed date of such borrowing, Conversion, or Continuation or such
other period of time as is customary for the particular Local Currency. Each
such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Relevant Bank and shall
specify the date, amount, currency, and type of borrowing and, in the case of a
borrowing comprising Fixed Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period for such
borrowing. Each notice of a Conversion or Continuation of Loans shall specify
the date and amount of such Conversion or Continuation, the Loans to be so
Converted or Continued, the type and currency of Loans to be Converted into or
Continued, and, in the case of a Conversion into or Continuation of Fixed Rate
Loans, the initial or succeeding Interest Period, as the case may be. Each
borrowing shall be on a Business Day and shall be in an aggregate amount of not
less than 1,000,000 U.S. Dollars for Base Rate Loans and not less than 5,000,000
U.S. Dollars (or the Eurocurrency Equivalent Amount) for any other type of Loan,
other than Local Currency Loans (which shall be as agreed between the Company
and the Relevant Bank).

         1.5 CONVERSION AND CONTINUATION PROCEDURES. The Company may convert all
or part of any outstanding Loans to Loans of a different type, or may elect to
continue any Fixed Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period, by giving
notice to the Relevant Bank of such Conversion or Continuation within the time
periods specified in Section 1.4. If, with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan, the
Company shall not either repay the Loan in full by 2:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or give notice of its
intention to Convert or Continue such Fixed Rate Loan within the time periods
specified in Section 1.4, then the Company shall be deemed to have requested
that such Loan automatically be converted into a Base Rate Loan at the end of
such Interest Period (and such Loan shall automatically so Convert into a Base
Rate Loan at the end of such Interest Period). Except as provided in
Section 7.4, no Fixed Rate Loans shall be Converted on any day other than the
last day of the current Interest Period relating to such Loans.

         1.6 NEGOTIATED LOANS. From time to time, the Company may request,
through an Authorized Person, and a Bank may, but shall not be obligated to,
agree to make, a Loan in U.S. Dollars bearing interest at a rate per annum, and
for a fixed period, agreed to by the Relevant Bank and the Company (each, a
"NEGOTIATED LOAN" and collectively, the "NEGOTIATED LOANS").

         1.7 LOCAL CURRENCY LOANS. From time to time, the Company may request,
through an Authorized Person, and a Bank may, but shall not be obligated to,
agree to make a Loan in a Local Currency specified by the Company bearing
interest at a rate 


                                       3
<PAGE>   9


per annum agreed to by the Bank and the Company (each, a "LOCAL CURRENCY LOAN"
and collectively, the "LOCAL CURRENCY LOANS"). Repayments of principal of and
interest on Local Currency Loans shall be made in the currency borrowed and
shall be paid to the local office of the Relevant Bank which made the Loan. The
local office may request additional documentation of the indebtedness if
customary at the place of business of the branch; provided, however, that the
terms and conditions of that documentation shall be consistent with those set
forth in this Agreement unless unlawful or ineffective under local law.

         1.8 LOANS TO DESIGNATED SUBSIDIARIES. Each Designated Subsidiary may
request, through an Authorized Person, Local Currency Loans or Eurocurrency
Loans and Convert or Continue such Loans, and shall repay the principal of and
accrued interest on such Loans, all as though the Designated Subsidiaries were
parties to this Agreement and references to the "Company" in Sections 1.3, 1.4,
1.5, 1.7, 2.1, 3.1, 3.4, 3.5, 5.2 and 6.1 shall mean and include the Designated
Subsidiaries. The Relevant Bank may request additional documentation of the
indebtedness if customary at the place of business of the Relevant Bank;
provided, however, that the terms and conditions of that documentation shall be
consistent with those set forth in this Agreement unless unlawful or ineffective
under local law.



SECTION 2           REPAYMENT OF LOANS; NOTES EVIDENCING LOANS.

         2.1 REPAYMENT OF LOANS. The Company hereby promises to pay to each Bank
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Bank's Loans on the earliest of:

                    (i) the Revolving Period Termination Date, unless the
         Company shall have made the election provided for in clause (ii) below;

                    (ii) the Term-Out Maturity Date, if the Company shall have
         elected in a written notice delivered to all of the Banks no later than
         15 days prior to the Revolving Period Termination Date to pay, on the
         Term-Out Maturity Date, all Loans which are outstanding at the end of
         the Revolving Period;

                    (iii) the last day of the applicable Interest Period for
         such Loan (unless the Loan is Continued or Converted); or

                    (iv) such other date as the Company and the Relevant Bank
         may agree in writing.

Repayment of any Eurocurrency Loan shall be in the same currency in which such
Loan was advanced.

         2.2 NOTES. The Loans of each Bank shall be evidenced by a promissory
note (individually, a "NOTE", and collectively for all Banks, the "NOTES")
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, with appropriate insertions,
dated the date of the initial 


                                       4
<PAGE>   10



Loan (or such earlier date as shall be satisfactory to the Relevant Bank),
payable to the order of such Bank in the principal amount of such Bank's
Commitment (or, if less, in the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all of such
Bank's Loans hereunder).

         2.3 OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE NOTES. Each Note shall provide for the
payment of interest as provided in Section 3.

         2.4 RECORDKEEPING. Each Bank shall record in its records, or at its
option on the schedule attached to its Note, the date, amount, and type of each
Loan made by such Bank, each repayment, Continuation, or Conversion thereof, and
the dates on which each Interest Period for each Fixed Rate Loan shall begin and
end. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be rebuttable
presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on such Note. The
failure so to record any such amount or any error in so recording any such
amount, however, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the
Company hereunder or under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans,
together with all interest accruing thereon.


SECTION 3           INTEREST.

         3.1 INTEREST RATES. With respect to each Loan, the Company hereby
promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof for the period
commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan is paid in full, as follows:

         (a)        At all times while such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate
                    per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in
                    effect;

         (b)        At all times while such Loan is a Domestic CD Loan, during
                    each Interest Period, at a rate per annum equal to the
                    Domestic CD Rate (Adjusted) applicable to such Interest
                    Period, plus the Applicable Margin;

         (c)        At all times while such Loan is a Eurocurrency Loan, during
                    each Interest Period, at a rate per annum equal to the
                    Eurocurrency Rate (Reserve Adjusted) applicable to such
                    Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; and

         (d)        At all times while such Loan is a Negotiated Loan or a Local
                    Currency Loan, at the rate per annum agreed to by the
                    Company and the Relevant Bank pursuant to Section 1.6 or
                    1.7, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) and
subject to Section 1.5, in the event that any principal of any Loan is not paid
when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise), after the due date of such
principal until such principal is paid, the unpaid principal amount of, and
accrued but unpaid interest on, 


                                       5
<PAGE>   11


Revolving Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the higher of
the rate borne by such Loan or the Relevant Bank's Base Rate from time to time
in effect, plus 1% per annum, subject to the maximum applicable legal rate.

         3.2 INTEREST PAYMENT DATES. Accrued interest on each Base Rate Loan
outstanding for 45 days or more shall be payable (i) quarterly in arrears on the
tenth day of each April, July, October, and January for the quarterly period
ended on the last day of the preceding month, and (ii) at maturity, commencing
with the earlier of such dates to occur after the date hereof. Accrued interest
on each Base Rate Loan outstanding for less than 45 days shall be payable in
full on the date such Base Rate Loan is paid in full. Except as otherwise agreed
by the Relevant Bank, accrued interest on each Fixed Rate Loan shall be payable
on the last day of the Interest Period of each such Loan (or, in the case of a
Domestic CD Loan or Negotiated Rate Loan with an Interest Period of 90 days or
longer or a Eurocurrency Loan with an Interest Period of three months or longer,
accrued interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the tenth day of each
April, July, October and January and on the last day of each such Interest
Period). After maturity, accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable on
demand. Interest on any Eurocurrency Loan shall be paid in the same currency in
which such Loan was advanced.

         3.3 INTEREST PERIODS FOR FIXED RATE LOANS. Prior to each borrowing,
Continuation, or Conversion of Fixed Rate Loans, the Company shall specify, in
the related notice of borrowing, Continuation, or Conversion pursuant to
Sections 1.4 or 1.5, the duration of the Interest Period for such Fixed Rate
Loans. Each notice to the Relevant Bank of an Interest Period shall be in
writing or by telephone and shall be given by an Authorized Person.

         3.4 SETTING AND NOTICE OF RATES. For each Loan made hereunder, the
applicable interest rate for each Interest Period or other period shall be the
rate quoted by the Relevant Bank to the Company for that particular type of
Loan. The Relevant Bank shall, upon written request of the Company, deliver to
the Company a statement showing the calculation of (i) any applicable Domestic
CD Rate (Adjusted), (ii) any applicable Eurocurrency Rate (Reserve Adjusted) or
(iii) the rate of interest per annum applicable to Negotiated Loans or Local
Currency Loans hereunder.

         3.5 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Interest shall be computed for the actual
number of days elapsed (with interest accruing on the first day, but not the
last day, of such Loan) on the basis of (a) with respect to Domestic CD Loans
and Eurocurrency Loans, a 360 day year, (b) with respect to Base Rate Loans, a
365 or 366 day year, as the case may be, (c) with respect to Negotiated Loans, a
365 or 366 day year, as the case may be, or such other basis as is agreed to by
the Company and the Relevant Bank, and (d) with respect to Local Currency Loans,
on a basis consistent with local customs that is agreed to by the Relevant Bank
and the Company.

SECTION 4           FEES.

         4.1 COMMITMENT FEE. The Company agrees to pay to each Bank a commitment
fee, for the period from and including the date of this Agreement to the
Revolving Period Termination Date, on the daily average of the Unused Amount of
such Bank's Commitment hereunder equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee in
effect from time to time times the Unused Amount. Such commitment fee shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the tenth day of each April, July, October, and
January (the first such payment to be made on January 10, 1998) for the
quarterly period ended on the last day of the preceding month and on the
Revolving Period Termination Date. The Company may make such payments according
to the Electronic Payment Instructions.

         4.2 COMPUTATION OF FEES. Fees shall be computed for the actual number
of days elapsed on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as the case may be.


SECTION 5           REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS;
                    PREPAYMENT.

         5.1 REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS. The Company may from
time to time prior to the Termination Date on at least three Business Days'
prior written notice given by an Authorized Person to any Bank permanently
reduce the amount of such Bank's Commitment to an amount not less than the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans made by such Bank then
outstanding. Any such reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than
1,000,000 U.S. Dollars, or such lesser amount of such Bank's Unused Amount then
remaining.

         5.2 OPTIONAL PREPAYMENT. The Company may from time to time prepay the
Loans in whole or in part, provided that (a) an Authorized Person shall give the
Relevant Bank not less than three Business Days' prior notice thereof,
specifying the Loans to be prepaid, and the date and amount of prepayment and
(b) each partial prepayment shall be in the principal amount of 1,000,000 U.S.
Dollars (or the Eurocurrency or Local Equivalent Amount thereof) or such lesser
amount as is then outstanding on the Loan being prepaid.

         5.3 MANDATORY PREPAYMENT. On each day on which the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of Loans owing to any Bank on such day exceeds
(whether as a result of currency fluctuations or otherwise) such Bank's
Commitment hereunder, the Company shall pay to such Bank on demand a mandatory
prepayment in the amount of such excess. Mandatory prepayments required by this
Section 5.3 shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans until paid in full and
then, at the Company's election and in the order specified by the Company, to
Fixed Rate Loans.



                                       7
<PAGE>   13


SECTION 6           MAKING AND APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.

         6.1 MAKING OF PAYMENTS. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.2
hereof, all payments (including those made pursuant to Section 5) of principal
of, or interest on, the Loans shall be made by the Company to the Relevant Bank
in immediately available funds in the Obligation Currency.

         6.2 APPLICATION OF CERTAIN PAYMENTS. Each payment of principal on any
Loan shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to such of the other
Loans as the Company shall direct by written or telephonic notice given by an
Authorized Person to the Relevant Bank on or before the date of such payment, or
in the absence of such notice, as the Relevant Bank shall determine in its
discretion.

         6.3 DUE DATE EXTENSION. If any payment of principal or interest with
respect to any of the Loans or Notes falls due on a Saturday, Sunday, or other
day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the
next following Business Day (except as provided in the last sentence of the
definition of Interest Period), and additional interest shall accrue and be
payable for the period of such extension.

SECTION 7           INCREASED COSTS AND TAXES.

         7.1        INCREASED CAPITAL.

         (a)        If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any
                    applicable law, rule, or regulation regarding capital
                    adequacy, or any change therein, or change in the
                    interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
                    authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with
                    the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
                    by any Bank with any request or directive regarding capital
                    adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any
                    such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has the
                    effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank's capital
                    as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level
                    below that which such Bank would have achieved but for such
                    adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration
                    such Bank's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
                    amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to
                    time within 15 days after demand by such Bank, the Company
                    shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as
                    will compensate such Bank for such reduction; provided,
                    that, no Bank shall request, and the Company shall not be
                    obligated to pay, any amounts in excess of the amounts
                    charged by such Bank to similarly situated borrowers of such
                    Bank under revolving credit facilities similar to the one
                    provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Bank shall
                    not be entitled to compensation from the Company for any
                    such additional amounts incurred more than 30 days before
                    the date on which the Bank notifies the Company of any event
                    which would entitle the Bank to compensation pursuant to
                    this Section 7.1.


                                       8
<PAGE>   14



         (b)        Each Bank will promptly notify the Company of any event of
                    which it has knowledge that will entitle such Bank to
                    compensation pursuant to this Section 7.1, together with a
                    certificate signed by an authorized officer of the Bank
                    setting forth the basis of such demand and certifying that
                    the amounts demanded hereunder are not in excess of the
                    amounts charged by such Bank to similarly situated borrowers
                    of such Bank under revolving credit facilities similar to
                    the one provided herein. The Bank will designate a different
                    lending office if such designation will avoid the need for,
                    or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in
                    the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise
                    disadvantageous to such Bank or contrary to its stated
                    policies. The Bank's certification of the additional amount
                    or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in
                    the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such
                    amount, such Bank may use reasonable averaging and
                    attribution methods.

         7.2 INCREASED COSTS. If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any
applicable law, rule, or regulation or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank with any
request, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank, or comparable agency,

         (a)        shall subject any Bank to any tax, duty, or other charge
                    with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans, its Notes or its
                    obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans, or shall change the
                    basis of taxation of payments to any Bank of the principal
                    of or interest on its Fixed Rate Loans or any other amounts
                    due under this Agreement in respect of its Fixed Rate Loans
                    or its obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans (except for the
                    imposition of any tax or changes in the rate of tax imposed
                    on the overall income of such Bank); or

         (b)        shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve
                    (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the
                    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but
                    excluding any reserve included in the determination of
                    interest rates pursuant to Section 3), special deposit, or
                    similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
                    the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank;

and as a result of any of the foregoing the cost to such Bank of making or
maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan is increased (or a cost is imposed on such
Bank), or the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank under this
Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto is reduced, then within 15
days after demand by such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement
setting forth the basis of such demand), the Company shall pay directly to such
Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such
increased cost or such reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Bank shall
not be entitled to any compensation from 


                                       9
<PAGE>   15



the Company for any such increased cost or such reduction attributable to any
period that is more than 30 days before the date on which the Bank notifies the
Company of any event which would entitle the Bank to compensation pursuant to
this Section 7.2. No Bank is entitled to reimbursement for any amounts paid as a
result of taxes currently imposed on such Bank.

         7.3 BASIS FOR DETERMINING INTEREST RATE INADEQUATE. If with respect to
any Interest Period:

         (a)        a Bank reasonably determines that deposits in a requested
                    Eurocurrency (in the applicable amounts) are not being
                    offered to the Bank in the relevant market for such Interest
                    Period requested by the Company, or a Bank otherwise
                    reasonably determines (which determination shall be binding
                    and conclusive on all parties) that by reason of
                    circumstances affecting the interbank eurocurrency market
                    adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
                    the applicable Eurocurrency Rate (Reserve Adjusted); or

         (b)        a Bank advises the Company that the making or funding of
                    Eurocurrency Loans has become impracticable as a result of
                    an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in
                    the opinion of such Bank materially affects Eurocurrency
                    Loans,

then: (i) the affected Bank shall promptly notify the Company of such
circumstance, (ii) so long as such circumstances shall continue the affected
Bank shall not be under any obligation to make, Continue, or Convert Loans into
Eurocurrency Loans, and (iii) on the last day of the then current Interest
Period for Eurocurrency Loans, such Eurocurrency Loans shall, unless then repaid
in full or Converted into a Loan of a different type pursuant to Section 1.5,
automatically Convert to Base Rate Loans.

         7.4 CHANGES IN LAW RENDERING CERTAIN LOANS UNLAWFUL. In the event that
there occurs after the date hereof any change in applicable laws or regulations
(including the adoption of any new laws), or any change in the interpretation
of applicable laws or regulations by any governmental or other regulatory body
charged with the administration thereof, that makes it unlawful for a Bank to
make, maintain, or fund a type of Fixed Rate Loans, then (a) such Bank shall
promptly notify the Company of such circumstance, (b) the obligation of such
Bank to make, Continue, or Convert Loans into the type of Fixed Rate Loans made
unlawful for that Bank shall, upon the effectiveness of such event, be
suspended for the duration of such unlawfulness, and (c) on the last day of the
current Interest Period for Fixed Rate Loans of such type (or, in any event, if
the Bank affected by such change so requests, on such earlier date as may be
required by the relevant law, regulation, or interpretation), the Fixed Rate
Loans of such type made by such Bank shall, unless then repaid in full or
Converted into a Loan of a different type pursuant to Section 1.5,
automatically Convert to Base Rate Loans.


                                       10
<PAGE>   16



         7.5 FUNDING LOSSES. The Company hereby agrees that upon demand by any
  Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis
  for the calculations of the amount being claimed), the Company will indemnify
  such Bank against any net loss or expense which such Bank sustains or incurs
  (including, without limitation, any net loss or expense incurred by reason of
  the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such
  Bank to fund or maintain Fixed Rate Loans), as reasonably determined by such
  Bank, as a result of (a) any payment or prepayment or Conversion of any Fixed
  Rate Loan of such Bank on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period
  for such Loan, or (b) any failure of the Company to borrow, Continue, or
  Convert any Loans on a date specified therefor in a notice of borrowing (which
  shall not include the Company's notice of intention to request a Eurocurrency
  Loan), Continuation, or Conversion pursuant to this Agreement.

         7.6        CURRENCY INDEMNITY.

          (a)       The obligation of the Company under this Agreement and the
                    Notes to make payments in Dollars or in any Eurocurrency or
                    Local Currency in which the Loans or any portion thereof are
                    outstanding (the "OBLIGATION CURRENCY") shall not be
                    discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant
                    to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency
                    other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent to
                    which such tender or recovery shall result in the effective
                    receipt by the Banks of the full amount of the Obligation
                    Currency expressed to be payable under this Agreement or the
                    Notes. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing
                    judgment against the Company in any court or in any
                    jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any
                    currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other
                    currency being hereinafter referred to as the "JUDGMENT
                    CURRENCY") an amount due in the Obligation Currency under
                    the Notes, the conversion shall be made, at the option of
                    the Relevant Bank, at the rate of exchange prevailing on the
                    Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the
                    judgment is given (such Business Day as the case may be,
                    being hereinafter in this Section 7.6 referred to as the
                    "JUDGMENT CURRENCY CONVERSION DATE").

         (b)        If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing
                    between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date
                    of actual payment of the amount due, the Company agrees to
                    pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure
                    that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when
                    converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of
                    payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency
                    which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment
                    Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the
                    rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency
                    Conversion Date.

         (c)        Any amount due from the Company under the foregoing
                    subparagraph will be due as a separate debt and shall not be
                    affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due
                    otherwise hereunder.

         7.7 INCREASED TAX COSTS. The Company agrees to make all payments or
reimbursements under this Agreement free and clear of, and without deduction
for, any future taxes (including withholding taxes) imposed (except for any tax
or changes in the rate of tax imposed on overall income of any Bank) on payments
of principal, interest and fees or charges under the Agreement which are
attributable to, or represent, the application of any such tax for any time
period after the Company has received notice of such tax from such Bank. Such
Bank will use its reasonable efforts to minimize any taxes and will designate a
different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce
the amount of, such tax(es) and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such
Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank or contrary to its stated
policies. In the event that the Company is required to directly pay any such
taxes, the Company agrees to furnish such Bank with official tax receipts
evidencing payment of such taxes within forty-five (45) days after the due date
for each such payment. Each Bank agrees that in the event that any such
additional amount paid or reimbursed by the Company to or for such Bank in
respect of any taxes be recovered, in whole or in part, by such Bank (by credit,
offset, deduction or otherwise), against or in computing any income, franchise
or other taxes, such Bank will promptly reimburse the Company the amount of such
recovery. A transferee of any interest in the Agreement or the Notes shall not
be entitled to the benefits of this Section 7.7 with respect to any taxes which
would not have been incurred if there had been no transfer.


SECTION 8     WARRANTIES.

         The Company warrants to the Banks as of the date of this Agreement
that:

         8.1 CORPORATE ORGANIZATION. The Company is a corporation duly
incorporated and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio and the
Company is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation
authorized to do business in each jurisdiction of the United States where,
because of the nature of its activities or properties, such qualification is
required and where the failure to be so qualified would materially and adversely
affect the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

         8.2 AUTHORIZATION; NO CONFLICT. The execution, delivery, and
performance by the Company of this Agreement and the Notes are within the
Company's corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action, and do not and will not contravene or conflict with any provision of
applicable law in effect on the date hereof or of the Amended Articles of
Incorporation or Regulations of the Company or of any agreement for borrowed
money or other material agreement binding upon the Company. The Company has duly
executed and delivered this Agreement.



                                       12
<PAGE>   18



         8.3 VALIDITY AND BINDING NATURE. This Agreement is, and the Notes when
duly executed and delivered will be, legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective
terms.

         8.4 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company's audited consolidated financial
statements as at December 31, 1996 and its unaudited consolidated financial
statements as at September 30, 1997, copies of which have been furnished to each
Bank, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent
with that of the preceding fiscal year, and fairly present in all material
respects the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the
Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods
indicated, as applicable, and since the dates thereof until the date of this
Agreement there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated
financial condition of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a
whole.

         8.5 LITIGATION. Except as set forth in Schedule 8.5, there are no
material legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to
the business, to which the Company or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries is a
party or to which any of their respective properties is subject that are
required to be disclosed in the Company's periodic reports under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and that have not been so disclosed.

         8.6 COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA. Each member of the controlled group of
corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986), which includes the Company (the "TRW GROUP"), has (i) fulfilled its
obligations under the minimum funding standards of Part 3 of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and Section 412 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("CODE") with respect to each defined benefit plan
(as defined in Section 3 (35) of ERISA) maintained by a member of the TRW Group
("PLAN") and (ii) is in compliance in all material respects with the presently
applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each such Plan. No
member of the TRW Group has (x) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard
under Section 412 of the Code in respect of any Plan, (y) failed to make any
contribution or payment required to be made to a Plan or to any multi-employer
plan (as defined in Section 3 (37)(A) of ERISA) or made any amendment to any
Plan which has resulted or could result in the imposition of a lien or the
posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Code or (z) incurred any
liability under Title IV of ERISA other than the liability to the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA.

         8.7 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. The Company has conducted periodic reviews
of the effect of compliance with federal, state and local requirements relating
to the discharge of materials into the environment, in the course of which it
has identified and evaluated potential liabilities and costs. The Company has
established accruals for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable as
required by FASB Statement No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." To the
Company's knowledge, any liability that may result from the resolution of known
environmental matters in excess 


                                       13
<PAGE>   19



of amounts accrued therefor will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial position of the Company.

         8.8 TAXES. The Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries have filed all
United Stated federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns
which are required to have been filed by them (subject to any available
extensions) and have paid all taxes indicated as due on such returns. The
Company has made adequate and reasonable provision for all material taxes not
yet due and payable, if any, and all material assessments, if any.

         8.9 GOVERNMENT REGULATION. Neither the Company nor any of its
Consolidated Subsidiaries is registered as a public utility under the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 or as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.


SECTION 9           COVENANTS.

         Until the later of (i) the expiration or termination of the Commitments

request from time to time.

         9.2 NET WORTH. The Company will not permit Consolidated Net Worth to be
less than 1,600,000,000 U.S. Dollars less an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
the aggregate amount expended by the Company subsequent to December 31, 1995 for
the repurchase of its common stock and (ii) 600,000,000 U.S. Dollars.

         9.3        LIENS.

         (a)        The Company will not, and will not permit any Domestic
                    Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or assume any
                    mortgage, encumbrance, lien, pledge, charge, or security
                    interest of any kind (collectively and individually, a
                    "MORTGAGE" or "LIEN") upon or in any of its interests in any
                    Principal Property or upon or in any shares of capital stock
                    or indebtedness of any Domestic Subsidiary, whether such
                    interest, capital stock or indebtedness is now owned or
                    hereafter acquired, if such mortgage secures or is intended
                    to secure, directly or indirectly, the payment of any
                    indebtedness for money borrowed evidenced by notes, bonds,
                    debentures, or other written evidences of indebtedness (such
                    indebtedness for money borrowed being hereafter in Sections
                    9.3 and 9.4 collectively called "DEBT") without making
                    effective provision, and the Company in such case will make
                    or cause to be made effective provision, whereby all of the
                    Loans shall be secured by such mortgage equally and ratably
                    with any other Debt thereby secured; excluding, however,
                    from the operation of this Section 9.3:

                    (i)      mortgages on any Principal Property acquired,
                             constructed, or improved by the Company or any
                             Domestic Subsidiary after July 1, 1992 which are
                             created or assumed contemporaneously with, or
                             within 120 days after, such acquisition or
                             completion of such construction or improvement to
                             secure or provide for the payment of any part of
                             the purchase price of such Principal Property or
                             the cost of such construction or improvement
                             incurred after July 1, 1992, or, in addition to
                             mortgages contemplated by clauses (ii) and (iii)
                             below, mortgages on any such Principal Property
                             existing at the time or placed thereon at the time
                             of acquisition or leasing thereof by the Company or
                             any Domestic Subsidiary, or conditional sales
                             agreements or other

                             Principal Property now owned or leased or hereafter
                             acquired or leased by the Company or a Domestic
                             Subsidiary;

                    (ii)     mortgages on property (including shares of capital
                             stock or indebtedness of a corporation) of a
                             corporation existing at the time such corporation
                             becomes a Domestic Subsidiary or is merged or
                             consolidated with the Company or a Domestic
                             Subsidiary or existing at the time of a sale,
                             lease, or other disposition of the properties of
                             such corporation (or a division thereof) or other
                             Person as an entirety or substantially as an
                             entirety (which includes the sale, lease, or other
                             disposition of all or substantially all the assets
                             thereof) to the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary,
                             provided that no such mortgage shall extend to any
                             other Principal Property of the Company or any
                             Domestic Subsidiary or to any shares of capital
                             stock or any indebtedness of any Domestic
                             Subsidiary;

                    (iii)    mortgages created by the Company or a Domestic
                             Subsidiary to secure indebtedness of the Company or
                             a Domestic Subsidiary to the Company or to a Wholly
                             Owned Domestic Subsidiary;

                    (iv)     mortgages in favor of the United States of America
                             or any State, territory or possession thereof, or
                             any foreign country or any department, agency,
                             instrumentality, or political subdivision of any of
                             such domestic or foreign jurisdictions to secure
                             partial, progress, advance, or other payments
                             pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure
                             any debt incurred for the purpose of financing all
                             or any part of the purchase price of, or the cost
                             of constructing, the property subject to such
                             mortgages; and

                    (v)      mortgages for the sole purpose of extending,
                             renewing, or replacing (or successively extending,
                             renewing, or replacing) in whole or in part any
                             mortgage existing on July 1, 1992 or referred to in
                             the foregoing clauses (i) to (iv) inclusive or of
                             any debt secured thereby; provided, however, that
                             the principal amount of indebtedness secured
                             thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of
                             indebtedness so secured at the time of such
                             extension, renewal, or replacement, and that such
                             extension, renewal, or replacement mortgage shall
                             be limited to all or a part of the property which
                             secured the mortgage so extended, renewed, or
                             replaced (plus improvements on such property).


         (b)        Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this
                    Section 9.3, the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary may,
                    without equally and ratably 


                                       16
<PAGE>   22



                    securing all the Loans, create or assume mortgages which
                    would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions if
                    at the time of such creation or assumption, and after giving
                    effect thereto, Exempted Indebtedness does not exceed 15% of
                    Consolidated Net Tangible Assets determined as of a date not
                    more than 90 days prior thereto.

         9.4        SALE AND LEASEBACK.

         (a)        The Company will not, and will not permit any Domestic
                    Subsidiary to, sell, lease or transfer any Principal
                    Property owned by the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary as an
                    entirety, or any substantial portion thereof, to anyone
                    other than a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary (or the
                    Company or a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary in the case of
                    a Domestic Subsidiary) with the intention of taking back a
                    lease of such property (herein referred to as a "SALE AND
                    LEASEBACK TRANSACTION") except a lease for a period of not
                    more than 36 months by the end of which it is intended that
                    the use of such property by the lessee will be discontinued;
                    provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
                    or any Domestic Subsidiary may sell any such property and
                    lease it back if the net proceeds of such sale are at least
                    equal to the fair value (as determined by resolution adopted
                    by the Board of Directors of the Company) of such property,
                    and (i) the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary would be
                    entitled pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 9.3 to create
                    Debt secured by a mortgage on the property to be leased in
                    an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to
                    such Sale and Leaseback Transaction without equally and
                    ratably securing all the Loans, or (ii) if such sale or
                    transfer does not come within the exception provided by the
                    preceding clause (i), the net proceeds of such sale shall,
                    and in any such case the Company covenants that they will,
                    within 120 days after such sale, be applied (to the greatest
                    extent possible) either to the repayment of the Loans then
                    outstanding when due (whereupon the Commitments hereunder
                    shall be reduced, on a pro rata basis, to the extent that
                    such net proceeds are so applied) or to the retirement of

         of, or guaranteed by, the Company ("OTHER INDEBTEDNESS"), or default in
         the performance or observance of any obligation or condition with
         respect to any such Other Indebtedness if such default results in the

<PAGE>   25



         Commitments or the declaration that all Loans are immediately due and
         payable, in each case pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof, and as a result

         provision of this Agreement (and not constituting an Event of Default
         under any of the preceding provisions of this Section 11.1) and
         continuance of such failure for 30 days after written notice thereof to
         the Company from the Majority Banks.

                    11.1.5 WARRANTIES. Any warranty made by the Company in
         Sections 8 or 14.16 of this Agreement is breached or is incorrect when
         made in any material respect and the Company shall fail to take
         corrective actions reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Banks within
         30 days after written notice thereof to the Company from the Majority
         Banks, except only in the case of a breach of the warranties contained
         in Section 8 or 14.16 made on the date of this Agreement, in which case
         there shall be no opportunity to take corrective actions.

         order from a judicial or administrative body (which order or judgment
         is fully enforceable against the Company or any of its Consolidated
         Subsidiaries in courts of the United States of America or any state
         thereof) for the payment of money in excess of 50,000,000 U.S. Dollars
         (after adjustments to reflect reductions for credits and set-offs
         asserted in good faith by the Company) shall be rendered against the
         Company, shall not have been discharged or vacated and shall have been
         in effect, in its final and unappealable form, for a period of 30

         11.2 EFFECT OF EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default described in
Section 11.1.3 shall occur, the Commitments (if they have not theretofore
terminated) shall immediately terminate and all Loans and Notes shall
automatically become immediately due and payable, all without notice of any
kind; and, in the case of any other Event of Default, the Majority Banks may
declare the Commitments (if they have not theretofore terminated) to be
terminated and the Outstanding Majority Banks may declare that all Loans and
Notes shall become immediately due and payable. The Majority Banks and the
Outstanding Majority Banks shall promptly advise the Company in writing of any
such declaration. Following the declaration that all Loans and Notes are
immediately due and payable, all payments made by the Company on account of the
Loans and Notes shall be made to the Administrator, which shall distribute such
payments on a pro rata basis (in relation to the amounts of outstanding Loans)
to Banks with outstanding Loans. Following such declaration, if any Bank
receives a payment that is not on a pro rata basis, such Bank will remit to the
Administrator any amount in excess of its pro rata portion. Upon receipt of any
such remittance, the Administrator will distribute such amount to the Banks with
outstanding Loans in order that all distributions will be pro rata. The effect
as an Event of Default of any event described in Section 11.1.1 or Section
11.1.3 may be waived only by the written concurrence of the holders of 100% of
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes and the Majority Banks, and
the effect as an Event of Default of any other event described in this Section
11 may be waived by the written concurrence of the Majority Banks and the
Outstanding Majority Banks.


SECTION 12          GUARANTY.

                    The Company hereby unconditionally, absolutely and
irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the
repayment to each Relevant Bank, when due pursuant to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, of the amount of any Loan made pursuant to this Agreement to
a Designated Subsidiary, together with accrued interest on such Loan; provided,
however, that before any amount shall be deemed due and payable pursuant to this
Section 12, the Relevant Bank must first give notice to the Company of the
nonpayment by the Designated Subsidiary, and the Company shall have five
Business Days from the receipt of such notice to cure or cause to be cured any
and all such nonpayments. The Company's obligations hereunder constitute a
guaranty of payment and not of collection merely. The Company hereby waives
notice of, and consents to, any extensions of time of payment, renewals,
compromises, settlements, releases or other indulgences from time to time
granted by the Relevant Bank in respect of Loans made to Designated
Subsidiaries. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12, the Company
hereby waives presentment, protest, demand of payment, notice of dishonor and
all notices and demands whatsoever. The obligations of the Company hereunder
shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by (i) any change in the
corporate existence or constitution, structure or ownership of any Designated
Subsidiary or the Company, (ii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or
similar proceeding affecting the Designated Subsidiary or its assets or the
Company or (iii) the existence 


                                       21
<PAGE>   27



of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Company may have at any time
against the Relevant Bank or any other person. If at any time any payment of any
obligation guaranteed hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of a Designated
Subsidiary or otherwise, the Company's obligations under this Section 12 with
respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment
had not been made. The Company shall not exercise any of its subrogation rights
with respect to amounts paid to a Relevant Bank pursuant to this Section 12
until all amounts guaranteed hereunder payable to such Relevant Bank have been
paid in full. Following such payment in full with regard to a Relevant Bank, the
Company shall be entitled to subrogation in the Relevant Bank's rights and, upon
the reasonable request of the Company, the Relevant Bank agrees to cooperate
with the Company in enforcement of the Company's subrogation rights, including
the transfer and delivery by the Relevant Bank to the Company of any and all
evidence of indebtedness relating to such Loan within the possession or control
of the Relevant Bank.


SECTION 13    CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.

with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Company's financial
condition shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been
made.

         14.5 CONFIDENTIALITY. Unless the Company otherwise agrees in writing,
each Bank hereby agrees to keep all Proprietary Information (as defined below)
confidential and not to disclose or reveal any Proprietary Information to any
Person 


                                       33

other than the Bank's directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, and agents,
and then only on a confidential basis; provided, however, that a Bank may
disclose Proprietary Information (a) as required by law, rule, regulation, or
judicial process, (b) to its attorneys and accountants, (c) as requested or
required by any state, federal, or foreign authority or examiner regulating
banks or banking, or (d) to actual or potential assignees or participants as
permitted by Section 14.6.3. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
"PROPRIETARY INFORMATION" shall include all information about the Company, any
Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates which has been furnished by
the Company, any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, whether
furnished before or after the date hereof, and regardless of the manner
furnished; provided, however, that Proprietary Information shall not include
information which (x) is or becomes generally available to the public other than
as a result of a disclosure by a Bank not permitted by this Agreement, (y) was
available to a Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure to such
Bank by the Company, any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, or
(z) becomes available to a Bank on a nonconfidential basis from a Person other
than the Company, any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates who, to
the best knowledge of such Bank, is not otherwise bound by a confidentiality
agreement with the Company, any Subsidiary, or any of their respective
Affiliates, or, to the best knowledge of such Bank, is not otherwise prohibited
from transmitting the information to such Bank.

         14.6 ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

                    14.6.1 ASSIGNMENTS. Unless the Company otherwise consents in
         writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, no holder of
         any Note (including any Bank) shall assign or transfer such Note or any
         interest therein to any other Person, except as otherwise permitted
         under Section 14.6. Except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by
         the Company, no Bank shall, by reason of the assignment or transfer of
         any Note or otherwise, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.
         Each transferee of any Note shall take such Note subject to the
         provisions of this Agreement and to any request made, waiver or consent
         given, or other action taken hereunder, prior to such transfer, by each
         previous holder of such Note; and the Company shall be entitled to
         conclusively assume that the transferee shall thereafter be vested with
         all rights and powers under this Agreement of the Bank named as the
         payee of the Note which is the subject of such transfer. Nothing herein
         shall prohibit any Bank from pledging or assigning any Note to any
         Federal Reserve Bank pursuant to applicable law.

                    14.6.2 PARTICIPATIONS. Any Bank may grant participations in
         or to all or any part of any Loan or Loans then owing to such Bank and
         the Notes held by such Bank without the consent of the Company. Except
         as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Company, no grant of a
         participation shall relieve any Bank of its obligations hereunder, the
         Company shall be entitled to deal solely with the Banks (and their
         respective assignees) for all purposes of this Agreement and the Notes,
         and no holder of a participation in all or any part of the Loans or the
         Notes shall have any rights under this Agreement, except that 


                                       34
<PAGE>   40



         the holder of a participation shall be entitled to the benefits of
         Section 7 hereunder (but the dollar amount of such Section 7 benefits
         shall not exceed those benefits that the assigning Bank would have
         otherwise received).

                    14.6.3 DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. The Company hereby
         consents to the disclosure of any information obtained in connection
         herewith by any Bank to any Person which is an assignee or potential
         assignee or a participant or potential participant pursuant to Section
         14.6.1 or 14.6.2, it being understood that such Bank shall advise any
         such actual or potential assignee or participant of its obligation to
         keep confidential any nonpublic information disclosed to it pursuant to
         this Section 14.6.3 and, prior to the disclosure of such information,
         shall cause each such actual or potential assignee or participant to
         execute a confidentiality agreement containing the confidentiality
         provisions set forth in Section 14.5.

         14.7 SECURITIES LAWS. Each Bank represents that it is the present
intention of such Bank to acquire each Note drawn to its order for its own
account and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, subject,
nevertheless, to the necessity that such Bank remain in control at all times of
the disposition of the property held by it for its own account, it being
understood that the foregoing representation shall not affect the character of
the Loans as commercial lending transactions.

         14.8 COSTS AND EXPENSES. The Company agrees to pay on demand all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Banks (including the
reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Banks and
reasonable allocated costs of in-house counsel for the Banks) in connection with
the enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes, and any other instruments or
documents executed in connection herewith.

         14.9 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and each Note shall be a contract
made under and governed by the internal laws of the State of Ohio. Wherever
possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Agreement. All obligations of the Company and rights of the Banks and any other
holders of the Notes expressed herein or in the Notes shall be in addition to
and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law.

         14.10 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties on separate counterparts and each such
counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same Agreement. When counterparts executed
by all the parties shall have been lodged with the Company (or, in the case of
any Bank as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been so lodged, the
Company shall have received telegraphic, telex, or other written confirmation
from such Bank of 


                                       35

execution of a counterpart hereof by such Bank), this Agreement shall become
effective as of the date hereof.

         14.11 CAPTIONS. Section captions used in this Agreement are for
convenience only, and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

         14.12 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Company, each Bank, and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure
to the sole benefit of the Company, each Bank, and their respective successors
and assigns.

         14.13 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreement
or understanding of the parties hereto, and contains the entire agreement of the
parties hereto, with respect to the matters covered hereby.

         14.14 APPOINTMENT OF ADMINISTRATOR. TRW hereby appoints National City
Bank to serve as administrator (the "ADMINISTRATOR") to coordinate any votes
that may be taken under this Agreement and to distribute payments, if any,
required to be made to the Banks on a pro rata basis as provided in Section
11.2. In the event that National City Bank is unable or unwilling to act as
Administrator, TRW shall appoint a successor, subject to the approval of the
Majority Banks, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, borrowing, repayment and fee procedures set forth
in this Agreement shall not be affected by the appointment of the Administrator.

         14.15 NON-U.S. BANK TAX INFORMATION. Upon the request of the Company,
any Bank that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or
any state thereof will (i) deliver to the Company accurate and complete signed
copies of Forms 1001 and 4224 (or such additional or successor forms) and any
amendments or modifications thereto and (ii) inform the Company if the Company
can no longer rely upon such forms.

         14.16 REGULATION U. The Company hereby represents and warrants that
neither the Company nor any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries is principally
engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and covenants that the Company's use of
proceeds of any borrowings under this Agreement will not cause a violation of
Regulation U. Each of the Banks hereby represents and warrants to the Company
that it is not relying and will not rely on any margin stock (as described
above) in determining whether to extend or maintain credit under this Agreement.

December 10, 1997






To:      Each of the Banks party to the
         Credit Agreements referred to
         below


Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am General Counsel of TRW Inc., an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), and have
acted in such capacity in connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated
as of December 10, 1997 (the "Credit Agreement"), among the Company and each of
the financial institutions listed on the signature pages thereof. Capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined are used herein as defined in the Credit
Agreement.

In connection with the opinions expressed below, I have examined or caused to be
examined by members of the TRW Law Department a copy of the Credit Agreement and
the Notes thereunder; and I have also made or caused to be made such other
examinations and inquiries as I have deemed necessary to enable me to give the
opinions hereinafter expressed. However, as to each of the opinions set forth
below which is limited to my knowledge, you should be aware that I have neither
made nor caused to be made any independent review for purposes of rendering this
opinion, although in the regular course of advising the Company I have reviewed
or caused to be reviewed various documents, records and matters of law.

Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:


1.       The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and in good standing
         under the laws of the State of Ohio.

<PAGE>   65

December 10, 1997
Page 2


2.       The Company has full power to execute, deliver, and perform the Credit
         Agreement and to borrow moneys thereunder and to execute, deliver, and
         perform its obligations under the Notes.

3.       The execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement and the Notes, the
         borrowings under the Credit Agreement, and the performance by the
         Company of its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Notes,
         have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not
         and will not contravene or conflict with any material provision of
         applicable law now in effect or of the Amended Articles of
         Incorporation or Regulations of the Company or, to my knowledge, of any
         agreement for borrowed money or other material agreement binding upon
         the Company.

4.       The Credit Agreement and the Notes have been duly executed and
         delivered by the Company and are the legal, valid, and binding
         obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms,
         except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, moratorium laws or debtor relief proceedings or any
         similar laws or proceedings affecting creditors' rights generally or by
         general principles of equity.

I am a member of the bar of the State of Ohio and do not purport to be an expert
on, generally familiar with or qualified to express legal conclusions based on
laws other than the laws of the State of Ohio and the United States of America.

This opinion is being delivered to you solely for your benefit as creditor under
the Credit Agreement and may be relied upon only by you for such purpose.

Very truly yours,




General Counsel

                                       2

                           [REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT
                         dated as of December 10, 1997]



In November 1997, Centoco Holdings Limited and an affiliate, KS Centoco Ltd.,
filed a lawsuit against TRW Inc. and certain Magna International Inc. entities
in the General Division Court in Ontario, Canada, alleging, among other things,
breach of contract, patent infringement and collusion. A Centoco affiliate
licensed from a company named KSAG certain air bag and steering wheel
technology. KSAG's successor was purchased by Magna International Inc., which in
turn sold 80% of the relevant Magna subsidiaries' stock to TRW Inc. in February
1997. The plaintiffs have claimed CN$600 million in damages. TRW believes this
matter is covered by an indemnification agreement between Magna and TRW. TRW
management is currently evaluating the claim and is unable to make a meaningful
estimate of the amount or range of possible liability at this time.

TRW Vehicle Safety Systems Inc. ("VSSI") has reported to the Arizona Department
of Environmental Quality ("ADEQ") potential violations of the Arizona hazardous
waste law at its Queen Creek, Arizona facility for the possible failure to
properly label and dispose of waste water that might be classified as hazardous
waste. ADEQ is conducting an investigation into these potential violations and
VSSI is cooperating with the investigation. If ADEQ initiates proceedings
against VSSI with respect to such matters, VSSI could be liable for penalties 
and fines and other relief. VSSI has been apprised by state and federal
officials that there are ongoing criminal investigations with respect to these
potential violations. Management is unable to make a meaningful estimate of the
amount or range of possible liability at this time.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of November 20,
1997, but effective as provided herein, is made and entered into by and between
TRW Inc., an Ohio corporation (the "Company" or "TRW", as the context requires),
and Philip A. Odeen (the "Executive").

         WHEREAS, the Executive has been serving as the President and Chief
Executive Officer of BDM International, Inc. ("Banneker"), a Delaware
corporation;

         WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement") among the Company, Systems Acquisition Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), and Banneker (the "Merger Agreement"),
as of the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), Merger Sub will
be merged with and into Banneker, with Banneker as the surviving entity (the
"Merger");

         WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement it is contemplated that
Executive will execute this Agreement upon the signing of the Merger Agreement
and, upon the date of the consummation of the Offer, as defined in the Merger
Agreement (the "Closing Date"), Executive will serve in the employ of the
Company or a subsidiary of the Company ("Company" as used herein will mean the
Company or a subsidiary of the Company);

         WHEREAS, the Company considers it in the best interests of its
stockholders to foster the continuous employment of certain key management
personnel of Banneker;

         WHEREAS, the Company wishes to assure itself of both present and future
continuation of management in light of the Merger;

         WHEREAS, the Company wishes to employ the Executive and the Executive
is willing to render services, both on the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Agreement;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the mutual
covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

         1.     EMPLOYMENT.

                  1.1     The Company hereby agrees to continue to employ the
Executive, and the Executive hereby agrees to continue employment with the
Company, upon the terms and conditions herein set forth.

                  1.2     Employment will continue for a term commencing on the
Closing Date and, subject to earlier expiration upon the Executive's termination
under Section 3, expiring on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the
"Employment Term").

<PAGE>   2



                  1.3     DUTIES. During the Employment Term, the Executive
will be the Company's full-time employee in a position requiring the Executive
to provide services of a similar character to those provided by the Executive to
Banneker immediately prior to the date hereof. The Executive will devote all of
his business time and attention to the performance of his duties to the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may, (i) subject to the approval of
the Company, serve as a director of a company which is not engaged in
"Competition" (as defined in Section 5.1 ) with the Company, (ii) serve as an
officer, director or otherwise participate in purely educational, welfare,
social, religious and civic organizations, and (iii) manage personal and family
investments.


         2.    COMPENSATION AND RELATED MATTERS.

                  2.1     COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

                           (i)     Annual Base Salary. Executive will receive an
annual base salary of not less than his annual base salary in effect immediately
prior to the Effective Time. In the event that the Executive relocates his
location of principal employment at the request of the Company, the Company will
in good faith consider a cost of living adjustment to annual base salary. Annual
base salary and merit increases to such salary will be payable at the times and
in the manner consistent with Banneker's general policies regarding compensation
of executive employees.

                           (ii)     Annual Incentive Compensation. Executive
will be eligible to receive annual incentive compensation based on incentive
target percentages of base salary comparable to such percentages in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time. Nothing in this Section 2.1 (ii) will
guarantee to the Executive any specific amount of incentive compensation, or
prevent the Board from establishing performance goals and compensation targets
applicable to the Executive.

                  2.2     EXECUTIVE BENEFITS. In addition to the compensation
described in Section 2.1, the Executive and his eligible dependents during the
Employment Term will be entitled to participate in employee benefit plans
currently offered by Banneker, including without limitation supplemental
retirement plans, executive life insurance and executive deferred compensation
plans, provided however that the Company reserves the right to provide
comparable benefits under new or substituted benefit plans.

                  2.3     EXPENSES. The Company will promptly reimburse the
Executive for all travel and other business expenses the Executive incurs in
order to perform his duties to the Company under this Agreement in a manner
commensurate with the Executive's position and level of responsibility with the
Company, and in accordance with the Company's policy regarding expenses.


         3.     TERMINATION. Notwithstanding the Employment Term specified in
Section 1.2, the termination of the Executive's employment hereunder will be
governed by the following provisions:


                                       2
<PAGE>   3



                  3.1    CAUSE.

                           (i)     The Company may terminate the Executive's
employment hereunder for Cause (as defined below). In the event of the
Executive's termination for Cause, the Company will promptly pay to the
Executive (or his representative) the unpaid annual base salary to which he is
entitled, pursuant to Section 2.1, through the date the Executive is terminated
and the Executive will be entitled to no other compensation, except as otherwise
due to him under applicable law.

                           (ii)     For purposes of this Agreement, the term
"Cause" means either (a) that the Executive shall have committed: (1) an
intentional act of fraud, embezzlement or theft in connection with his duties
or in the course of his employment with the Company; (2) intentional wrongful
damage to property of the Company; (3) intentional misconduct that is
materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise; (4) an
intentional breach of the Executive's obligations set forth in Section 5, and
any such act shall have been materially harmful to the Company; or (b) the
failure by the Executive to comply with the policies and procedures then
applicable to employees of the Company who have positions comparable to the
Executive; provided, however, that the Executive shall not be terminated for
Cause pursuant to this Section 3.1 (ii)(b) unless he shall have received a
written report setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which he has
failed to meet such policies and procedures and within 30 calendar days after
receiving such report, the Board (or Chief Executive Officer and/or President
of the Company) shall have determined in good faith that the Executive shall
have failed to make substantial progress in meeting the Company's policies and
procedures. For purposes of this Agreement, an act or failure to act on the
part of the Executive shall be deemed "intentional" only if done or omitted to
be done by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that
his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company.

                  3.2     TERMINATION.

                           (i)     Involuntary Termination. The Executive's
employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company for any reason by written
notice as provided in Section 8.4. The Executive will be treated for purposes of
this Agreement as having been involuntarily terminated by the Company other than
for Cause if the Executive terminates his employment with the Company for any of
the following reasons: (a) the Company requests that the Executive provide
services that are not of a similar character to those provided by the Executive
to Banneker immediately prior to the date hereof; (b) the Company has breached
any material provision of this Agreement and within 30 days after notice thereof
from the Executive, the Company fails to cure such breach; or (c) the Company
requires the Executive to relocate his principal place of employment to any
location outside a fifty mile radius from the location of the Executive's
principal place of employment immediately prior to the date hereof.

                           (ii)     Voluntary Termination. The Executive may
voluntarily terminate the Agreement at any time by notice to the Company as
provided in Section 8.4.


                                       3
<PAGE>   4


                  3.3    TERMINATION PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS.

                           (i)     Form and Amount. Upon the Executive's
involuntary termination other than for Cause during the Employment Term, the
Company will pay an amount to the Executive as follows: (a) if the termination
occurs on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, an amount
equal to three times the sum of the Executive's annual salary and target
annual incentive compensation in effect immediately prior to the termination,
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of full months
remaining in the Employment Term and the denominator of which is 36; and (b) if
the termination occurs after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, an
amount equal to the sum of the Executive's annual salary and target annual
incentive compensation in effect immediately prior to the termination. Any
amount due pursuant to this Section 3.3 will be payable in a lump sum less
applicable taxes within 30 days following termination.

                           (ii)     Maintenance of Benefits. During the period
set forth below, the Company will use its best efforts to maintain in full
force and effect for the continued benefit to the Executive, and his or her
eligible dependents, all health and welfare benefits which the Executive was
entitled to receive immediately prior to his termination or will arrange to
make available to the Executive benefits substantially similar to those that
the Executive would otherwise have been entitled to receive if his employment
had not been terminated. Such benefits will be provided to the Executive on the
same terms and conditions (including employee contributions toward the premium
payments) under which the Executive was entitled to participate immediately
prior to his termination. The term of continued benefits will be as follows:
(a) if the termination occurs on or prior to the second anniversary of the
Closing Date, the term will be the remainder of the Employment Term if there
had been no termination and (b) if the termination occurs after the second
anniversary of the Closing Date, the term will be 12 months.

                           (iii)     Release. No amount or benefit will be paid
or made available under this Section 3 unless (a) the Executive executes a
release in a form satisfactory to the Company, and (b) to the extent such
payment or benefit is subject to the seven-day revocation period prescribed by
the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, or to any similar
revocation period in effect on the date of termination of Executive's
employment, such revocation period has expired.


         4.     MITIGATION AND OFFSET. The Executive is under no obligation to
mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for hereunder by seeking
other employment or otherwise; provided, however, that the Executive's coverage
under the Company's health and welfare plans will be reduced to the extent that
the Executive becomes covered under any comparable employee benefit plan made
available by another employer and covering the same type of benefits. The
Executive will report to the Company any such benefits actually received by him.

         5.     COMPETITION; CONFIDENTIALITY; NONSOLICITATION

                  5.1     The Executive hereby covenants and agrees that during
the Employment Term and for the applicable period following the Employment Term
specified in Section 3.3(ii)(a) or (b), whichever would be applicable if Section
3.3(ii) applied (regardless of whether the Executive's termination of employment
was for cause or otherwise), he will not, without the prior written consent of
the Company, engage in Competition (as defined below) with the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive voluntarily
terminates his employment with the Company, the Non-Competition period provided
for herein will end on the later of (a) the second anniversary of the Closing
Date and (b) the six month anniversary of the termination date. For purposes of
this Agreement, "Competition" means participating in the management of any
business enterprise if such enterprise engages in substantial and direct
competition with the Company and such enterprise's sales of any product or
service competitive with any product or service of the Company amounted to 25%
of such enterprise's net sales for its most recently completed fiscal year and
if the Company's net sales of said product or service amounted to 25% of the
Company's net sales for its most recently completed fiscal year. "Competition"
will not include (i) the mere ownership of securities in any enterprise and
exercise of rights appurtenant thereto or (ii) participation in management of
any enterprise or business operation thereof other than in connection with the
competitive operation of such enterprise.

                  5.2     During the Employment Term, the Company agrees that it
will disclose to Executive its confidential or proprietary information (as
defined in this Section 5.2) to the extent necessary for Executive to carry out
his obligations under this Agreement. The Executive hereby covenants and agrees
that he will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, during the
Employment Term or thereafter disclose to any person not employed by the
Company, or use in connection with engaging in Competition with the Company, any
confidential or proprietary information of the Company. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "confidential or proprietary information" will include all
information of any nature and in any form that is owned by the Company and that
is not publicly available or generally known to persons engaged in businesses
similar or related to those of the Company. Confidential information will
include, without limitation, the Company's financial matters, customers,
employees, industry contracts, and all other secrets and all other information
of a confidential or proprietary nature. Confidential information shall not
include information that comes into the possession of the Executive following
termination from a source not under a duty to the Company to refrain from
disclosing such information. The foregoing obligations imposed by this Section
5.2 will cease if such confidential or proprietary information will have become,
through no fault of the Executive, generally known to the public or the
Executive is required by law to make disclosure (after giving the Company notice
and an opportunity to contest such requirement).

                  5.3     The Executive hereby covenants and agrees that during
the Employment Term and for one year following the Employment Term he will not
attempt to influence, persuade or induce, or assist any other person in so
persuading or inducing, any employee of the Company to give up, or to not
commence, employment or a business relationship with the Company.

<PAGE>   6



                  5.4     For purposes of this Section 5, the term the "Company"
means the Company and its subsidiaries, collectively.


         6.     POST-TERMINATION ASSISTANCE. The Executive agrees that after his
employment with the Company has terminated he will provide, upon reasonable
notice, such information and assistance to the Company as may reasonably be
requested by the Company in connection with any litigation, investigation, audit
or similar matter in which it or any of its affiliates is or may become a party;
provided, however, that the Company agrees to reimburse the Executive for any
related out-of-pocket expenses, including travel expenses.


         7.     SURVIVAL. The expiration or termination of the Employment Term
will not impair the rights or obligations of any party hereto that accrue
hereunder prior to such expiration or termination, except to the extent
specifically stated herein. In addition to the foregoing, the Executive's
covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 6 and the Company's
obligations under Section 3 will survive the expiration or termination of
Executive's employment.


         8.     MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

                  8.1     BINDING ON SUCCESSORS. This Agreement will be binding 
upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Executive and each of their
respective successors, assigns, personal and legal representatives, executors,
administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees, as applicable.

                  8.2     GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed,
construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of
the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict of law principles.

                  8.3     SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement that is
deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to that
jurisdiction be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof
in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provisions of this Agreement
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. If any covenant
should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope is
considered excessive, such covenant will be modified so that the scope of the
covenant is reduced only to the minimum extent necessary to render the modified
covenant valid, legal and enforceable.

                  8.4     NOTICES. For all purposes of this Agreement, all
communications, including without limitation notices, consents, requests or
approvals, required or permitted to be given hereunder must be in writing and
will be deemed to have been duly given when hand delivered or dispatched by
electronic facsimile transmission (with receipt thereof confirmed), or five
business days after having been mailed by United States registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or 


                                       6

three business days after having been sent by a nationally recognized overnight
courier service such as Federal Express, UPS or Purolator, addressed as follows,
or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in writing
and in accordance herewith, except that notices of changes of address will be
effective only upon receipt.

                           (i)      TO THE COMPANY. If to the Company, addressed
                                    to:

                           (ii)     TO THE EXECUTIVE. If to the Executive, to

                                    1209 Crest Lane
                                    McLean, Virginia 22101

                  8.5     COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in
several counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original, but all
of which together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

                  8.6     ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The terms of this Agreement are
intended by the parties to be the final expression of their agreement with
respect to the Executive's employment by the Company and may not be
contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement. The parties
further intend that this Agreement will constitute the complete and exclusive
statement of its terms and that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be
introduced in any judicial, administrative or other legal proceeding to vary
the terms of this Agreement. This agreement supersedes any and all prior
agreements applicable to the terms and conditions of Executive's employment
with any entity referred to herein.

                  8.7     AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. This Agreement may not be
modified, amended, or terminated except by an instrument in writing, approved
by the Company and signed by the Executive and the Company. Failure on the part
of either party to complain of any action or omission, breach or default on the
part of the other party, no matter how long the same may continue, will never be
deemed to be a waiver of any rights or remedies hereunder, at law or in equity.
The Executive or the Company may waive compliance by the other party with any
provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply
with or perform only through an executed writing; provided, however, that such
waiver will not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other
or subsequent failure.

                  8.8     NO INCONSISTENT ACTIONS. The parties will not
voluntarily undertake or fail to undertake any action or course of action that
is inconsistent with the provisions or essential intent of this Agreement.
Furthermore, it is the intent of the parties hereto to act in a fair and
reasonable manner with respect to the interpretation and application of the
provisions of this Agreement.

any options which he currently holds to purchase common stock of Banneker (the

                                                                      [TRW LOGO]

1998 - 2000 STRATEGIC INCENTIVE PROGRAM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.  THE RIGHT

This Right entitles you to receive performance units in the event that certain
financial goals are achieved with respect to the calendar years 1998 through
2000 (the "Performance Period").

2.  PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

The definition of the goals, for purposes of this Right, is set forth in Exhibit
A. The inclusion of the effects of unusual items in the calculations shall be at
the complete discretion of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the
Directors of TRW (the "Committee").

A goal scoring sheet for each of the three years in the Performance Period and
weighted award levels related to each of the goals is set forth in Exhibit B.

The Organic Sales goals will be adjusted to include sales attributable to
acquisitions as specified in the acquisition "buy plan." The Return on Sales
goals will be adjusted to reflect the inclusion of MPAT and sales attributable
to the acquisition as specified in the acquisition "buy plan."

3.  PAYMENT

Promptly following the availability of year-end financial information, the
number of performance units to be paid out will be determined by multiplying
33.0% of the target grant by the payout percent generated by the goal scoring
sheet for each of the first two years of participation in the Program and 34.0%
in the third year. Each performance unit will be converted into cash at the
average of the high and the low sales prices of a share of TRW Common on the New
York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions Listing on the day immediately prior
to the date of payment. This amount will be paid to you in the currency in which
you receive your compensation.

4.  TAXES

Upon any payment pursuant to this Right, TRW will deduct any withholding or
other taxes due.

5.  TRANSFERABILITY

This Right is not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.

6.  DEATH

In the event of your death, your estate or those so designated by will or the
laws of descent and distribution will be entitled to receive, at such times as
you would have received payment, such payment as would have been paid to you
hereunder if you had remained employed throughout the entire year in which your
death occurred and the following year of the Performance Period, if any.

7.  TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

This Right shall terminate on the date of your termination of employment and you
shall not be entitled to any additional payments hereunder except for any
payments with respect to calendar years prior to the calendar year of your
termination. However, if your employment is terminated during the last half of a
calendar year, and if the Committee gives written consent on or prior to the
date on which payments are to be made pursuant to this Right with respect to
such year, you will be entitled to receive such payments as would have been
issued to you hereunder if you remained employed through the end of the calendar
year during which your employment terminated multiplied by the fraction
representing the number of full months employed during such year.

8.  DISABILITY

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your termination of employment is due to
disability for a period of more than twelve months (as determined in accordance
with the TRW Long-Term Disability Plan), you will be entitled to receive such
payment as would have been issued to you hereunder if you had remained employed
for the entire year in which the disability occurred and the following year of
the Performance Period, if any.


<PAGE>   3



9.  ADJUSTMENTS

The Committee shall make such adjustments in the number and kind of grants
pursuant hereto as it may determine are equitably required to prevent dilution
or enlargement of your rights that would otherwise result from any stock
dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change
in the capital structure of TRW, merger, consolidation, reorganization, partial
or complete liquidation or other corporate transaction or event having an effect
similar to any of the foregoing.

10.  AMENDMENTS

In addition to the authority to make adjustments as provided in Section 9, the
Committee shall have the authority, until such time as a Change in Control as
defined in Section 11 occurs, to amend otherwise this grant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if you transfer positions or change responsibilities within TRW, the
Committee may amend this Right to reflect such changed circumstances; provided,
however, that any such amendment after a Change in Control occurs shall not
reduce the value of this Right to you.

11.  CHANGE IN CONTROL

In the event of a Change in Control of TRW, this Right will remain in effect so
long as you continue to be employed by TRW. For purposes of this Right, the
definition of Change in Control is the same as the definition contained in
resolutions adopted by the Committee on July 26, 1989. Such resolutions, in
summary, provide that a Change in Control is a change occurring (a) by virtue of
TRW's merger, consolidation or reorganization into or with, or transfer of
assets to, another corporation or (b) by virtue of a change in the majority of
the Directors during any two-year period unless the election of each new
Director was approved by a two-thirds vote of the Directors in office at the
beginning of such period or (c) through the acquisition of shares representing
20 percent or more of the voting power of TRW or (d) through any other change in
control reported in any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
excluding, however, the acquisition of shares, or any report of such
acquisition, by TRW, a subsidiary of TRW or a TRW-sponsored employee benefit
plan. The language in the resolutions controls over this summary language.

If a Change in Control occurs you will be entitled to receive any payment
issuable to you but not yet issued with respect to any completed calendar year
in the Performance Period preceding the Change in Control. In addition, with
respect to each of the remaining years in the Performance Period, you will be
entitled to receive payment equal to the number of units payable assuming
maximum performance on all goals. The aggregate number of units payable with
respect to the year of the Change in Control and subsequent years in the
Performance Period, determined in accordance with the precedence sentence, will
be issued to you promptly following the Change in Control.

12.  MISCELLANEOUS

This Right shall not be construed as giving you any right to continue in the
employ of TRW. Subject to the requirements and limitations in Sections 10 and 11
above, the Committee has authority to interpret and construe any provision of
this grant and any such interpretation and construction shall be binding and
conclusive. Except as provided in Section 11 above, no rights hereunder shall
accrue to you with respect to any year in the Performance Period until such year
is completed and the goals performance for such year has been approved as
provided in Section 3 above. Thereafter your rights will be limited to those
expressly given by this Right.

13.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Right sets forth the entire understanding between you and TRW with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, whether oral or written, relating hereto.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL 
CONDITION  |  TRW INC.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In virtually every dimension, 1997 was a very good year for TRW with the company
reporting record sales, earnings and earnings per share from continuing
operations, excluding an acquisition charge. TRW's strategic position was
further strengthened by the acquisitions of Magna International's air bag and
steering wheel operations and BDM International, Inc. (BDM).

Consolidated sales in 1997 of $10.8 billion represented a 10 percent increase
over 1996 sales of $9.9 billion. Compared to 1995 sales of $9.6 billion, 1997
sales increased 13 percent. Including a 1997 acquisition charge, TRW incurred a
net loss of $49 million in 1997, compared to net earnings of $480 million in
1996 and $446 million in 1995. Diluted loss per share in 1997 was $.40. Diluted
earnings per share were $3.62 in 1996 and $3.32 in 1995.

The above comparative results include the following items. The 1997 results
include a $548 million, $4.43 per share, one-time noncash earnings charge with
no income tax benefit related to in-process research and development associated
with the acquisition of BDM. The 1996 results included three special items: a
gain of $260 million after tax, $1.96 per share, related to the sale of the
company's information services business; special charges of $202 million after
tax, $1.52 per share, primarily for actions taken, in part, to enhance the
company's competitiveness and $50 million after tax, $.38 per share, of
impairment losses which were primarily a result of technological changes and the
decision to close certain facilities in the Automotive segment. Excluding these
items, earnings from continuing operations in 1997 were a record $499 million
compared to $434 million in 1996.

At December 31, 1997, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share." All share and per share amounts,
including those of prior years, have been restated to comply with the new
provisions. In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," both of which expand or
modify disclosures and, accordingly, will have no impact on the company's
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. These Statements are
effective for periods beginning after December 31, 1997, and will be adopted by
the company in the first and fourth quarters of 1998, respectively.

AUTOMOTIVE SEGMENT

Record sales of $7.03 billion in 1997 represented an 8 percent increase over
1996 sales of $6.49 billion. The higher sales resulted primarily from
acquisitions and higher volume in most product lines, partially offset by the
effect of a strong U.S. dollar and lower pricing. Excluding special charges in
1996, operating profit increased 4 percent to $631 million in 1997 from the $609
million reported in 1996. The increase in operating profit was due to
acquisitions and the effect of cost reduction efforts partially offset by the
effect of lower pricing and higher new product research and development costs,
the effect of a strong U.S. dollar and the economic weakness in the Asia Pacific
region.

Sales in 1996 rose to $6.49 billion from the 1995 sales level of $6.47 billion.
The increase in sales resulted primarily from higher volume in virtually all
product lines partially offset by lower pricing and the effect of a strong U.S.
dollar. Operating profit in 1996 was $319 million compared to $607 million in
1995. Included in 1996 operating profit was $290 million of special charges
relating to asset impairments and writedowns, consolidation of manufacturing
plants, severance, litigation and warranty expenses. Excluding these charges,
operating profit in 1996 was $609 million. The increase in operating profit was
primarily due to the effect of aggressive cost reductions and the introduction
of new inflator technologies which more than offset the effects of lower pricing
and new product development costs.

The company has invested and expects to continue to invest in areas of
significant potential growth, such as electrically assisted steering, smart
restraint systems, side-impact air bags, power rack and pinion steering and
advanced electronic components. TRW will continue to take advantage of
opportunities to enhance its global competitiveness through internal growth and
strategic alliances. To enhance our capabilities as a global systems supplier,
eight alliances, joint ventures and acquisitions in seven countries were
completed during 1997. In January 1998, the company acquired the remaining 20
percent of Magna International's air bag and steering wheel operations.

The company anticipates that 1998 North American automotive and light truck
production will be stable with the 1997 levels. We foresee modest production
growth in Western Europe, and strong growth in the emerging markets of Eastern
Europe. Recent economic conditions in the Asia Pacific region and South America
have had a negative impact on the company's operations. Uncertainty regarding
future economic conditions in these regions could result in continued negative
impacts in 1998 that are not expected to be material. Strong price pressure is
expected to continue across all product lines; however, productivity
improvements, facility rationalization, material cost reductions and the
introduction of new, lower cost technologies will be the main initiatives taken
to mitigate this pressure. We are well positioned to meet our customers' global
requirements with quality products and services and anticipate being awarded
significant new business.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL 
CONDITION  |  TRW INC.


SPACE, DEFENSE & INFORMATION SYSTEMS SEGMENT
Aided by new contract awards, sales in 1997 increased 13 percent to a record
$3.80 billion from the $3.36 billion reported in 1996. The sales increase marks
this segment's fourth consecutive year of sales growth. Excluding the 1997
acquisition charge and 1996 special charges, operating profit in 1997 increased
29 percent to $320 million from $247 million in 1996. The increases in sales and
operating profit were due to strong program performance.

Sales in 1996 increased 9 percent to $3.36 billion compared to $3.10 billion in
1995. Operating profit in 1996 was $157 million compared to $192 million in
1995. The lower operating profit was due primarily to the effect of program
reserves more than offsetting the profit from the higher sales volume. Included
in 1996 and 1995 operating profit were $90 million and $30 million,
respectively, of charges related primarily to contract reserves.

Government funding for all major TRW contracts appears to be stable, and the
company does not anticipate any unfavorable effect on operations relating to
program terminations or budget reallocations. The diversity of our programs
helps insulate the company from funding fluctuations on any given contract.
Additionally, the increase in civil, commercial and international contracts
further diversifies the segment's sales mix and positions it for growth in both
traditional and targeted markets. We remain focused on bidding and winning new
contracts and continuing to provide outstanding products and services to our
customers.

Backlog estimates at the end of 1997 totaled a record $6.03 billion, up 14
percent from $5.30 billion at the end of 1996. The backlog growth was driven by
a number of key program awards in both defense and nondefense related markets as
well as the effect of the BDM acquisition. Our reported backlog continues to
show strength with growth of 18 percent since 1995. Reported backlog at the end
of 1997 does not include $3.60 billion of negotiated and priced, but not
exercised, options for defense and nondefense programs. The exercise of the
options is at the discretion of the customer and, as in the case of government
contracts generally, dependent on future government funding.


ACQUISITIONS
On February 5, 1997, the company acquired an 80 percent equity interest in the
air bag and steering wheel businesses of Magna International for cash of $415
million plus assumed net debt of $50 million. The remaining 20 percent of Magna
International was acquired on January 30, 1998. On December 24, 1997, the
company acquired the shares of BDM for cash of $880 million plus assumed net
debt of $85 million. As part of the purchase price allocation, $548 million was
allocated to in-process research and development projects that had not reached
technological feasibility and have no alternative future use. This amount was
recognized as an expense with no tax benefit at the date of acquisition. See the
"Acquisitions" footnote in the Notes to Financial Statements for further
discussion of these acquisitions.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL 
CONDITION  |  TRW INC.


DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During 1996, the company sold its information services business for $1.1
billion. The sale resulted in a gain of $484 million ($260 million after tax, or
$1.96 per share). The proceeds from the sale were used to repay debt, fund
investment opportunities and acquire the company's common stock. The operating
results of the information services business and the related transaction gain
are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the
financial statements.


INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense in 1997 was $75 million compared to $84 million in 1996 and $95
million in 1995. The decrease in interest expense in 1997 was primarily due to
the absence of a 1996 special charge partially offset by higher average debt
levels. The decrease in interest expense from 1995 to 1996 was due to lower
average debt levels.


INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for continuing operations was 120.3 percent in 1997
compared to 39.6 percent in 1996 and 36.8 percent in 1995. Excluding the
in-process research and development charge, the 1997 effective tax rate would
have been 36.6 percent; thus, the lower effective rate in 1997 was attributable
to various federal and state tax incentives and the tax benefit from the
realignment of certain foreign operations. The higher effective tax rate from
1995 to 1996 was primarily due to the absence of a tax benefit for certain of
the special charges taken during 1996.


INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
International sales were $4.37 billion, or 40 percent of TRW sales, in 1997;
$3.94 billion, or 40 percent of sales in 1996; and $3.92 billion, or 41 percent
of sales in 1995. U.S. export sales included in those amounts were $732 million
in 1997, $764 million in 1996 and $813 million in 1995. Most of TRW's non-U.S.
operations are included in the Automotive segment and are located in Europe,
Canada, Brazil and the Asia Pacific region. TRW's non-U.S. operations are
subject to the usual risks that may affect such operations; however, most of the
assets of its non-U.S. operations are in countries where the company believes
such risks to be minimal.


LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Cash flow from operations in 1997 of $954 million and additional borrowings of
$936 million were used primarily for acquisitions of $1,270 million, capital
expenditures of $549 million, acquisition of common stock of $247 million and
dividend payments of $154 million. Net debt at December 31, 1997, was $1,586
million compared to $196 million at the end of 1996. The ratio of net debt
(short-term debt, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt less cash
and cash equivalents) to total capital (net debt, minority interests and
shareholders' investment) was 47.8 percent at December 31, 1997, compared to 8
percent at December 31, 1996. The percentage of fixed-rate debt to total debt
was 32 percent at the end of 1997.

During 1997, 4.6 million shares of TRW common stock were repurchased for $247
million, of which $5 million was settled in January 1998. The company purchased
7.9 million shares in 1996. Pursuant to an authorization of TRW's Directors for
the acquisition of up to 20 million shares, the company may acquire up to an
additional 7.5 million shares of common stock. The company plans to purchase the
additional shares from time to time, but at a reduced volume from prior years.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL 
CONDITION  |  TRW INC.


Capital expenditures were $549 million in 1997, $500 million in 1996 and $466
million in 1995. The company will maintain a capital program with estimated
capital expenditures for 1998 totaling about $625 million. Approximately
two-thirds of these expenditures will be invested in the Automotive segment and
one-third in the Space, Defense & Information Systems segment. The company will
continue to invest in its automotive growth businesses, including electrically
assisted steering, smart restraint systems, side-impact air bags, power rack and
pinion steering and advanced electronic components. Space, Defense & Information
Systems expenditures will be used to support major new contract awards and our
existing business base as well as to support research and development of next
generation technologies.

During the fourth quarter of 1998, approximately $250 million of deferred tax
liabilities related to the closure of certain long-term contracts will be paid.

During 1998, the company acquired 1.5 million shares, or approximately 7 percent
of the outstanding shares, of ICO Global Communications (Holdings) Limited for
approximately $50 million. The company and ICO also cross-licensed certain
patent rights related to their proposed global telecommunications systems and
dismissed legal proceedings related to the patents. As part of the patent
litigation settlement, ICO paid TRW $25 million in January 1998 and will pay an
additional $25 million by mid-1999. The company has discontinued efforts related
to its Odyssey project, a satellite-based personal communications system.

TRW's non-U.S. operations are generally financed by borrowings from banks or
through intercompany loans in the local currency of the borrower and by equity
capital invested by TRW and minority shareholders. There are no significant
restrictions on the remittance of funds by the company's non-U.S. subsidiaries
to the United States. A discussion of TRW's credit facilities is contained in
the "Debt and Credit Agreements" footnote in the Notes to Financial Statements.

The company is subject to inherent risks attributed to operating in a global
economy. It is the company's policy to utilize derivative financial instruments
to manage its interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks. The
company uses derivatives to hedge its exposure to short-term interest rate
changes as a lower cost substitute for the issuance of fixed-rate debt. The
company manages cash flow transactional foreign exchange risk pursuant to a
written corporate policy. Forward contracts and, to a lesser extent, options are
utilized to protect the company's cash flow from adverse movements in exchange
rates. The company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the other party to the derivative financial instruments. The company limits this
exposure by entering into agreements with a number of major financial
institutions that meet the minimum credit standards established by TRW and that
are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. Derivative
financial instruments are viewed by the company as a risk management tool and
are not used for speculative or trading purposes.

Based on the company's overall interest rate exposure at December 31, 1997,
including derivative interest rate instruments, a one-percentage-point increase
in the average interest rate on the company's variable rate borrowings would not
materially affect the results of operations of the company. Based on the
company's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk resulting from
derivative foreign currency instruments outstanding at December 31, 1997, a 10
percent uniform strengthening in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the
currencies in which those derivative foreign currency instruments are
denominated would not materially affect the results of operations of the
company. The company's sensitivity analyses of the effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates do not reflect the effect of such changes on the related
hedged transactions or on other operating transactions. The company's
sensitivity analyses of the effects of changes in interest rates and foreign
currency exchange rates do not factor in a potential change in the level of
variable rate borrowings or derivative instruments outstanding that could take
place if these hypothetical conditions prevailed.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL 
CONDITION  |  TRW INC.


We believe the company's current financial position and financing arrangements
allow flexibility in worldwide financing activities and permit us to respond to
changing conditions in credit markets. The existing arrangements are not
indicative of the company's potential borrowing capacity. We believe that funds
generated from operations and existing borrowing capacity are adequate to fund
the current share repurchase program and finance planned growth, capital
expenditures, working capital including tax requirements, company-sponsored
research and development programs and dividend payments to shareholders.


OTHER MATTERS
Federal, state and local requirements relating to the discharge of materials
into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the
environment, have had and will continue to have an effect on TRW and its
operations. The company is conducting a number of environmental investigations
and remedial actions at current and former company locations and, along with
other companies, has been named a potentially responsible party for certain
waste management sites. Each of these matters is subject to various
uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved
unfavorably to the company. During 1997, TRW Vehicle Safety Systems, a wholly
owned subsidiary of the company, reported to the Arizona Department of
Environmental Quality (ADEQ) potential violations of the Arizona hazardous waste
law at its Queen Creek, Arizona facility for the possible failure to properly
label and dispose of waste water that might be classified as hazardous waste. If
ADEQ initiates proceedings against the company with respect to such matters, the
company could be liable for penalties and fines and other relief. Management is
currently evaluating this matter and is unable to make a meaningful estimate of
the amount or range of possible liability, if any, at this time.

During 1996, the company was advised by the Department of Justice (DOJ) that it
had been named as a defendant in two lawsuits brought by a former employee and
filed under seal in 1994 and 1995, respectively, in the United States District
Court for the Central District of California under the QUI TAM provisions of the
civil False Claims Act. The company cannot presently predict the outcome of
these matters, although management believes that the company has meritorious
defenses.

Refer to the "Contingencies" footnote in the Notes to Financial Statements for
further discussion of these matters.

TRW has a companywide program for Year 2000 compliance for its products and
services, internal systems, customers and suppliers. The company anticipates
that the program plan, including remediation and validation, will be completed
in 1999 and that the cost of becoming Year 2000 compliant will not have a
material effect on the company's future financial results or financial position.
The date of completion and the costs of the project are based on management's
estimates, which were derived utilizing assumptions of future events, including
the availability of certain resources, third-party modification plans and other
factors.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking
statements, which involve risks and uncertainties that could affect the
company's actual results. Information regarding the important factors that could
cause TRW's actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements contained in this report can be found in TRW's reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including TRW's Form 8-K filed on May 20,
1997.

MANAGEMENT & AUDITORS' REPORT  |  TRW INC.


REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
Management of TRW is responsible for the preparation of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries. The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and include the estimates and judgments of management. The
financial statements have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent

the company's internal auditors as well as by the independent auditors in
connection with their annual audit.

TRW has an audit committee composed of four directors who are not members of
management. The committee meets regularly with management, the internal auditors
and the independent auditors in connection with its review of matters relating
to the company's financial statements, the company's internal audit program, the
company's system of internal accounting controls and the services of the
independent auditors. The committee also meets with the internal auditors as
well as the independent auditors, without management present, to discuss
appropriate matters. The committee also recommends to the directors the
designation of the independent auditors.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS 
Shareholders and Directors, TRW Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TRW Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of earnings, cash flows and changes in shareholders' investment for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of TRW Inc. and
subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  |  TRW INC.


SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION-The financial statements include the accounts of the
company and its subsidiaries except for two insurance subsidiaries. The wholly
owned insurance subsidiaries and the majority of investments in affiliated
companies, which are not significant individually, are accounted for by the
equity method.

USE OF ESTIMATES-The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively, and reported amounts of sales and expenses for the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

LONG-TERM CONTRACTS - The percentage-of-completion (cost-to-cost) method is used
to estimate sales under fixed-price and fixed-price incentive contracts. Sales
under cost-reimbursement contracts are recorded as costs are incurred. Fees
based on cost, award fees and incentive fees are included in sales at the time
such amounts are reasonably estimable. Losses on contracts are recognized when
determinable.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - Accounts receivable at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
included $698 million and $547 million, respectively, related to long-term
contracts, of which $209 million and $257 million, respectively, were unbilled.
Unbilled costs, fees and claims represent revenues earned and billable in the
following month as well as revenues earned but not billable under terms of the
contracts. A substantial portion of such amounts is expected to be billed during
the following year. Retainage receivables and receivables subject to negotiation
are not significant.

INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, principally the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market. Inventories applicable to
long-term contracts are not significant.

DEPRECIATION - Depreciation is computed over the assets' estimated useful lives
using the straight-line method for the majority of the company's depreciable
assets. The remaining assets are depreciated using accelerated methods.

ASSET IMPAIRMENT - The company records impairment losses on long-lived assets
used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be
impaired and the undiscounted net cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than their carrying amounts.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS - Intangible assets are stated on the basis of cost.
Intangibles arising from acquisitions prior to 1971 ($49 million) are not being
amortized because there is no indication of diminished value. Intangibles
arising from acquisitions after 1970 are being amortized by the straight-line
method principally over 40 years. The carrying value of intangible assets is
assessed for impairment on a quarterly basis.

FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACTS - The company enters into forward exchange contracts
the majority of which hedge firm foreign currency commitments and certain
intercompany transactions. At December 31, 1997, the company had contracts
outstanding amounting to approximately $186 million denominated principally in
the Canadian dollar, the U.S. dollar, the German mark, the British pound and the
European

currency unit, maturing at various dates through December 1998. Changes
in market value of the contracts are generally included in the basis of the
transactions. Foreign exchange contracts are placed with a number of major
financial institutions to minimize credit risk. No collateral is held in
relation to the contracts, and the company anticipates that these financial
institutions will satisfy their obligations under the contracts.

</TABLE>


The fair value of long-term debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow
analysis, based on the company's current borrowing rates for similar types of
borrowing arrangements. The fair value of interest rate hedges and forward
currency exchange contracts is estimated based on quoted market prices of
offsetting contracts.

ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS - TRW participates in environmental assessments and remedial
efforts at operating facilities, previously owned or operated facilities, and
Superfund or other waste sites. Costs related to these locations are accrued
when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of that
liability can be reasonably estimated. Estimated costs are recorded at
undiscounted amounts based on experience and assessments and are regularly
evaluated as efforts proceed. Insurance recoveries are recorded as a reduction
of environmental costs when fixed and determinable.

EARNINGS PER SHARE - In 1997, TRW adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share."
Statement 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per
share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per
share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options and
convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is similar to the previously
reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for
all periods presented have been restated to conform to Statement 128
requirements. The effects of preferred stock dividends, convertible preferred
stock and employee stock options were excluded from the calculation of 1997
diluted earnings per share as they would have been antidilutive.

ACQUISITIONS
On February 5, 1997, the company acquired an 80 percent equity interest in the
air bag and steering wheel businesses of Magna International for cash of $415
million plus assumed net debt of $50 million. These businesses supply air bag
modules, inflators, propellants, steering wheels and other related automotive
components. The results of operations have been included in the financial
statements from the date of acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for by
the purchase method; accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the
net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values and to costs for
certain restructuring actions to be completed in 1998. The purchase price in
excess of the net assets is $276 million and is being amortized over 40 years.

On December 24, 1997, the company acquired the shares of BDM International, Inc.
(BDM) for cash of $880 million plus assumed net debt of $85 million. BDM is an
information technology company operating in the systems and software
integration, computer and technical services and enterprise management and
operations markets. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method,
with the purchase price tentatively allocated to the net assets acquired based
on their fair values. An independent valuation was performed primarily using the
income approach for valuing the intangible assets. As a result of the valuation,
$548 million was allocated to in-process research and development projects that
had not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future use.
This amount was recognized as an expense with no tax benefit at the date of
acquisition. The intangible assets of $306 million will be amortized over an
average period of 15 years.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the
consolidated results of operations of the company as if the acquisitions had
taken place at the beginning of the respective periods. The pro forma
information includes adjustments for interest expense that would have been
incurred to finance the acquisitions, additional depreciation based on the fair
market value of the property, plant and equipment acquired, write-off of
purchased in-process research and development and the amortization of intangible
assets arising from the transactions. The pro forma financial information is not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had
the transactions been affected on the assumed dates.

DIVESTITURE AND SPECIAL CHARGES
During 1996, the company sold substantially all of the businesses in its
Information Systems & Services segment. The financial statements reflect as
discontinued operations for all periods presented that segment's net assets and
operating results, as well as the related transaction gain.

Net proceeds of $1.1 billion in cash resulted in a gain of $484 million ($260
million after tax, or $1.96 per share). Sales of the discontinued operations
were $453 million and $604 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

During 1996, the company recorded before-tax charges of $385 million ($252
million after tax, or $1.90 per share) primarily for actions taken in the
automotive and space, defense and information systems businesses. The components
of the charge include severance costs of $40 million, contract reserves of $99
million, litigation and warranty expenses of $127 million, asset writedowns of
$96 million, and other items of $23 million. Cash expenditures related to the
severance costs were substantially completed during 1997.

The charges are included in the Statements of Earnings for 1996 as follows: $321
million included in cost of sales; $18 million included in interest expense; $65
million included in other expense (income)-net; and a reduction of $19 million
included in other captions. For balance sheet purposes, other accruals in 1997
and 1996 include $96 million and $225 million, respectively, relating to these
charges.

</TABLE>


The effective tax rate in 1997 was 120.3 percent compared to 39.6 percent in
1996. Excluding the write-off of purchased in-process research and development,
the effective tax rate would have been 36.6 percent.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. At December 31, 1997 and
1996, the company had unused tax benefits of $30 million and $23 million,
respectively, related to non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards for income
tax purposes, of which $13 million and $18 million can be carried forward
indefinitely and the balance expires at various dates through 2004. A valuation
allowance at December 31, 1997 and 1996, of $25 million and $20 million,
respectively, has been recognized to offset the related deferred tax assets due
to the uncertainty of realizing the benefit of the loss carryforwards.

It is the company's intention to reinvest undistributed earnings of certain of
its non-U.S. subsidiaries and thereby indefinitely postpone their remittance.
Accordingly, deferred income taxes have not been provided for accumulated
undistributed earnings of $451 million at December 31, 1997.

</TABLE>

PENSION PLANS
The company has defined benefit pension plans (generally noncontributory except
for those in the United Kingdom) for substantially all employees. Plans for most
salaried employees provide pay-related benefits based on years of service. Plans
for hourly employees generally provide benefits based on flat-dollar amounts and
years of service.

Under the company's funding policy, annual contributions are made to fund the
plans during the participants' working lifetimes, except for unfunded plans in
Germany and certain non-qualified plans in the United States which are funded as
benefits are paid to participants. Annual contributions to funded plans have met
or exceeded ERISA's minimum funding requirements or amounts required by local
law or custom.

The company sponsors a contributory stock ownership and savings plan for which a
majority of its U.S. employees are eligible. The company matches employee
contributions up to 3 percent of the participant's qualified compensation. The
company contributions are held in an unleveraged employee stock ownership plan.
The company also sponsors other defined contribution pension plans covering
employees at some of its operations.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for U.S. plans was 9
percent for 1997, 1996 and 1995. For non-U.S. plans, the expected long-term rate
of return ranged from 7 percent to 9-1/2 percent in 1997, 7 percent to 9-3/4
percent in 1996, and 7 percent to 9-1/2 percent in 1995.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
The company provides health care and life insurance benefits for a majority of
its retired employees in the United States and Canada. The health care plans
provide for cost sharing, in the form of employee contributions, deductibles and
coinsurance, between the company and its retirees. The postretirement health
care plan covering a majority of employees who retired since August 1, 1988,
limits the annual increase in the company's contribution toward the plan's cost
to a maximum of the lesser of 50 percent of medical inflation or 4 percent. Life
insurance benefits are generally noncontributory. The company's policy is to
fund the cost of postretirement health care and life insurance benefits in
amounts determined at the discretion of management. Retirees in certain other
countries are provided similar benefits by plans sponsored by their governments.

</TABLE>


The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, was 7 percent and 7-1/2 percent,
respectively. At December 31, 1997, the 1998 annual rate of increase in the per
capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed to be 8 percent for all
participants. The rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5 percent in the
year 2009 and remain at that level thereafter. At December 31, 1996, the 1997
annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of health care benefits was
assumed to be 9 percent for participants under age 65 and 8 percent for
participants age 65 or older. The rates were assumed to decrease gradually to 6
percent and 5 percent, respectively, in the year 2009 and remain at that level
thereafter. A one percent annual increase in these assumed cost trend rates
would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31,
1997, by approximately 14 percent and the aggregate of the service and interest
cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1997 by
approximately 14 percent. The weighted average expected long-term rate of return
on plan assets was 8 percent for 1997, 1996 and 1995. The trust holding the
majority of the plan assets is not subject to federal income taxes.

TRW maintains two committed U.S. revolving credit agreements. The first
agreement allows the company to borrow up to $750 million with 17 banks and
extends through June 2002. The second agreement allows the company to borrow up
to $750 million with 15 banks and extends to December 8, 1998. The interest rate
under the agreements is either a negotiated rate, the banks' prime rates, a rate
based on the banks' costs of funds in the secondary certificate of deposit
market or a rate based on an Interbank Offered Rate. TRW's commercial paper
borrowings are supported by these agreements. At December 31, 1997, there were
$60 million and $65 million in outstanding borrowings under the U.S. revolving
credit agreements, respectively. At December 31, 1997, $600 million of
short-term U.S. borrowings were reclassified as long-term debt as the company
intended to refinance these borrowings on a long-term basis and has the ability
to do so under its U.S. revolving credit agreements. In January 1998, the
company issued $500 million of notes and debentures which mature at various
dates through 2028.

The company also maintains a committed multi-currency revolving credit agreement
with 17 banks. The agreement allows the company to borrow up to $250 million and
extends through June 2002. The interest rate under the agreement is based on
various interest rate indices. At December 31, 1997, there were no outstanding
borrowings under the multi-currency credit agreement.

On December 24, 1997, the company acquired the shares of BDM International. BDM
maintained a committed multi-currency revolving credit agreement with six banks.
At December 31, 1997, there were $91 million in outstanding borrowings under the
BDM committed multi-currency revolving credit agreement. The borrowings were
paid and the credit agreement was terminated in January 1998.

As of December 31, 1997, the company has interest rate swap agreements for
notional borrowings of $28 million in which the company pays a fixed rate and
receives a floating rate. The weighted average pay rate and receive rate under
these agreements is 6.2 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively. These agreements
mature at various dates through 1998. The floating rates under the interest rate
swap agreements are based on LIBOR rates and have been calculated using these
rates at December 31, 1997. Net payments or receipts under the agreements are
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. The agreements were entered
into with a major financial institution, and the company anticipates that the
financial institution will satisfy its obligations under the agreements. No
collateral is held in relation to the agreements.

The weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings outstanding,
including amounts reclassified to long-term debt, at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
is 6.4 percent and 9.9 percent, respectively.

The other medium-term notes bear interest at rates ranging from 5.98 percent to
9.25 percent and mature at various dates through 2020.

Long-term non-U.S. borrowings bear interest, stated in terms of the local
currency borrowing, at rates ranging from 3.6 percent to 9.48 percent at
December 31, 1997, and mature at various dates through 2005.

The maturities of long-term debt are, in millions: 1998-$128; 1999-$37;
2000-$12; 2001-$33; 2002-$602; and $433 thereafter.

The indentures and other debt agreements impose, among other covenants,
restrictions on funded debt and maintenance of minimum net worth. Under the most
restrictive interpretation of these covenants, the payment of dividends was
limited to approximately $729 million at December 31, 1997.

Compensating balance arrangements and commitment fees were not material.

LEASE COMMITMENTS
TRW leases certain offices, manufacturing and research buildings, machinery,
automobiles and data processing and other equipment. Such leases, some of which
are noncancelable and in many cases include renewals, expire at various dates.
The company pays most maintenance, insurance and tax expenses relating to leased
assets. Rental expense for operating leases was $146 million for 1997, $130
million for 1996 and $124 million for 1995.

At December 31, 1997, the future minimum lease payments for noncancelable
operating leases totaled $372 million and are payable as follows: 1998-$103;
1999-$79; 2000-$53; 2001-$34; 2002-$26; and $77 thereafter.

TRW has a shareholder purchase rights plan under which each shareholder of
record as of May 17, 1996, received one-half of one right for each TRW common
share held. Each right entitles the holder, upon the occurrence of certain
events, to buy one one-hundredth of a share of Cumulative Redeemable Serial
Preference Stock II, Series 4, at a price of $300. In other events, each right
entitles the holder, other than the acquiring party, to purchase $600 of TRW
common stock or common stock of another person at a 50 percent discount. The
company may redeem these rights at its option at one cent per right under
certain circumstances.

At December 31, 1997, 15.8 million shares of common stock were reserved for the
exercise and issuance of stock options and conversion of the Serial Preference

STOCK OPTIONS
TRW has granted nonqualified stock options to certain employees to purchase the

granted become exercisable to the extent of one-third of the optioned shares for
each full year of employment following the date of grant and expire 10 years
after the date of grant. The company applies the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its employee stock options
and, as such, no compensation expense is recognized as the exercise price equals
the market price of the stock on the date of grant.

</TABLE>

At December 31, 1997, approximately 1,100 employees were participants in the
plan. As of that date, the per share exercise prices of options outstanding
ranged from $19.88 to $58.88. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of
those options is approximately six years.

Had the compensation cost for the stock options granted in 1997, 1996 and 1995
been determined based on the fair value at the grant date consistent with the
fair value method of SFAS No. 123, the company's net earnings and earnings per
share would have been reduced by $9 million ($.08 per share) in 1997, $5 million
($.04 per share) in 1996 and $2 million ($.02 per share) in 1995. The effect on
1996 and 1995 net earnings may not be representative of the effect on future
years' net earnings amounts as the compensation cost reflects expense for only
two years' vesting in 1996 and one year's vesting in 1995.

Fair value was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions for 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively: risk-free interest rate of 5.83%, 5.43% and 7.44%; dividend
yield of 2.54%, 2.84% and 2.80%; expected volatility of 20%, 20% and 19%; and an
expected option life of six years for 1997, 1996 and 1995.

TRW grants performance share rights to certain employees under which the
employees are entitled to receive shares of the company's common stock based on
the achievement of a certain return on assets employed. The rights specify a
target number of shares which the employee would receive for each year that
goals for returns on assets employed are met. If the goals are exceeded, the
employee could receive up to 200 percent of the target shares, with the excess
over 100 percent payable in cash, unless the Compensation and Stock Option
Committee of TRW's Directors determines to pay the excess in shares. If the
goals are not met, the employee would receive fewer than the target shares or no
shares. The target number of performance share rights granted to employees and
still outstanding were .2 million and .4 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

CONTINGENCIES
The company is subject to various investigations, claims and legal proceedings
covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its
business activities. In addition, the company is conducting a number of
environmental investigations and remedial actions at current and former company
locations and, along with other companies, has been named a potentially
responsible party for certain waste management sites. Each of these matters is
subject to various uncertainties, and some of these matters may be resolved
unfavorably to the company. A reserve estimate for each matter is established
using standard engineering cost estimating techniques. In the determination of
such costs, consideration is given to professional judgment of company
environmental engineers in consultation with outside environmental specialists
when necessary. At multi party sites, the reserve estimate also reflects the
expected allocation of total project costs among the various potentially
responsible parties. At December 31, 1997, the company had reserves for
environmental matters of $71 million, including $6 million of additional
accruals recorded during the year. The company aggressively pursues
reimbursement for environmental costs from its insurance carriers. However,
insurance recoveries are not recorded as a reduction of environmental costs
until they are fixed and determinable. At December 31, 1997, the "Other assets"
caption on the balance sheet includes $30 million of insurance recoveries
related to environmental matters. The company believes that any liability that
may result from the resolution of environmental matters for which sufficient
information is available to support these cost estimates will not have a
material adverse effect on the company's financial position. However, the
company cannot predict the effect on the company's financial position of
expenditures for aspects of certain matters for which there is insufficient
information. In addition, the company cannot predict the effect of compliance
with environmental laws and regulations with respect to unknown environmental
matters on the company's financial position or the possible effect of compliance
with environmental requirements imposed in the future.

Further, product liability claims may be asserted in the future for events not
currently known by management. Although the ultimate liability from these
potential claims cannot be ascertained at December 31, 1997, management does not
anticipate that any related liability, after consideration of insurance
recovery, would have a material adverse effect on the company's financial
position.

During 1997, TRW Vehicle Safety Systems Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the
company, reported to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ)
potential violations of the Arizona hazardous waste law at its Queen Creek,
Arizona facility for the possible failure to properly label and dispose of waste
water that might be classified as hazardous waste. ADEQ is conducting an
investigation into these potential violations, and the company is cooperating
with the investigation. If ADEQ initiates proceedings against the company with
respect to such matters, the company could be liable for penalties and fines and
other relief. The company has been apprised by state and federal officials that
there are ongoing civil and criminal investigations with respect to these
potential violations. Management is currently evaluating this matter and is
unable to make a meaningful estimate of the amount or range of possible
liability, if any, at this time.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  |  TRW INC.


During 1996, the company was advised by the Department of Justice (DOJ) that it
had been named as a defendant in two lawsuits brought by a former employee and
filed under seal in 1994 and 1995, respectively, in the United States District
Court for the Central District of California under the QUI TAM provisions of the
civil False Claims Act. The Act permits an individual to bring suit in the name
of the United States and share in any recovery. The allegations in the lawsuits
relate to the classification of costs incurred by the company that were charged
to certain of its federal contracts. Under the law, the government must
investigate the allegations and determine whether it wishes to intervene and
take responsibility for the lawsuits. On February 19, 1998, the DOJ intervened
in the litigation with respect to a limited number of the allegations. The
company cannot presently predict the outcome of these matters, although
management believes that the company has meritorious defenses.

                         Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Administration
The TRW Employee Stock Ownership and
   Stock Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of The TRW Employee Stock Ownership and Stock Savings Plan as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of The TRW Employee
Stock Ownership and Stock Savings Plan as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of
assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1997, and the schedule of
reportable transactions for the year then ended are presented for purposes of
complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements. The Fund Information in
the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes
in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and
changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. The supplemental
schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the 1997 financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 1997 basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

             The TRW Employee Stock Ownership and Stock Savings Plan

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1997


A.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

TRW STOCK FUND

Investments in the TRW Stock Fund consist primarily of TRW Inc. (TRW) common
stock, which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange and valued at the last
reported sales price on the last business day of the fiscal year.

EQUITY FUND

Investments in the Equity Fund are valued at the redemption price established by
the Trustee, which is based on the fair value of the Bankers Trust Pyramid
Equity Index Fund assets. This Fund is constructed and maintained with the
objective of providing investment results which approximate the overall
performance of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 stocks. Income is
accumulated and reinvested in the Fund and included in the determination of unit
values. As of December 31, 1997, shares of the Bankers Trust Pyramid Equity
Index fund were sold and the underlying securities were purchased in
anticipation of the asset transfer to Putnam Investments (see Note H).

INSURED RETURN FUND

The Insured Return Fund consists of fully benefit responsive investment
contracts with insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions and
short-term investment funds. Benefit responsive contracts provide contract value
payments for participant disbursements, loans and investment transfers as
allowed under the plan. There are exceptions for payments to participants who,
as a result of a corporate event, cease to be employed by TRW. A corporate event
includes a divestiture of an operating unit (for example, a subsidiary or a
division), a significant special early retirement program or other corporate
action that could be construed as causing increased Plan payments to
participants.

Investment contracts provide a stated rate of interest on principal for a stated
period of time. All investment contracts are accounted for at contract value
because they are fully benefit responsive. In accordance with Statement of
Position 94-4, which the Plan adopted effective January 1, 1995, contract value
equals fair value because no event has occurred that affects the value of any
contracts. The investment contracts are of three types: general account,
separate account, and synthetic investment contracts. Investment contracts in
the general account of an insurance company where assets are not specifically
identifiable have fixed rates of interest or an indexed rate of interest for the
life of the contract. Investment contracts in separate accounts of an insurance
company have underlying assets that are specifically identifiable and held for
the benefit of the Plan.

             The TRW Employee Stock Ownership and Stock Savings Plan

                    Notes to Financial Statements--Continued

A.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED

Under synthetic investment contracts, the Plan owns assets with an investment
contract from an insurance company, bank or other financial institution
surrounding the asset. Both separate account and synthetic contracts have
periodic interest rate resets (monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually) based on
the performance of the underlying assets. All separate account and synthetic
contracts have a guaranteed return of principal. As of December 31, 1997 and
1996, approximately $60 and $107 million was invested in general account assets,
$141 and $138 million in separate account assets, and $274 and $249 million in
assets owned by the Plan, respectively.

The weighted average yield (excluding administrative expenses) for all
investment contracts was 6.77% in 1997 and 1996. The crediting interest rate for
all investment contracts was 6.69% at December 31, 1997 and 6.79% at December
31, 1996.

SMALL COMPANY FUND

Investments in the Small Company Equity Fund are valued at the redemption price
established by the Trustee, which is based on the fair value of the Bankers
Trust Pyramid Russell 2500 Index Fund assets. The Small Company Equity Fund is
constructed and maintained with the objective of providing investment results
which approximate the overall performance of the 2,500 common stocks included in
the Russell 2500 Equity Index. Income is accumulated and reinvested in the Fund
and included in the determination of unit values. As of December 31, 1997,
shares of the Bankers Trust Pyramid Russell 2500 Index fund were sold and the
underlying securities were purchased in anticipation of the asset transfer to
Putnam Investments (see Note H).

BOND INDEX FUND

Investments in the Bond Index Fund are valued at the redemption price
established by the Trustee, which is based on the fair value of the Bankers
Trust Pyramid Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index Fund. The Bankers
Trust Pyramid Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index Fund is constructed
and maintained with the objective of providing investment results which
approximate the overall performance of the high quality U.S. government and
corporate bonds included in the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Index.
Income is accumulated and reinvested in the fund and included in the
determination of unit values.

OTHER

The cost of securities sold is determined by the average cost method for
purposes of determining realized gains and losses.

             The TRW Employee Stock Ownership and Stock Savings Plan

                    Notes to Financial Statements--Continued

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain amounts in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to
conform with current year presentation.

On October 23, 1996, TRW's Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock
split, effected in the form of a stock dividend, to shareholders of record as of
November 8, 1996. A total of 10,463,851 additional shares were issued to the
Plan in conjunction with the stock dividend. All historical share amounts have
been restated to reflect retroactively the stock dividend.

             The TRW Employee Stock Ownership and Stock Savings Plan

                    Notes to Financial Statements--Continued

B.     DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Plan is a defined contribution plan, and is comprised of the TRW Stock Fund,
Equity Fund, Insured Return Fund, Small Company Equity Fund and Bond Index Fund
(the Funds). Participation in the Plan is available to substantially all
domestic employees of TRW who have been employed for at least three months.
Prior to April 1, 1996, participants had to be employed for at least twelve
months to be eligible for participation in the Plan. The Plan is governed by the
Internal Revenue Code and related legislation.

PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS

The Plan allows eligible employees to contribute up to 16% of qualifying
compensation on a before-tax basis by way of salary reduction; such
contributions are made in increments of one-tenth of one percent of qualifying
compensation and could not exceed $9,500 in 1997 and $9,500 in 1996.
Participants may also elect to contribute, in increments of one percent, up to
10% of qualifying compensation on an after-tax basis. Participants can make up
to two contribution percentage changes per month. Annual contributions to a
participant's account (including before-tax, after-tax and TRW matching
contributions) and to any other defined contribution plan is limited to the
lesser of $30,000 or 25% of the participant's annual compensation reduced by the
amount of before-tax contributions.

Participants determine the funds in which to invest their contributions.
Employee contributions may be invested, in multiples of 10% percent, in one or
more of the five investment funds. Fund elections may be changed at any time.

TRW CONTRIBUTIONS

TRW contributes to the Plan, out of current or accumulated earnings, an amount
equal to 100% of each participant's before-tax contributions without exceeding
three percent of the participant's qualifying compensation. Participants
immediately vest in the TRW contributions. All TRW matching contributions are
invested in the ESOP portion of the TRW Stock Fund. TRW contributions always
remain in the TRW Stock Fund and may not be transferred. TRW contributions may
be in the form of cash or treasury or authorized and unissued shares of TRW
Common Stock. TRW Common Stock contributed is to be valued by any reasonable
method selected by TRW.

WITHDRAWALS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Upon termination of employment, a participant may elect to receive his or her
account, less the unpaid balance of any loan outstanding, in a single sum except
a participant whose account balance exceeds $3,500 may defer such payments until
he or she reaches age 70. Generally, distributions from the TRW Stock Fund will
be paid only in whole shares of TRW Common Stock with the balance in cash.
Participants who have less than 100 shares of TRW stock receive the value of
their shares in cash unless they elect to receive shares.

If a participant elects to defer payment of his or her account, the
undistributed account balance remains invested in the Plan. The following is the
total value of the accounts subject to deferred elections (8,484 as of December
31, 1997 and 8,144 as of December 31, 1996) that are included in the net assets
of the funds:

             The TRW Employee Stock Ownership and Stock Savings Plan

                    Notes to Financial Statements--Continued


B.     DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN--CONTINUED

Effective January 1, 1988, participants who have attained age 55 as of the end
of the preceding fiscal year-end and commenced participation in the Plan at
least ten years prior may elect, within an election period during each of the
succeeding five consecutive plan years, to receive a special ESOP distribution.
The amount eligible for this special distribution is 50% of the prior fiscal
year-end value (including previous withdrawals) of TRW Common Stock acquired for
the participant's account by the ESOP since 1986, reduced by any previous
withdrawals.

PARTICIPANT LOANS

Participants can borrow from $1,000 to $50,000 (in increments of $100) of their
before-tax contributions, but such borrowings cannot exceed 50% of a
participant's total Plan balance. The interest rate is fixed (prime rate at the
end of the second to last business day of the quarter plus one percent) and the
repayment period cannot be less than one year or more than five years.

OTHER

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, TRW reserves the right to
suspend or terminate the Plan. In the event of termination, the amount of each
participant's account may be retained in trust for the benefit of the
participant.

The above description of the Plan provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description, which is available
from the Stock Savings Plan's Participant Service Center, and annual prospectus
for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

requirements, the realized and unrealized gains (losses) are not available at
the date of the Report of Independent Auditors. A separate schedule will be
included in the Form 5500 when filed.

D.     ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Generally, salaries and wages of the administrative staff are paid by TRW.
Expenses relating to investment advisor fees, management fees, trustee fees,
audit fees, printing and postage are paid from Plan assets. Expenses directly
attributable to any one fund are charged to that fund. Expenses not directly
attributable to any one fund are allocated to each fund in the proportion that
the market value of the assets of each fund bears to the total market value of
all Plan assets. Brokerage fees and commissions incident to the purchase or sale
of securities are paid by the fund in which they are incurred and are included
in the cost of securities purchased or sold.

E.     FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN

The Plan is exempt from federal income taxes as a qualified profit sharing plan.
The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service as to the tax qualified status of the Plan. The Plan's Board of
Administration believes that the Plan is in operational compliance with the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and will remain qualified and exempt from federal
income taxes.

F.     TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

Party-in-interest transactions include the purchase and sale of short-term
investments managed by the Plan's Trustee, Bankers Trust Company.

At December 31, 1996, the Bankers Trust Pyramid Equity Index Fund holds 362,916
shares of TRW Inc. Common Stock having a fair value of $17,964,342.

Bankers Trust Company managed assets of the Plan of approximately $822,379,976
and $598,618,300 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and received, in
cash, trustee fees of $633,841 and $926,388 in 1997 and 1996, respectively.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS





To the Participants and the Board of Administration of
THE TRW CANADA STOCK SAVINGS PLAN

We have audited the statements of financial condition of the TRW Stock Fund,
Pooled Money Market Fund Employees Profit Sharing Plan, Pooled Balanced Fund
Registered Retirement Savings Plan and Pooled Money Market Fund Registered
Retirement Savings Plan [constituting THE TRW CANADA STOCK SAVINGS PLAN] as at
December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the related statements of operations and changes
in fund equity for these funds for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the several funds of THE TRW CANADA STOCK
SAVINGS PLAN as at December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of their
operations and the changes in fund equity for the years then ended in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada.

The total number of participants in the Plan is less than the sum of the number
of participants shown above because many are participating in more than one
Fund.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in Canada, and are within the framework of the
accounting policies summarized below.

GAIN AND LOSSES ON INVESTMENTS

The realized gain or loss on disposition or transfer of an investment is
determined from the market value of the investment at the date of disposition or
transfer and the average cost base of that specific pool of investments prior to
the disposition or transfer.

Unrealized gains or losses are determined as the net effect of the change in
appreciation (depreciation) of investments from January 1 to December 31, based
on market value and the average cost base of each investment at those respective
dates.

INCOME RECOGNITION

Dividends are recognized as earned.

Interest income is recognized as it is earned consistent with the accrual basis
of accounting.

                                                                               2

December 31, 1997 and 1996


3. INCOME TAXES

The Plan is exempt from Canadian federal income taxes under provisions of the
Income Tax Act. Federal income tax consequences to the participants under the
Plan are as provided in the Income Tax Act. TRW Canada Limited contributions are
taxable to the participants as is the income and all post-1971 capital gains
less post-1971 capital losses of the Plan, all of which are allocated to the
participants by the Trustee during the year, whether or not such amounts are
paid to the participants by the Trustee during the year. In some circumstances,
the amounts taxable could exceed the amounts allocated. The amount of foreign
non-business income tax paid on foreign source income by the trusts under the
Plan for the year is allocated to and deemed to have been paid by the
participants for Canadian federal income tax purposes. Participants who are
non-resident taxpayers are subject to special rules depending on whether they
have performed duties in Canada during the year and are subject to 15%
withholding tax on amounts paid or credited to them under the Plan.

4. UNREALIZED AND REALIZED (LOSSES) GAINS

Investments are stated at their quoted market value. The net unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of investments included in fund equity is as
follows:
