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

(1)    Pursuant to the Plan, before each annual or special meeting of the
       shareholders of TRW Inc., each Plan participant with an account balance
       in the TRW Stock Fund (an investment fund within the Plan consisting
       solely of TRW Common) is sent a copy of the proxy solicitation material.
       In addition, each participant is sent forms for advising the three
       individual co-trustees for the TRW Stock Fund (the "Co-Trustees") how to
       vote the shares of TRW Common held for the participant's account. Upon
       receipt of instructions from each Plan participant, the Co-Trustees vote
       the shares as instructed. The Co-Trustees have the right to vote, at
       their discretion, the shares of TRW Common for which no voting
       instructions are received from participants.

(2)    Pursuant to the Plan, participants may make contributions to one or more
       of nine investment funds, including the TRW Stock Fund. Company
       contributions to the Plan are made exclusively to the TRW Stock Fund.
       Subject to certain restrictions, a participant may elect to withdraw the
       value of his or her account in the Plan, including that portion of his or
       her account in the TRW Stock Fund. Withdrawals from the TRW Stock Fund
       are currently paid in whole shares. A participant may elect at any time
       to transfer funds from one investment fund under the Plan to another
       fund. Such elections might have the effect of requiring the Plan to
       dispose of shares and to use the proceeds therefrom to fund such
       transfer. In the case of a tender offer for TRW Common, the Co-Trustees
       will tender or not tender the shares held for participants' accounts in
       accordance with directions received from participants; provided, however
       that (i) the Co-Trustees will determine whether or not to tender shares
       for which no valid directions are received from Plan participants in
       their discretion; and (ii) directors and certain officers of TRW do not
       have the right to direct the Co-Trustees as to whether shares of TRW
       Common attributable to their accounts should be tendered.

                  Person:
                  ------

                  The Plan is a combined profit-sharing and employee stock
                  ownership plan within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the
                  Internal Revenue Code. That part of the Plan comprised of a
                  fund in which Company contributions are invested in TRW Common
                  is an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP"), while the
                  remaining funds form a profit-sharing plan. All shares of TRW
                  Common held by the Plan are held for the benefit of
                  participants. Dividends paid in respect of shares held by the
                  Plan are credited to the account of the participants except
                  that dividends paid to the Plan on shares of TRW Common held
                  by the ESOP are either paid in cash to Plan participants or,
                  at the Company's discretion, used to repay any ESOP Loan (in
                  which case participants' accounts will be credited with an
                  equivalent amount of TRW Common).
