As Amended and Restated Effective March 2, 2020
SECTION 1.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The purpose of the Trane Technologies plc Director Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan II (the “Plan”) is to further increase the mutuality of interest between the Company, its non-employee members of the Board (“Non-employee Directors”) and members by providing its Non-employee Directors the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of cash compensation. The Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes. To the extent Code Section 409A applies to the Plan, the terms of the Plan are intended to comply with that provision, and the terms of the Plan shall be interpreted and administered in accordance therewith.
The Plan is a successor to the IR-PLC Director Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan (the “Predecessor Plan”). The Predecessor Plan, which previously was known as the Ingersoll-Rand Company Directors Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan, became effective on January 1, 1997, was amended and restated effective January 1, 2001.
On December 31, 2004, Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited froze the Predecessor Plan with respect to all deferrals to the extent such deferrals would otherwise be subject to Code Section 409A (including amounts that were credited under the Predecessor Plan as of December 31, 2004 but were not grandfathered with respect to Code Section 409A). Also on December 31, 2004, Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited adopted the Plan to provide for deferrals of amounts subject to Code Section 409A (including amounts that were credited under the Predecessor Plan as of December 31, 2004 but were not grandfathered with respect to Code Section 409A) on substantially the same terms as those provided under the Predecessor Plan to the extent such terms are not inconsistent with Code Section 409A.
Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited amended and restated the Plan in its entirety, effective August 1, 2007, and again effective January 1, 2009 to conform the terms of the Plan to the requirements of the regulations under Code Section 409A. The Plan was further amended and restated to reflect the Company’s reorganization in Ireland is effective July 1, 2009. This amendment and restatement is intended to reflect the transactions and name changes described below effective March 2, 2020. The Plan applies to (i) amounts initially deferred hereunder on or after January 1, 2005, (ii) amounts initially credited to the Predecessor Plan before January 1, 2005 that, pursuant to the effective-date rules of Code Section 409A, are subject to the provisions of Code Section 409A, and (iii) investment earnings allocable to amounts described in (i) and (ii). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, no amount will be deferred or credited under this Plan with respect to a Participant for a Plan Year if such amount is properly deferred or credited with respect to such Participant for such Plan Year under the Predecessor Plan.
Effective February 29, 2020, Ingersoll-Rand plc spun off all shares of common stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, Ingersoll-Rand U.S. HoldCo, Inc., to shareholders of Ingersoll-Rand

plc, followed by the merger of Ingersoll-Rand U.S. HoldCo, Inc. into a wholly owned subsidiary of Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc. (the “RMT Transaction”).

As a result of an internal corporate restructuring, Trane Technologies Company LLC succeeded to substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Ingersoll-Rand Company effective May 1, 2020.

On the day a Deferral Amount is credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account, the Administrative Committee shall credit the Investment Option Subaccounts of the Participant’s Deferral Account with an amount equal to the Participant’s Deferral Amount in accordance with the Participant’s Election Form; that is, the portion of the Participant’s Deferral Amount that the Participant has elected to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of investment option shall be credited to the Investment Option Subaccount corresponding to that investment option, and
Each business day, each Investment Option Subaccount of a Participant’s Deferral Account shall be adjusted for earnings or losses in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such Investment Option Subaccount as of the prior day plus contributions credited that day to the Investment Option Subaccount by the Return for the corresponding investment option selected by the Company.
5.2 Supplemental Contribution Accounts. The Company shall establish and maintain a separate Supplemental Contribution Account for each Plan Year for each Participant who receives a Supplemental Contribution for such Plan Year. All Supplemental Contributions shall be credited to the Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account on the same date
        -6-    



that the Participant’s Deferral Amount for which the Supplemental Contribution is being made is credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to Section 5.1. All of a Participant’s Supplemental Contributions shall be deemed to be invested in, and shall remain deemed to be invested in, TT Stock in the Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account until such amounts are distributed from the Plan.
All Supplemental Contributions shall initially be credited to a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account in units or fractional units of TT Stock. The value of each unit shall be determined each business day and shall equal the closing price of one share of TT Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape. On each date that Supplemental Contributions are credited to a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account, the number of units to be credited shall be determined by dividing the number of units by the value of a unit on such date.
Dividends paid on TT Stock shall be reflected in a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account by the crediting of additional units or fractional units. Such additional units or fractional units shall equal the value of the dividends based upon the closing price of one share of TT Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date such dividends are paid.
5.3 TT Stock Accounts. The Company shall establish and maintain a separate TT Stock Account for each Plan Year for each Participant who elects to have all or a portion of his or her Deferral Amounts for such Plan Year invested in TT Stock. All Deferral Amounts that are deemed, at the Participant’s election, to be invested in TT Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s TT Stock Account on the date when the Deferral Amount would otherwise be paid to the Participant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, TT Stock credited to a Participant’s TT Stock Account may not be designated by the Participant to be deemed to be invested in any other investment option and shall remain invested in TT Stock in such TT Stock Account until distributed from the Plan. A Participant’s TT Stock Accounts shall be credited as follows:
(a) On the day a Deferral Amount is credited to a Participant’s TT Stock Account, the Company shall credit the TT Stock Account with an amount equal to the Participant’s Deferral Amount.
(b) All Deferral Amounts deemed to be invested in TT Stock in accordance with the Participant’s Election Form shall be credited to a Participant’s TT Stock Account in units or fractional units. The value of each unit shall be determined each business day and shall equal the closing price of one share of TT Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape. On each date that Deferral Amounts are credited to the Participant’s TT Stock Account, the number of units to be credited shall be determined by dividing the amount of such Deferral Amounts by the value of a unit on such date.
Dividends paid on TT Stock shall be reflected in a Participant’s TT Stock Account by the crediting of additional units or fractional units. Such additional units or fractional units shall
        -7-    



equal the value of the dividends based upon the closing price of one share of TT Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date such dividends are paid.
5.4 Valuation of Account Balance in Event of Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 6.5, the value of each TT Stock unit deemed to be invested in each TT Stock Account, Supplemental Contribution Account, and Deferred TT Stock Award Account shall be equal to the closing price of one share of TT Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date of the transaction constituting the Change in Control if TT Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange on such date, or, if TT Stock is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange on such date but is traded on another securities market on such date, the closing price of one share of TT Stock on such securities market on such date, or, in any other case, the value of one share of TT Stock as determined under the terms of the transaction constituting the Change in Control.
In the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 6.5, the value of a Participant’s Account Balances for all investment options other than TT Stock shall be determined as of the end of the month during which the Change in Control occurs.
5.5 Changes in Capitalization. If there is any change in the number or class of shares of TT Stock through the declaration of a stock dividend or other extraordinary dividends, or recapitalization resulting in stock splits, or combinations or exchanges of such shares or in the event of similar corporate transactions, the units in each Participant’s TT Stock Account, Supplemental Contribution Account, and Deferred TT Stock Award Account shall be equitably adjusted to reflect any such change in the number or class of issued shares of TT Stock or to reflect such similar corporate transaction.
5.6 Accounts are Bookkeeping Entries. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the investment options, including TT Stock, are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any such investment option, the allocation to his or her Account Balances, and Deferred TT Stock Award Account thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Account Balances and Deferred TT Stock Award Account shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment in any such investment option. In the event that the Company or the trustee of the Trust, in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the investment options, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Account Balances and Deferred TT Stock Award Account shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on the Participant’s behalf by the Company or the Trust. The Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Company.
5.7 Mandatory Fee Deferral. On each TT Stock quarterly dividend payment date a portion of each Non-employee Director’s Fees equal to $15,000 shall be deferred and credited to the Deferred TT Stock Award Account of such Non-employee Director. Effective January 1, 2007, the amount of mandatory quarterly fee deferral shall be increased to $23,000.
        -8-    



A Participant’s Deferred TT Stock Award Account shall be credited as follows:
(a) On the day the Fees are credited to a Participant’s Deferred TT Stock Award Account, the Company shall credit the Deferred TT Stock Award Account with an amount equal to the Fees that are deferred pursuant to this Section.
(b) All Fees that are deferred pursuant to this Section shall be credited to a Participant’s Deferred TT Stock Award Account in units or fractional units. The value of each unit shall be determined each business day and shall equal the closing price of one share of TT Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape. On each date that Fees under this Section are credited to the Participant’s Deferred TT Stock Award Account, the number of units to be credited shall be determined by dividing the amount of such Fees by the value of a unit on such date.
Dividends paid on TT Stock shall be reflected in a Participant’s Deferred TT Stock Award Account by the crediting of additional units or fractional units. Such additional units or fractional units shall equal the value of the dividends based upon the closing price of one share of TT Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date such dividends are paid.

6.1 Separation from Service and Death. Effective August 1, 2007 or as otherwise provided in Section 6.9, a Participant who has a Separation from Service or dies shall be paid his or her vested Account Balances (and after his or her death to his or her Beneficiary) in a lump sum in the Plan Year following the Participant’s Separation from Service or death unless an optional form of benefit payment is elected in accordance with the next sentence.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may irrevocably elect, on a subsequent Election Form, to change the form and/or extend the timing of a distribution under this Section to a lump sum distribution payable in the Plan Year specified by the Participant on such Election Form, which Plan Year shall not be later than ten (10) years following the Participant’s Separation from Service or death, provided that, as and to the extent required by Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C): (i) no such election shall take effect until twelve months after the date on which such election was made; (ii) no such election (other than an election related to a distribution payable by reason of death) shall be effective unless it defers by a period of at least five years the date on which such distribution would otherwise be made or begin; and (iii) no such election related to a distribution payable at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule (within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(iv)) may be made within twelve months of the date such distribution would otherwise be made. As and to the extent required under Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C), the first day of the Plan Year in which a distribution would otherwise be made or begin (but for an election made by the Participant under this paragraph) shall be treated as the date the distribution would otherwise be made or begin for purposes of the rules set forth in the preceding sentence.
In the event of the Participant’s Separation from Service or death prior to the elected date for one or more scheduled distributions pursuant to Section 6.2, the portion of the Participant’s Account Balance associated with such distributions) shall be paid to the Participant (and after his or her death to his or her Beneficiary) at the time and in the form determined under this Section 6.1.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant has a Separation from Service or dies while receiving annual installments pursuant to Section 6.2, such annual installments shall continue to be paid to the Participant (and after his or her death to his or her Beneficiary) in the same manner as if the Participant had not had a Separation from Service or died.
All distributions under this Section shall be made on a pro rata basis from the Participant’s Account Balances.
6.2 Scheduled Distributions.

A Participant’s election for a distribution under this Section shall be permitted only if the date specified on the Election Form by the Participant for such distribution (in the event of a lump sum) or the commencement of such distribution (in the event of annual installments) is no earlier than two (2) years from the last day of the Plan Year for which the portion of the Deferral Account and TT Stock Account to be distributed is actually deferred. At the time an election for a distribution under this Section is made, the Participant shall also elect, on the Election Form, the form of payment of the distribution. The Participant shall elect either (i) a lump sum payment to be paid in the Plan Year specified by the Participant on the Election Form or (ii) annual installments over
        -10-    



two (2), three (3), four (4) or five (5) years beginning in the Plan Year specified by the Participant on the Election Form.

As and to the extent required under Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C), the first day of the Plan Year in which a distribution would otherwise be made or begin (but for an election made by the Participant under this paragraph) shall be treated as the date the distribution would otherwise be made or begin for purposes of the rules set forth in the preceding sentence.

All amounts in a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account, Deferred TT Stock Award Account, and TT Stock Account and payable to a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be paid in TT Stock.
All distributions from the Plan that are to be paid in a specified number of annual installments shall be paid so that the amount of each annual installment is determined by dividing the total remaining number of units in the Participant’s Account Balance to be paid in annual installments by the number of years of annual installments remaining.
6.5 Change in Control. In the event of a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) (a “Change in Control”), all Account Balances shall be valued pursuant to Section 5.4, and shall be distributed in a lump sum within forty five (45) days following such Change in Control.

A Participant may change the designated Beneficiary under this Plan at any time by providing such designation in writing to the Secretary of the Company.
If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary(ies), or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant, the Participant’s Beneficiary(ies) shall be deemed to be the Participant’s estate. If the Company is unable to determine a Participant’s Beneficiary or if any dispute arises
        -12-    



concerning a Participant’s Beneficiary, the Company may pay benefits to the Participant’s estate. Upon such payment, the Company shall have no further liability hereunder.
If any distribution to a Beneficiary is to be made in annual installments, and the Beneficiary dies before receiving all such installments, the remaining installments, if any, shall continue to be paid as installments to the estate of the Beneficiary.
