One member shall be appointed by the Board to serve as Chair of the Committee. Any member of the Committee may be removed by a majority of the Board. All of the members of the Committee shall be "independent" Directors, as determined by the Board under the standards set forth in the Board's Corporate Governance Guidelines and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) Listing Standards. 

Primary Duties and Responsibilities
Nominating Board Candidates and Board Composition

  1. Review the appropriate structure and size of the Board relative to its various responsibilities and make recommendations to the Board as necessary.  
  2. Using the Board's Corporate Governance Guidelines, evaluate the needs of the Board to determine the qualifications of individuals best suited to further enhance the composition of the Board. 
  3. Assist in attracting candidates who meet these qualifications and review the qualifications of persons identified as prospective members of the Board. As part of the search process for new director candidates, the Committee, acting on behalf of the Board, is committed to actively seeking women and candidates from under-represented communities for the pool from which Board nominees are chosen. 
  4. Recommend to the Board nominees for election to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  Review and consider candidates recommended by shareholders for nomination to the Board pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Company’s Bylaws and described in the Company’s proxy statement. Determine whether any director candidates nominated for election pursuant to the proxy access or advance notice provisions of the Bylaws satisfy the applicable requirements and make a recommendation to the Board concerning their election. 
  5. In the event of a Director vacancy, recommend to the Board a successor for that position or whether to reduce the size of the Board.  If the Board accepts a Director’s resignation pursuant to a majority withheld vote (as defined in the Company’s Bylaws), the Committee will recommend to the Board whether to fill such vacancy or reduce the size of the Board.
  6. Consider offers to resign tendered by Directors in the event of major job changes as required under the Board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and refer the matter to the Board with the Committee’s recommendation whether such resignation should be accepted.

  2.

  3. Review potential related-party transactions and potential conflicts of interests and review all “related person transactions,” in accordance with the Teradata Corporation Related Person Transactions Policy and determine whether such transactions should be considered by the disinterested members of the Board.

Director Compensation

  1. Periodically review and make recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning the annual retainer to be paid to the Board of Directors, and any other compensation programs relating to the Board of Directors.

The Committee shall have authority to retain, and terminate, at the expense of the Company such outside consultants, counsel and other experts and advisors as it determines necessary to carry out its duties, including the sole authority to approve their fees.  The Committee shall evaluate whether any compensation consultant retained or to be retained by it, for purposes of Director compensation, has any conflict of interest in accordance with Item 407(e)(3)(iv) of Regulation S-K.
