 Exhibit 10.6 
 TERADATA CORPORATION EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
 (As amended and
restated on January 31, 2012) 
  

	1.	Purpose 

 The Teradata
Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Plan”) provides Eligible Employees with an opportunity to purchase Teradata Common Stock through payroll deductions and is intended as an employment incentive and to encourage ownership of
Teradata Common Stock to enable Eligible Employees to participate in the economic progress of Teradata Corporation (“Teradata”) during the term of the Plan. 
 The Company intends to have the Plan qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code. The provisions of the Plan shall be construed so as to extend and limit
participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company may make Offerings under the Plan that are not intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code to the extent
deemed advisable for Designated Subsidiaries outside the United States (“Non-423 Component”). Furthermore, the Company may make separate Offerings under the Plan, each of which may have different terms, but each separate Offering will be
intended to comply with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. 
 This Plan was originally adopted effective as the
Effective Time and has since been amended from time to time. The Plan is amended and restated as set forth herein as of January 31, 2012 (the “Restatement Date”).

hereof during the Purchase Period commencing on such Offering Date. 
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if any
person entitled to purchase shares pursuant to any Offering hereunder would be deemed, for the purposes of Section 423(b)(3) of the Code, to own stock (including any number of shares which such person would be entitled to purchase
hereunder and under any other similar plan or stock option plan of the Company, the parent of the Company or any Subsidiary) possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company, the parent of the
Company or a Subsidiary, the maximum number of shares which such person shall be entitled to purchase pursuant to the Plan shall be reduced to that number which, when added to the number of shares of stock of the Company, the parent of the Company
or a Subsidiary which such person is so deemed to own (excluding any number of shares which such person would be entitled to purchase hereunder), is one less than such 5% and any balance remaining in such person’s account to purchase shares of
Teradata Common Stock under this Plan (“Stock Purchase Account”) shall be refunded. 
  

	5.	Entry Into the Plan; Stock Purchase Agreements 

 Any Eligible Employee may become a Participant in the Plan by filing a stock purchase agreement (a “Stock Purchase Agreement”) in accordance with procedures established by the Benefits
Committee. Once an Eligible Employee has filed a Stock Purchase Agreement and become a Participant in the Plan, he shall remain a Participant until he withdraws from the Plan 

  
 3 

 
in accordance with Section 13 hereof, and he shall not be required to file a Stock Purchase Agreement for any succeeding Offering until he withdraws from the Plan. 

A Participant may change his level of payroll deduction in accordance with procedures established by the Benefits Committee. 

 

	6.	Payment for Shares; Payroll Deductions 

 Payment for shares of Teradata Common Stock purchased hereunder shall be made by authorized payroll deductions from a Participant’s Compensation pursuant to this Section. 

In his Stock Purchase Agreement, a Participant shall authorize a deduction from each payment of Compensation during a Purchase Period of
an amount equal to any full percentage of such payment; provided, however, that the minimum deduction shall be 1% and the maximum deduction shall be 10% of any payment of Compensation. 

A Participant on an unpaid leave of absence will remain a Participant in the Plan but no amounts will be credited to the
Participant’s Stock Purchase Account during the time the Participant receives no Compensation. 
  

	7.	Payroll Deductions 

Amounts deducted from a Participant’s Compensation pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall be recorded by the Company and applied to
the purchase of Teradata Common Stock hereunder. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Participant with respect to any deducted amounts. 
  

	8.	Purchase Price 

 The
Purchase Price per share of the shares of Teradata Common Stock sold to Participants hereunder for any Purchase Period commencing prior to January 1, 2013 shall be 95% of the average of the reported highest and lowest sale prices of shares of
Teradata Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the applicable Exercise Date. The Purchase Price per share of the shares of Teradata Common Stock sold to Participants hereunder for any Purchase Period commencing on or after January 1,
2013 shall be 85% of the average of the reported highest and lowest sale prices of shares of Teradata Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the applicable Exercise Date. Should no sale of Teradata Common Stock occur on any Exercise Date,
then the Purchase Price shall be determined on the basis of the sales of Teradata Common Stock on the first day prior thereto on which such sales were made. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Purchase Price per share shall not be
less than the par value of a share of Teradata Common Stock. 
  

	9.	Purchase of Shares; Limitation on Right to Purchase 

 As of each Exercise Date, each Participant shall be offered the right to purchase, and shall be deemed, without any further action, to have purchased, at the Purchase Price in United States dollars, the
number of full shares of Teradata Common Stock which can be purchased with the amount credited to such Participant’s Stock Purchase Account. All such shares shall be maintained in Investment Accounts for the Participants. All dividends paid
with respect to such 

  
 4 

 
shares shall be credited to the Participants’ Investment Accounts, and will be automatically reinvested in shares of Teradata Common Stock, unless the Participant elects not to have such
dividends reinvested. Any remaining balance in a Participant’s Stock Purchase Account not used to purchase full shares of Teradata Common Stock shall be applied to purchase shares of Teradata Common Stock on the next Exercise Date or, in the
event that there is no next Exercise Date, shall be refunded to the Participant. 
 At the time a Participant’s payroll
deduction amounts are used to purchase the Teradata Common Stock, he or she will have all of the rights and privileges of a stockholder of Teradata with respect to the shares purchased under the Plan. 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) a Participant may not purchase more than 50,000 shares of Teradata Common Stock
through this Plan in any Purchase Period hereunder and (ii) if at any time when any person is entitled to complete the purchase of any shares pursuant to the Plan, taking into account such person’s rights, if any, to purchase stock under
all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company, its parent and of any Subsidiaries, the result would be that during the then current calendar year such person would have first become entitled to purchase under the Plan and all such other
plans a number of shares of stock which would exceed the maximum number of shares permitted by the provisions of Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, then the number of shares which such person shall be entitled to purchase pursuant to the Plan shall
be reduced by the number which is one more than the number of shares which represents the excess, and any remaining balance of the Participant’s payroll deductions shall be refunded. 

 

	10.	Expiration of Purchase Period 

 As of each Exercise Date the amount of payroll deductions for each Participant in the applicable Purchase Period shall be applied to purchase shares of Teradata Common Stock at the Purchase Price.

  

	11.	Issuance of Shares 

 The
shares of Teradata Common Stock purchased by a Participant on an Exercise Date shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have been issued and sold at the close of business on such Exercise Date. Prior to that time, none of the rights or privileges of a
stockholder shall exist with respect to such shares. 
 As soon as practicable after such Exercise Date, the Company shall cause
a book entry to be registered in the street name of the Recordkeeper on behalf of the Participants, for the number of shares of Teradata Common Stock purchased by the Participants on such Exercise Date, as designated in the Participant’s Stock
Purchase Agreement. Such designation may be changed at any time by filing notice thereof. The Benefits Committee shall have sole discretion to adopt rules governing the registration of shares purchased hereunder, and may restrict the types of
designations permitted under a Participant’s Stock Purchase Agreement. 

  
 5 

	12.	Investment Accounts Maintained by Recordkeeper 

 The Recordkeeper shall maintain an Investment Account for each Participant with a record of the shares purchased by the Participant. The Participant may at any time direct the Recordkeeper to
(i) sell some or all of the shares credited to his Investment Account and deliver the cash in U.S. currency to the Participant, subject to any applicable delivery or transfer charge or (ii) provide the Participant a notice of issuance of
uncertificated shares reflecting some or all of the whole shares credited to his Investment Account. 
  

	13.	Withdrawal 

 A Participant
may withdraw from the Plan at any time by filing notice of withdrawal. Upon a Participant’s withdrawal, the amount credited to his Stock Purchase Account shall go toward the purchase of Teradata Common Stock on the next Exercise Date. Any
Participant who withdraws from the Plan may again become a Participant hereunder in accordance with Section 5 hereof. 
  

	14.	Termination of Continuous Service 

 If a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason during a Purchase Period, the amount credited to his Stock Purchase Account as of the termination date shall be used to purchase shares
of Teradata Common Stock pursuant to Section 9 hereof as of the next succeeding Exercise Date. The Participant may elect within 60 days of the date of his termination of employment to liquidate his Investment Account by either of the methods
described in Section 12 or some combination of both. If the Recordkeeper receives no directions from the Participant within 60 days after his termination date, the Recordkeeper may deem that the Participant elected to retain ownership of the
stock in the Participant’s own name and receive appropriate evidence of such ownership, and the Recordkeeper may proceed accordingly. 
 If a Participant transfers to part-time status during a Purchase Period, his payroll deductions for the Plan shall terminate as of the date of such transfer and the amount credited to his Stock Purchase
Account as of the effective date of any such occurrence shall remain in the Stock Purchase Account until the Exercise Date. The Recordkeeper shall continue to maintain the Participant’s Investment Account. 

 

	15.	Death 

 If a Participant
dies during a Purchase Period, the amount credited to his Stock Purchase Account as of the date of death shall be applied to the purchase of Teradata Common Stock on the Exercise Date. 

The Recordkeeper shall transfer the Participant’s Investment Account to the executor or administrator of the Participant’s
estate. If no executor or administrator is appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company in its discretion may direct the Recordkeeper to transfer the Investment Account to the Participant’s spouse or to any one or more dependents of
the Participant. 

  
 6 

	16.	Procedure if Insufficient Shares Available 

 In the event that on any Exercise Date the aggregate funds available for the purchase of shares of Teradata Common Stock pursuant to Section 9 hereof would purchase a number of shares in excess of
the number of shares then available for purchase under the Plan, the Benefits Committee shall proportionately reduce the number of shares which would otherwise be purchased by each Participant on such Exercise Date in order to eliminate such excess,
the Plan shall automatically terminate immediately after such Exercise Date and any remaining balance credited to the Stock Purchase Account of each Participant shall be refunded to each such Participant. 

 

	17.	Rights not Transferable 

Rights to purchase shares under the Plan are exercisable only by the Participant during his lifetime and are not transferable by him other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. If a Participant attempts to transfer his rights to purchase shares under the Plan other than by will, he shall be deemed to have requested withdrawal from the Plan and the provisions of
Section 13 hereof shall apply with respect to such Participant. 
  

	18.	Administration of the Plan 

Subject to the general control of, and superseding action by, the Board of Directors, the Benefits Committee shall have full power to
administer the Plan. It shall adopt rules not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan for its administration. It shall adopt the form of Stock Purchase Agreement, all notices required hereunder, and any on the registration of certificates for
shares purchased hereunder. Its interpretation and construction of the Plan and Rules shall, subject as aforesaid, be final and conclusive. 
  

	19.	Amendment of the Plan 

The Board of Directors may at any time, or from time to time, alter or amend the Plan in any respect, except that, without approval of the
stockholders of Teradata, no amendment may (i) increase the number of shares reserved for purchase under the Plan other than as provided in Section 20 hereof or (ii) reduce the Purchase Price per share as defined in Section 8
hereof. 
  

	20.	Recapitalization; Effect of Certain Transactions 

 The aggregate number of shares of Teradata Common Stock reserved for purchase under the Plan as provided in Section 3 hereof, the maximum number of shares which a Participant may purchase in any
Purchase Period as provided in Section 9 hereof, and the calculation of the Purchase Price per share as provided in Section 8 hereof shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital
adjustment, or the payment of a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend or other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Teradata Common Stock, effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. If Teradata shall merge or
consolidate, whether or not Teradata is the surviving or resulting corporation in such merger or consolidation, any Offering hereunder shall pertain to and apply to shares of stock of Teradata or any shares issued in connection with such merger or
consolidation in exchange for shares of stock of Teradata, unless prior to such merger or consolidation, the 

  
 7 

 
Board of Directors of the Company shall, in its discretion, terminate the Plan and/or any Offering hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a dissolution or liquidation of Teradata shall cause
the Plan and any Offering hereunder to terminate and the entire amount credited to the Stock Purchase Account of each Participant thereunder shall be paid to each such Participant. 

 

	21.	Expiration and Termination of the Plan 

 The Plan shall continue in effect through the tenth anniversary of the Restatement Date unless terminated prior thereto pursuant to Section 16 or 20 hereof, or pursuant to the next succeeding
sentence. The Board of Directors shall have the right to terminate the Plan or any Offering hereunder at any time. In the event of the expiration of the Plan or its termination or the termination of any Offering pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence, the entire amount credited to the Stock Purchase Account of each Participant hereunder shall be refunded to each such Participant. 
  

	22.	Treatment of Fractional Shares 

 For any amounts of payroll deductions that are insufficient to purchase a whole share, the Recordkeeper may determine whether its standard practice will be to credit the Participants’ Investment
Accounts with fractional shares or with the insufficient cash amount that will be carried over and applied to the next Purchase Period. If the Investment Accounts are credited with fractional shares, such fractional shares shall be cashed out when a
Participant closes his or her Investment Account. 
  

	23.	Notice 

 Any notice which
a Participant files pursuant to the Plan shall be in the appropriate form and shall be delivered by hand or mailed, postage prepaid, to such Participant’s Payroll Department. 

 

	24.	Repurchase of Stock 

 The
Company shall not be required to repurchase from any Participant shares of Teradata Common Stock which such Participant acquires under the Plan. 
  

	25.	Use of Funds 

 All payroll
deductions received or held by the Company under this Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions. 

 

	26.	Alternate Contribution Methods 

 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event authorized payroll deductions from a Participant’s Compensation are not permitted by reason of the provisions of local law applicable to
the Company or a Designated Subsidiary, or are not practicable in the opinion of the Benefits Committee, the appropriate alternative method pursuant to which affected Participants may make payment for shares of Teradata Common Stock purchased

  
 8 

 
hereunder which would otherwise have been made pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall be designated by the Benefits Committee. Payments made hereunder shall be deemed to have been made pursuant
to Section 6 hereof. 
  

	27.	Fees 

 The Recordkeeper
may charge Participants reasonable transaction fees, as agreed by the Company. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has
caused this Plan to be duly executed on this 31st day of January, 2012.
