Exhibit 10.4

2013 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

SciQuest, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants as of the date (the “Grant Date”) noted below to the recipient named below (“Recipient”) pursuant to this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”) the total number of restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) noted below whereby the Recipient may become entitled to be paid a share of Common Stock of the Company (“Share”) for each RSU noted below (on a one for one basis) in accordance with, and subject to all of the terms and conditions of, this Agreement and the SciQuest, Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. The terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan are incorporated herein by reference.

1. Vesting of RSUs. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Recipient shall vest in the percentage of the RSUs subject to this Agreement shown below based upon the Continuous Service of the Recipient from the Vesting Start Date of this Agreement (as noted hereon) at the time of payment.

If the above calculation of vested RSUs subject to this Agreement available for payment would result in a fraction Share, such fraction will be rounded to zero and no fractional Share shall be issued.

2. Termination of RSUs. All RSUs awarded under this Agreement shall be immediately forfeited, along with any and all rights or subsequent rights related hereto, and will not be paid, after the date on which the Recipient ceases to perform Continuous Service for the Company, or a Subsidiary.

3. Forfeiture of RSUs and Benefits Thereunder. Furthermore, all RSUs awarded under this Agreement shall immediately be forfeited, along with any and all rights or subsequent rights related hereto, if the Recipient engages in any Forfeiture Activities (as defined in the Plan), and that if, subsequent to the payment of the RSUs, the Recipient engages in any of the Forfeiture Activities, then the Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) at any time after the Recipient engages in any of the Forfeiture Activities to rescind the payment of the RSUs by being entitled to request that the Recipient forfeit and return to the Company the amount paid to the Recipient upon payment of the RSUs, and, upon such request, the Recipient shall forfeit and return to the Company any such amounts within ten (10) calendar days of notice from the Company. The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that if the Recipient engages in any of the Forfeiture Activities, the Recipient shall forfeit rights and benefits as set forth above. Further, the Recipient acknowledges and agrees that the Recipient’s participation in the Plan and this Agreement are voluntary, and that the Recipient knowingly and voluntarily agrees that the Recipient’s rights and benefits under this Agreement are expressly subject to forfeiture as set forth above.

4. Manner & Timing of Payment – Issuance of Shares.

(a) Payment of RSU upon Vesting. As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of an RSU, such RSU shall be paid; provided, however, in no event shall any RSU be paid later than the fifteenth (15^th) day of the third (3^rd) month following the calendar year during which such RSU became vested. Each RSU shall be paid by issuance, and delivery to the Recipient, of a Share. To the extent that a RSU awarded under this Agreement has been paid, no further payment may be made with respect to such RSU.

(b) Withholding Taxes. Any payment of Shares for RSUs pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to applicable federal or state withholding obligations imposed upon the Company and the Recipient.

5. Nontransferability of RSUs. RSUs may not be transferred in any manner, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the executor, administrators, successors and assigns of the Recipient.

6. Tax Consequences. Recipient understands that the grant of these RSUs, and the issuance and sale of Shares obtained pursuant to these RSUs, may have tax implications that could result in adverse tax consequences to the Recipient. Recipient represents that Recipient has consulted with, or will consult with, his or her tax advisor; Recipient further acknowledges that Recipient is not relying on the Company for any tax, financial or legal advice; and it is specifically understood by the Recipient that no representations or assurances are made as to any particular tax treatment with respect to these RSUs. Recipient shall be liable for any and all taxes, including withholding taxes, arising out of this grant or the vesting of these RSUs.

7. Interpretation & Governing Law. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted to the Board or the Committee, which shall review such dispute in accordance with the Plan. The resolution of such a dispute by the Board or Committee shall be final and binding on the Company and Recipient. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern this Agreement. If Delaware’s conflict of law rules would apply another state’s laws, the parties agree that Delaware law shall still govern. It is intended that the RSUs granted hereby shall meet the exception from being considered deferred compensation subject to Code §409A set forth in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4).

8. Entire Agreement & Other Matters. The Plan is incorporated herein by this reference. Recipient acknowledges and agrees that the granting of these RSUs constitutes a full accord, satisfaction and release of all obligations or commitments made to Recipient by the Company or any of its officers, directors, stockholders or affiliates with respect to the issuance of any securities, or rights to acquire securities, of the Company or any of its affiliates. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement and the underlying RSUs are void ab initio unless this agreement has been executed by the Recipient and the Recipient has agreed to all terms and provisions hereof within thirty (30) days of the Grant Date.

9. Consent to Jurisdiction & Venue: The Recipient agrees that any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in North Carolina. The Recipient agrees to the personal jurisdiction of the state and/or federal courts located in North Carolina. The Recipient waives (a) any objection to jurisdiction or venue, or (b) any defense claiming lack of jurisdiction or improper venue, in any action brought in such courts.

10. Unfunded Obligations. The RSUs granted hereunder are mere unfunded, unsecured obligations of the company to pay Shares in the future, and do not provide the Recipient any right to any specific assets of the Company. Recipient shall not be entitled to any of the rights or benefits (including without limitation any voting or dividend rights) generally accorded to stockholders unless and until Shares are issued pursuant to this Agreement.

11. No Right to Employment or Other Relationship. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on the Recipient any right to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company, or any Subsidiary, or limit in any way the right of the Company, or any Subsidiary, to terminate the Recipient’s employment or other service relationship at any time, with or without cause.
