                          RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

     THIS RESTRICED STOCK AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), made as of the 31st day
of January , 2000 (the "Effective Date"), by and between SciQuest.com, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and W. Andrew McKenna (the "Stockholder"),
evidences an Award made pursuant to the SciQuest.com, Inc. 1999 Stock Incentive
Plan (the "Plan") and in the manner and subject to the terms herein.

     For valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

     1.   Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and without definition
          -------------
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.

     2.   Administration of Plan; Delegation.
          ----------------------------------

          (a)  Administration by Board. The Plan shall be administered by the
               -----------------------
Board. The Board shall have authority to grant Awards and to adopt, amend and
repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Plan
as it shall deem advisable from time to time. The Board may correct any defect,
supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in
the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into
effect and it shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency. No member of
the Board shall be liable for any action or determination relating to the Plan.
All decisions by the Board shall be made in the Board's sole discretion and
shall be final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the
Plan or in any Award. No director or person acting pursuant to the authority
delegated by the Board shall be liable for any action or determination under the
Plan made in good faith.

          (b)  Delegation to Executive Officers. To the extent permitted by
               --------------------------------
applicable law, the Board may delegate to one or more executive officers of the
Company the power to make Awards and exercise such other powers under the Plan
as the Board may determine, provided that the Board shall fix the maximum number
of shares subject to Awards and the maximum number of shares for any one Award
to be made by such executive officers.

          (c)  Appointment of Committees. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, the Board may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or
more committees or subcommittees of the Board (each, a "Committee"). For so long
as the common stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of the
Company is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act"), the Board shall appoint one such Committee of not less than two members,
each member of which shall be a "non-employee director" as defined in Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act. All references in the Plan to the "Board"

executive officer.

12,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of
the Company ("Series C Stock"), at a purchase price of $28.3125 per share.  The
aggregate purchase price for the Shares shall be paid by the Stockholder by
check payable to the order of the Company or such other method as may be
acceptable to the Company.  Upon receipt of payment by the Company for the
Shares, the Company shall issue to the Stockholder one or more certificates in
the name of the Stockholder for that number of Shares purchased by the
Stockholder.  The Stockholder agrees that the Shares shall be subject to the
Purchase Option set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement and the restrictions on
transfer set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.

     4.   Purchase Option. In the event that the Stockholder ceases to be
          ---------------
employed by the Company, for any reason or for no reason, with or without cause,
prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company shall have
the right and option (the "Purchase Option") to purchase from the Stockholder,
for a sum of $28.3125 per share (the "Purchase Option Price") up to that number
of the Shares which is unvested at the time the Stockholder ceases to be
employed by the Company. Six Thousand (6,000) of the Shares shall vest as of the
first anniversary of the Effective Date. The remaining Six Thousand (6,000)
Shares shall vest on the second anniversary of the Effective Date, with all
Shares being fully vested after twenty-four (24) full months of employment by
the Company (beginning as of the Effective Date). For purposes of this
Agreement, employment by the Company shall include employment by a parent or
subsidiary of the Company.

     5.   Exercise and Payment of Purchase Option.
          ---------------------------------------

          (a)  Exercise of Purchase Option. The Company may exercise the
               ---------------------------
Purchase Option by delivering or mailing to the Stockholder (or the
Stockholder's estate), in accordance with Section 24, written notice of exercise
within sixty (60) days after the termination of the Stockholder's employment
with the Company. Such notice shall specify the number of Shares to be
purchased. If and to the extent the Purchase Option is not so exercised within
such 60-day period, the Purchase Option shall automatically expire and terminate
effective upon the expiration of such 60-day period. Within ten (10) days after
the Stockholder's receipt of the Company's notice of the exercise of the
Purchase Option pursuant to Section 4 above, the Stockholder (or the
Stockholder's estate) shall tender to the Company at its principal offices the
certificate or certificates representing the Shares which the Company has
elected to purchase, duly endorsed in blank by the Stockholder or with duly
endorsed stock powers attached thereto, all in form suitable for the transfer of
such Shares to the Company. Upon its receipt of such Shares, the Company shall
deliver or mail to the Stockholder (or the Stockholder's estate) a check in the
amount of the aggregate Purchase Option Price therefor.

check) or both.

          (c)  Fractional Shares. The Company shall not purchase any fraction of
               -----------------

Stockholder elects, in accordance with Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, to recognize ordinary income in the year of
acquisition of the Shares, the Company will require at the time of such election
an additional payment for withholding tax purposes based on the difference, if
any, between the purchase price for such Shares and the fair market value of
such Shares as of the day immediately preceding the date of the purchase of such
Shares by the Stockholder.

     9.   Acquisition Events. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein or
          ------------------

immediately after such merger or consolidation; (b) any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; (c) the complete liquidation of
the Company; or (d) the acquisition of "beneficial ownership" (as defined in

                                       3
<PAGE>

the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the

"person," as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act,
other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under
an employee benefit plan of the Company or any corporation owned directly or
indirectly by the stockholders of the Company.

     10.  Escrow.  To ensure that the Shares subject to the Purchase Option are
          ------
available for repurchase, the stock certificate issued in respect of the Shares
shall be registered in the name of the Stockholder and held in escrow by the
Company, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company (or its

designee) shall deliver the certificate(s) to the Stockholder.  The Company

to vote the Shares and the right to receive dividends on such Shares; provided,
however, that after the time at which any Shares are required to be delivered to
the Company for transfer to the Company pursuant to Section 5 above, the Company
shall not pay any dividend to the Stockholder on account of such Shares or
permit the Stockholder to exercise any of the privileges or rights of a
stockholder with respect to such Shares, but shall, in so far as permitted by
law, treat the Company as the owner of such Shares.

     12.  Restrictive Legend.  All certificates representing Shares shall have
          ------------------
affixed thereto a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any
other legends that may be required under federal or state securities laws:

          RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND AN OPTION TO PURCHASE SET FORTH
          IN A CERTAIN STOCK RESTRICTION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY
          AND THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THIS CERTIFICATE (OR SUCH
          OWNER'S PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST), AND SUCH STOCK RESTRICTION
          AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN, AND MAY BE EXAMINED AT, THE
          PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY."

     13.  Investment Representations.  The Stockholder represents, warrants and
          --------------------------
covenants as follows:

          (a)  The Stockholder is not acquiring the Shares based upon any
representation, oral or written, by any person with respect to the future value
of, or

                                       4
<PAGE>

income from, the Shares, but rather upon independent examination and judgment as
to the prospects of the Company.

          (b)  The Stockholder has had complete access to and the opportunity to
review all material documents related to the business of the Company and to ask
answers with respect thereto, has examined all such documents as the Stockholder
has desired as may be necessary for the Stockholder to make an informed decision
with respect to the investment in the Company represented by the Shares, is
familiar with the business and affairs of the Company and realizes that any
purchase of the Shares is a speculative investment and that any possible profit
therefrom is uncertain.

          (c)  The Stockholder has not relied upon the Company or an employee or
agent of the Company with respect to any tax consequences related to the
issuance of the Shares or the disposition of the Shares. The Stockholder assumes
full responsibility for all such tax consequences and the filing of all tax
returns and elections the Stockholder may be required to or find desirable to
file in connection therewith.

          (d)  The Stockholder has sufficient experience in business, financial
and investment matters to be able to evaluate the risks involved in the purchase
of the Shares and to make an informed investment decision with respect to such
purchase.

     14.  Adjustments to Common Stock.  In the event of any stock split, stock
          ---------------------------

exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in
capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other
than a normal cash dividend, the number and class of security subject to this
Award shall be appropriately adjusted by the Company (or substituted Options may
be made, if applicable) to the extent the Board shall determine, in good faith,
that such an adjustment (or substitution) is necessary and appropriate.  If this
Section 14 applies and Section 9 also applies to any event, Section 9 shall be
applicable to such event, and this Section 14 shall not be applicable.

     15.  No Rights as an Employee. No person shall have any claim or right to
          ------------------------
be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving
the Stockholder the right to continued employment or any other relationship with
the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or
otherwise terminate its relationship with the Stockholder free from any
liability or claim under the Plan, except as expressly provided in the
Agreement.
