Here's one possibility.  Have them look at the "Feature Demo" app.  The code for that installs on the PC in folder C:\EnterpriseBrowser\Feature-Demo when you install EB.

This app has a bar at the top that looks like a windows app.  The right corner has a button with an X.  When you click that, the app exits.

Here's the button:

It calls this when clicked:
function closeApp() {
  EB.Application.quit();
  }

You can see screenshots of the app here:

Another option could be (I've not tested it yet) to register a callback on the "AppDeactivated" notification and call there the EB.Application.quit(); method:

The idea is to use the EB.Application.setApplicationNotify() method to register a call back for the event:
EB.Application.APP_EVENT_DEACTIVATED
http://ebzebra.github.io/docs/1.4/#api-Application
In this way your callback will be called when the application has been deactivated.

You can find more information on the Application API reference.
