Departure of Director; Election of Director

On June 27, 2008, the Board of Directors of Quality Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) (i) elected Philip N. Kaplan to fill the vacancy on the Board upon the termination of Board service by Louis Silverman, the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, and (ii) appointed Mr. Kaplan, upon his joining the Board, to the Board’s Audit Committee, Nominating Committee, Compensation Committee and Independent Directors Compensation Committee with each such committee being expanded by one seat.   On that same day, in order to effect a more orderly transition and to promote efficient Board process, the Company and Louis Silverman agreed to Mr. Silverman’s resignation from the Company’s Board of Directors effective June 30, 2008.  Accordingly, Mr. Kaplan shall fill Mr. Silverman’s seat on the Company’s Board on that date.  As a non-employee director, Mr. Kaplan shall participate in the Company’s outside director compensation program.

Mr. Kaplan is Chief Executive Officer of Deer Valley Ventures, LLC, a managed hosting and IT server virtualization technology company. Prior to his service with Deer Valley Ventures, Mr. Kaplan served as Chief Strategy Officer of Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), which he joined through its merger with VitalStream Holdings, Inc (NASDAQ: VSTH) in February 2007. Mr. Kaplan co-founded VitalStream, Inc. in 2000 and served as its Chief Operating Officer and a member of its Board of Directors from that time until the merger with Internap Network Services Corporation was completed. In 2004, he was named President of VitalStream.

Prior to starting VitalStream, Mr. Kaplan co-founded AnaServe, Inc. in 1995, an early e-commerce web hosting company. He served as the company’s Senior Vice President and a member of its Board of Directors until 1999. AnaServe was acquired by Concentric Network Corp. (NASDAQ: CNCX) in 1998.

Mr. Kaplan currently serves as a Board Member of Surfline, Inc, a privately held online action sports company. Mr. Kaplan attended the University of California, Davis from which he received a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, with a minor in Russian language.

It is anticipated that Mr. Silverman will continue in his capacities as President and Chief Executive Officer until his stated resignation date of August 16, 2008.
