Business, Organization and Basis of Consolidation	1. BUSINESS, ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION Extended Stay America, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on July 8, 2013. ESH Hospitality, Inc. (“ESH REIT”) was formed as a limited liability company in the state of Delaware on September 16, 2010 and was converted to a corporation on November 5, 2013. On November 18, 2013, the Corporation and ESH REIT completed an initial public offering of 32,487,500 Paired Shares for cash consideration of $20.00 per Paired Share, each Paired Share consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Corporation, that is attached to and trades as a single unit with one share of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of ESH REIT. The Corporation owns, and is expected to continue to own, all of the issued and outstanding Class A common stock of ESH REIT, which represents approximately 55% of the outstanding common stock of ESH REIT. Due to its controlling interest in ESH REIT, the Corporation consolidates the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows of ESH REIT. The term, “the Company,” as used herein refers to the Corporation and ESH REIT and their subsidiaries presented on a consolidated basis. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company owned and operated 679 hotel properties in 44 U.S. states, consisting of 75,500 rooms, and three hotels in Canada consisting of 500 rooms. The hotels are operated by subsidiaries of the Corporation (the “Operating Lessees”) pursuant to leases between ESH REIT and the Operating Lessees. The hotels are managed by ESA Management LLC (“ESA Management”), a subsidiary of the Corporation, pursuant to management agreements between ESA Management and the Operating Lessees and a services agreement between ESA Management and ESH REIT. The majority of hotels are operated under the core brand Extended Stay America. Three Canadian hotels operate under the brand Extended Stay Canada and 47 hotels operate under the brand Crossland Economy Studios. The brands are owned by ESH Hospitality Strategies LLC (“ESH Strategies”), a subsidiary of the Corporation, which licenses the brands to the Operating Lessees. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the public owned approximately 29.2% and 28.9%, respectively, of the outstanding Paired Shares, while Centerbridge Partners, L.P., Paulson & Co. Inc. and the Blackstone Group, L.P. and their affiliates (collectively, the “Sponsors”) and senior management, including certain directors, owned approximately 70.8% and 71.1%, respectively, of the outstanding Paired Shares. On June 5, 2015 the Corporation and ESH REIT filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to which, from time to time, (i) the Corporation and ESH REIT may offer and sell an unlimited number of Paired Shares and (ii) certain selling stockholders (the “Selling Shareholders”) may offer and sell up to 142,960,388 Paired Shares. The Selling Shareholders consist solely of entities affiliated with the Sponsors and do not include officers or directors of the Corporation or ESH REIT. As of June 30, 2015, the Corporation, ESH REIT and the Selling Shareholders have not sold any securities registered pursuant to the automatic shelf registration statement. The Company incurred professional fees in connection with the registration of the Paired Shares of approximately $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Basis of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). References to the Company, its financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows refer to the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, including ESH REIT. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, third party equity interests in ESH REIT consist of all of the shares of Class B common stock of ESH REIT, which represent approximately 45% of ESH REIT’s total common equity, and 125 shares of preferred stock of ESH REIT. These interests, which are not owned by the Corporation, are presented as noncontrolling interests. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Interim Presentation— The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2015, the results of the Company’s operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and changes in equity and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations, including the impact of our hotel reinvestment program. Use of Estimates Property and Equipment Management assesses whether there has been impairment of the value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of a hotel property to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by each hotel property. Impairment is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows, including proceeds from disposition, are less than the carrying value of the hotel property. To the extent that a hotel property is impaired, the excess carrying amount of the hotel property over its estimated fair value is charged to operating earnings. Fair value is determined based upon the discounted cash flows of the hotel property, quoted market prices or independent appraisals, as considered necessary. No impairment charges were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014 (see Note 4). The estimation of future undiscounted cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies upon assumptions regarding current and future economic and market conditions. If such conditions change, then an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of each hotel property could occur in a future period in which conditions change.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of accounting for contingent rental payments under contractual lease arrangements. Use of Estimates Property and Equipment Management assesses whether there has been impairment of the value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of a group of hotel properties (groups of hotel properties align with hotels as they are grouped under ESH REIT’s leases) to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the group of hotel properties. Impairment is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows, including proceeds from disposition, are less than the carrying value of a group of hotel properties. To the extent that a group of hotel properties is impaired, the excess carrying amount of the group of hotel properties over its estimated fair value is charged to operating earnings. Fair value is determined based upon the discounted cash flows of a group of hotel properties, quoted market prices or independent appraisals, as considered necessary. No impairment charges were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014 (see Note 4). The estimation of future undiscounted cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies upon assumptions regarding current and future economic and market conditions. If such conditions change, then an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of a group of hotel properties could occur in a future period in which conditions change. Revenue Recognition Lease rental payments received prior to ESH REIT rendering services are included in unearned rental revenues from Extended Stay America, Inc. on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contingent rental revenues, specifically percentage rental revenues related to Operating Lessee hotel revenues, are recognized once services have been rendered (i.e., percentage rental revenue thresholds have been achieved) and such amounts are fixed and determinable.

(2) ESH REIT is a counterparty to an interest rate cap on one-month LIBOR at 3.0% with a notional amount of approximately $348.0 million and a maturity date the same as that of Component A of the 2012 Mortgage Loan. (3) ESH REIT has the option to extend the maturity date for two consecutive one-year periods, subject to limited conditions. (4) As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the 2014 Term Loan is presented net of an unaccreted discount of approximately $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. (5) The 2014 Term Loan includes a LIBOR floor of 0.75%. (6) There is no scheduled amortization on the 2014 Term Loan; however, subject to certain exceptions, mandatory prepayments are required up to 50% of Excess Cash Flow based on ESH REIT’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, each as defined. ESH REIT made a mandatory prepayment of approximately $8.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015. An additional mandatory prepayment may be required during the three months ending March 31, 2016 based on the calculation of the Excess Cash Flow for the year ending December 31, 2015. (7) Each revolving credit facility is subject to a one-year extension option. (8) ESH REIT is able to request to increase the facility to an amount up to $350.0 million at any time, subject to certain criteria. On May 15, 2015, using the proceeds from its 2025 Notes (as defined below), ESH REIT repaid $500.0 million of the outstanding balance under its 2012 Mortgage Loan (as defined below), which consisted of $318.0 million of Component A and $182.0 million of Component B. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, ESH REIT incurred approximately $2.3 million of debt extinguishment costs in connection with the partial repayment of the 2012 Mortgage Loan, consisting of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $1.7 million and other costs of approximately $0.6 million. On June 23, 2014, using principally all of the net proceeds from its 2014 Term Loan (as defined below), ESH REIT repaid the remaining outstanding balance of $365.0 million of its 2012 Mezzanine Loans (as defined below). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, ESH REIT incurred approximately $9.4 million of debt extinguishment costs in connection with the repayment of the 2012 Mezzanine Loans, consisting of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $5.1 million and prepayment penalties and other costs of approximately $4.3 million. Debt extinguishment costs are included as a component of net interest expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. ESH REIT Mortgage Loans On November 30, 2012, ESH REIT entered into a $2.52 billion mortgage loan comprised of three components (the “2012 Mortgage Loan”). On May 15, 2015, ESH REIT repaid $500.0 million of its 2012 Mortgage Loan using the proceeds from its 2025 Notes, which reduced the monthly required interest-only payments from approximately $7.9 million to approximately $6.8 million. Principal amounts, interest rates and maturities of components of the 2012 Mortgage Loan are included in the table above. ESH REIT has the option to extend the maturity date of Component A for up to two consecutive one-year periods, subject to certain conditions. The 2015 extension conditions include adequate written notice of such extension, the extension or renewal of an interest rate cap, and the requirement that none of the borrowing entities be in default, as defined. The 2016 extension conditions include the same conditions as the 2015 extension, as well as the requirement of an Extension Debt Yield, as defined, of at least 17.5%. Substantially all of ESH REIT’s hotel properties serve as collateral for the 2012 Mortgage Loan. Under certain limited circumstances, losses related to the 2012 Mortgage Loan and costs incurred by the lenders are guaranteed by certain of the Corporation’s subsidiaries up to an aggregate liability of $252.0 million. The occurrence of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, a Debt Yield Trigger Event (a Debt Yield, as defined, of less than 9.0%), or a Guarantor Bankruptcy triggers a Cash Trap Event, each as defined. During the period of a Cash Trap Event, any excess cash flow, after all monthly requirements (including the payment of management fees and operating expenses) are fully funded, is held by the loan service agent as additional collateral for the 2012 Mortgage Loan. As of June 30, 2015, none of these events had occurred. ESH REIT Term Loan Facility On June 23, 2014, ESH REIT entered into a $375.0 million term loan facility (the “2014 Term Loan”). ESH REIT used principally all of the 2014 Term Loan net proceeds to repay the outstanding balance on its 2012 Mezzanine Loans of $365.0 million. Subject to certain conditions, the principal amount of the 2014 Term Loan may be increased from time to time up to an amount which would not cause the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined, to exceed 5.25 to 1.0. The 2014 Term Loan matures on June 24, 2019 and bears interest at a rate equal to (i) LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.75%) plus 4.25%, or (ii) a base rate (determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime lending rate, (2) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.5%, or (3) the one-month adjusted LIBOR rate (subject to a floor of 0.75%) plus 1.0%) plus 3.25%. There is no scheduled amortization on the 2014 Term Loan; however, subject to certain exceptions, mandatory prepayments are required up to 50% of Excess Cash Flow, based on ESH REIT’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, each as defined. For the period from July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, ESH REIT’s Excess Cash Flow, as defined, totaled approximately $17.1 million, which required ESH REIT to make a mandatory prepayment of approximately $8.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015. An additional mandatory prepayment may be required during the three months ending March 31, 2016 based on the calculation of the Excess Cash Flow for the year ending December 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding balance on the 2014 Term Loan was approximately $365.0 million and $373.3 million, respectively, net of an unaccreted discount of approximately $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Obligations under the 2014 Term Loan are guaranteed by certain of ESH REIT’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, with certain exceptions, including certain entities that may not be pledged pursuant to the 2012 Mortgage Loan. The 2014 Term Loan is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of ESH REIT and the guarantors under the facility on a pari passu basis with its obligations under the ESH REIT Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), with certain exceptions, including certain entities that may not be pledged pursuant to the 2012 Mortgage Loan. The 2014 Term Loan may be repaid prior to its maturity, subject to the following prepayment penalties: (a) on or after June 24, 2015 but prior to December 24, 2015, an amount equal to 2.0% of the aggregate principal amount repaid and (b) on or after December 24, 2015 but prior to June 24, 2016, an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount repaid. Repayments on or after June 24, 2016 require no prepayment penalty. During a Trigger Event, an Adjusted Trigger Event, a Default or an Event of Default, each as defined, ESH REIT is restricted from making cash distributions, subject to certain exceptions. As of June 30, 2015, none of these events had occurred. ESH REIT Senior Notes On May 15, 2015, ESH REIT issued $500.0 million of 5.25% senior notes due in 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) under an indenture (the “Indenture”) with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, at a price equal to 100% of their par value in a private placement pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. ESH REIT used the proceeds and cash on hand to repay $500.0 million of the outstanding balance under its 2012 Mortgage Loan. The 2025 Notes mature on May 1, 2025 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning November 1, 2015. In connection with the issuance of the 2025 Notes, ESH REIT incurred costs of approximately $11.5 million, inclusive of underwriter, credit rating agency and attorney fees and other costs. These issuance costs are included in deferred financing costs in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 and will be amortized to net interest expense over the term of the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis by each of ESH REIT’s subsidiaries that guarantee ESH REIT’s obligations under the 2014 Term Loan and the ESH REIT Revolving Credit Facility. The 2025 Notes rank equally in right of payment with ESH REIT’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, and senior in right of payment to all future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The 2025 Notes are effectively junior to any of ESH REIT’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. ESH REIT may redeem the 2025 Notes at any time on or after May 1, 2020, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 102.625% of the principal amount, declining annually to 100% of the principal amount from May 1, 2023 and thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to May 1, 2020, ESH REIT may redeem the 2025 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a “make-whole” premium, as defined in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to May 1, 2018, subject to certain conditions, ESH REIT may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes at a redemption price equal to 105.250% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, provided 65% of the original amount of the principal remains outstanding after the occurrence of each such redemption. Upon a Change of Control, as defined, holders of the 2025 Notes have the right to require ESH REIT to redeem the 2025 Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Indenture contains a number of customary covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit ESH REIT’s ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, create certain liens, pay dividends or distributions, make certain investments and other payments, enter into affiliate transactions, sell assets or merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all of their assets, among other things. ESH REIT was in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Indenture as of June 30, 2015. Revolving Credit Facilities ESH REIT Revolving Credit Facility— ESH REIT’s obligations under the ESH REIT Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by its existing and future and indirect domestic subsidiaries, with certain exceptions, including certain entities that may not provide guarantees pursuant to the 2012 Mortgage Loan.

There is no scheduled amortization on the 2014 Term Loan; however, subject to certain exceptions, mandatory prepayments are required up to 50% of Excess Cash Flow, based on ESH REIT’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, each as defined. For the period from July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, ESH REIT’s Excess Cash Flow, as defined, totaled approximately $17.1 million, which required ESH REIT to make a mandatory prepayment of approximately $8.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015. An additional mandatory prepayment may be required during the three months ending March 31, 2016 based on the calculation of the Excess Cash Flow for the year ending December 31, 2015.

In connection with the issuance of the 2025 Notes, ESH REIT incurred costs of approximately $11.5 million, inclusive of underwriter, credit rating agency and attorney fees and other costs. These issuance costs are included in deferred financing costs in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 and will be amortized to net interest expense over the term of the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis by each of ESH REIT’s subsidiaries that guarantee ESH REIT’s obligations under the 2014 Term Loan and the ESH REIT Revolving Credit Facility. The 2025 Notes rank equally in right of payment with ESH REIT’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, and senior in right of payment to all future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The 2025 Notes are effectively junior to any of ESH REIT’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. ESH REIT may redeem the 2025 Notes at any time on or after May 1, 2020, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 102.625% of the principal amount, declining annually to 100% of the principal amount from May 1, 2023 and thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Upon a Change of Control, as defined, holders of the 2025 Notes have the right to require ESH REIT to redeem the 2025 Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Indenture contains a number of customary covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit ESH REIT’s ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, create certain liens, pay dividends or distributions, make certain investments and other payments, enter into affiliate transactions, sell assets or merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all of their assets, among other things.

ESH REIT incurs a fee of 0.35% or 0.175% on the unutilized revolver balance, based on the outstanding amount under the facility, and a fee of 3.125% on outstanding letters of credit due on the last day of each quarter.

Income Taxes	8. INCOME TAXES The Company’s taxable income includes the taxable income of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and distribution income related to its ownership of approximately 55% of ESH REIT. ESH REIT has elected to be taxed and expects to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). A REIT is a legal entity that holds real estate assets and is generally not subject to federal and state income taxes. In order to maintain qualification as a REIT, ESH REIT is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to its shareholders each year. In addition, ESH REIT must meet a number of complex organizational and operational requirements. If ESH REIT were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it would be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and generally would be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable years following the year during which it lost its REIT qualification. Even in qualifying as a REIT, ESH REIT may be subject to state and local taxes in certain jurisdictions, and is subject to federal income and excise taxes on undistributed income. In 2014, ESH REIT distributed more than 100% of its taxable income and therefore, incurred no federal income tax. In the future, ESH REIT intends to distribute approximately 95% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gains. Accordingly, ESH REIT is expected to be subject to income taxes on approximately 5% of its future taxable income. As a result, the Company has recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the fact that an estimated 5% of ESH REIT’s future taxable income is expected to be subject to tax. As of June 30, 2015, the majority of the deferred tax assets on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet relate to net operating loss carryforwards of ESH REIT that expire in 2032. As of December 31, 2014, the deferred tax assets are included in the net deferred tax liability balance on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded a provision for federal, state and foreign income taxes of approximately $17.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an effective rate of approximately 21.6%, as compared with a provision of approximately $14.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an effective rate of approximately 23.4%. The Company recorded a provision for federal, state and foreign income taxes of approximately $26.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an effective rate of approximately 22.5%, as compared with a provision of approximately $19.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an effective rate of approximately 23.6%. The Company’s effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to ESH REIT’s status as a REIT under the provisions of the Code. As previously discussed, approximately 55% of ESH REIT’s distributions are subject to corporate income tax. The Company’s income tax returns for the years 2011 to present are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities.

Income Taxes	6. INCOME TAXES ESH REIT has elected to be taxed and expects to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). A REIT is a legal entity that holds real estate assets and is generally not subject to federal and state income taxes. In order to maintain qualification as a REIT, ESH REIT is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to its shareholders each year. In addition, ESH REIT must meet a number of complex organizational and operational requirements. If ESH REIT were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it would be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and generally would be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable years following the year during which it lost its REIT qualification.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the majority of the deferred tax assets on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets relate to net operating loss carryforwards that expire in 2032. ESH REIT recorded a provision for state and foreign income taxes of approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an effective rate of approximately 0.7%, as compared with a provision of approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an effective rate of approximately 2.9%. ESH REIT recorded a provision for state and foreign income taxes of approximately $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an effective rate of approximately 0.7%, as compared with a provision of approximately $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an effective rate of approximately 2.9%. ESH REIT’s effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% due to its status as a REIT under the provisions of the Code. ESH REIT’s income tax returns for the years 2011 to present are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities.

Equity-Based Compensation

Equity-Based Compensation	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2015
Equity-Based Compensation	10. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION The Corporation and ESH REIT each maintain a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”), as amended and approved by their shareholders. Under the LTIPs, the Corporation and ESH REIT may issue to eligible employees or directors restricted stock (i.e., Paired Share) awards, restricted stock units or other equity-based awards with service, performance or market vesting conditions. The aggregate number of Paired Shares that may be issued under the LTIPs shall not exceed 8.0 million, of which no more than 4.0 million may be granted as incentive stock options. Each of the Corporation’s and ESH REIT’s LTIP has a share reserve of an equivalent number of shares of Corporation common stock and Class B common stock of ESH REIT, respectively. As of June 30, 2015, 7,056,099 Paired Shares were available for future issuance under the LTIPs. Equity-based compensation cost is recognized by amortizing the grant-date fair value of equity-based awards, less estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award. A portion of the grant-date fair value of all equity-based awards is allocated to a share of common stock of the Corporation and a portion is allocated to a share of Class B common stock of ESH REIT. Total recognized equity-based compensation during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $2.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and approximately $4.9 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2015, there was approximately $14.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding equity-based awards, which is expected to be recognized subsequent to June 30, 2015 over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.5 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for actual forfeitures. Restricted stock award and restricted stock unit (collectively, “RSA/RSU”) activity during the six months ended June 30, 2015, was as follows: Weighted- Average Number of Grant-Date RSAs/RSUs Fair Value (in thousands) per RSA/RSU Outstanding RSAs/RSUs - January 1, 2015 1,071 $ 16.43 RSAs/RSUs granted in 2015 438 $ 19.32 RSAs/RSUs settled in 2015 (390 ) $ 15.03 RSAs/RSUs forfeited in 2015 (25 ) $ 17.13 Outstanding RSAs/RSUs - June 30, 2015 1,094 $ 18.07 Vested RSAs/RSUs - June 30, 2015 1 $ 21.94 Nonvested RSAs/RSUs - June 30, 2015 1,093 $ 18.07 Service-Based Awards The Corporation granted 354,048 service-based awards during the six months ended June 30, 2015 with a grant-date fair value per award between $19.07 and $19.74. ESH REIT granted 7,552 service-based awards during the six months ended June 30, 2015 with a grant-date fair value per award of $19.74. The grant-date fair value of awards with service vesting conditions is based on the closing price of a Paired Share on the date of grant. Service-based awards vest over a period of two- to four-years, subject to the grantee’s continued employment or service. Performance-Based Awards The Corporation granted 19,126 awards with performance vesting conditions during the six months ended June 30, 2015 with a grant-date fair value per award of $19.07 to certain executive officers. The grant-date fair value of awards with performance vesting conditions is based on the closing price of a Paired Share on the date of grant, adjusted to reflect the probability of the achievement of performance targets defined in the agreements. These awards vest over a one-year period, subject to the grantee’s continued employment, with the ability to earn a range of 0% to 200% of the awarded number of Paired Shares based on linear interpolation of the achievement of performance targets defined in the agreements. As of June 30, 2015, the Corporation expects that the awards with performance vesting conditions will be satisfied at their target level. The Corporation granted 57,388 awards with market vesting conditions during the six months ended June 30, 2015 with a grant-date fair value per award of $20.76 to certain executive officers. The grant-date fair value of awards with market vesting conditions is based on a valuation, typically performed by a third party, which uses a Monte Carlo simulation model that includes assumptions related to the future performance of a Paired Share versus shares of other publicly traded lodging companies identified in the award agreements. Those assumptions include expected volatility, risk-free interest rates and dividend reinvestment. These awards vest over a three-year period, subject to the grantee’s continued employment, with the ability to earn a range of 0% to 150% of the awarded number of Paired Shares based on linear interpolation of the shareholder return of a Paired Share versus the shareholder return of other publicly traded lodging companies defined in the agreements.

Equity-Based Compensation	9. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION The Corporation and ESH REIT each maintain a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”), as amended and approved by their shareholders. Under the LTIPs, the Corporation and ESH REIT may issue to eligible employees or directors restricted stock (i.e., Paired Share) awards, restricted stock units or other equity-based awards with service, performance or market vesting conditions. The aggregate number of Paired Shares that may be issued under the LTIPs shall not exceed 8.0 million, of which no more than 4.0 million may be granted as incentive stock options. Each of the Corporation’s and ESH REIT’s LTIP has a share reserve of an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Corporation and Class B common stock of ESH REIT. As of June 30, 2015, 7,056,099 Paired Shares were available for future issuance under the LTIPs. Equity-based compensation cost is recognized by amortizing the grant-date fair value of equity-based awards, less estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award. A portion of the grant-date fair value of all equity-based awards is allocated to a share of common stock of the Corporation and a portion is allocated to a share of Class B common stock of ESH REIT. Although ESH REIT recognizes equity-based compensation cost of awards under its LTIP based on the fair value of a Paired Share on the grant date, the cost related to the portion of the grant-date fair value with respect to a share of common stock of the Corporation is recorded as a payable due to the Corporation. ESH REIT will have to pay more or less for a share of the Corporation common stock than it would have otherwise paid at the time of grant as a result of regular market changes in the value of a Paired Share between the time of grant and the time of settlement. An increase in the value allocated to a share of common stock of the Corporation due to market changes in the value of a Paired Share between the time of grant and the time of settlement is recorded as a distribution to the Corporation. A decrease in the value allocated to a share of common stock of the Corporation due to market changes in the value of a Paired Share between the time of grant and the time of settlement is recorded as additional paid in capital from the Corporation. Cost related to the portion of the grant-date fair value with respect to a share of Class B common stock of ESH REIT is recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital, a component of equity. As prescribed by the services agreement described in Note 7, ESH REIT and its subsidiaries reimburse the Corporation for expenses related to its employees or directors that participate in the Corporation’s LTIP. Such charges were approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and approximately $0.7 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Total recognized equity-based compensation for awards issued under ESH REIT’s LTIP was approximately $0.3 million (which includes approximately $0.2 million paid or due to the Corporation) and $0.3 million (which includes approximately $0.2 million paid or due to the Corporation) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and approximately $0.6 million (which includes approximately $0.4 million paid or due to the Corporation) and $0.7 million (which includes approximately $0.4 million paid or due to the Corporation) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2015, there was approximately $0.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding equity-based awards, which is expected to be recognized subsequent to June 30, 2015 over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.8 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for actual forfeitures. ESH REIT’s restricted stock award and restricted stock unit (collectively, “RSA/RSU”) activity during the six months ended June 30, 2015, was as follows: Weighted- Average Number of Grant-Date RSAs/RSUs Fair Value (in thousands) per RSA/RSU Outstanding RSAs/RSUs - January 1, 2015 600 $ 10.38 RSAs/RSUs granted in 2015 8 $ 19.74 RSAs/RSUs settled in 2015 (235 ) $ 8.94 RSAs/RSUs forfeited in 2015 (10 ) $ 7.89 Outstanding RSAs/RSUs - June 30, 2015 363 $ 11.57 Vested RSAs/RSUs - June 30, 2015 — $ — Nonvested RSAs/RSUs - June 30, 2015 363 $ 11.57 ESH REIT granted 7,552 service-based awards during the six months ended June 30, 2015 with a grant-date fair value per award of $19.74. The grant-date fair value of awards with service vesting conditions is based on the closing price of a Paired Share on the date of grant. Service-based awards vest over a period of two- to four-years, subject to the grantee’s continued employment or service. For all LTIP awards granted by the Corporation, ESH REIT will receive compensation for the fair value of the Class B shares on the date of issuance of such Class B shares by ESH REIT. As of June 30, 2015, the Corporation had issued a total of 913,095 restricted stock (i.e., Paired Share) units, of which 182,310 were forfeited or settled, under which ESH REIT is counterparty and is expected to issue, and be compensated in cash for, 730,785 shares of Class B common stock of ESH REIT in future periods.

As of June 30, 2014, no percentage rental revenue thresholds had been achieved and therefore ESH REIT did not recognize any percentage rental revenues for the three or six months ended June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2015, unearned rental revenues related to percentage rent, as defined, were approximately $103.7 million, of which approximately $74.0 million had been received and approximately $29.7 million were outstanding and included as rents receivable on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2014, because all percentage rental revenue thresholds had been achieved for the year, no unearned contingent rental revenues existed, and approximately $2.0 million was outstanding and included as rents receivable on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2014, ESH REIT recorded unearned rental revenues related to prepaid January 2015 fixed minimum rents of approximately $28.1 million. As of June 30, 2015, ESH REIT had not received fixed minimum rent payments related to future periods and therefore had no unearned rental revenues related to future minimum rents.

Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Management assesses whether there has been impairment of the value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of a hotel property to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by each hotel property. Impairment is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows, including proceeds from disposition, are less than the carrying value of the hotel property. To the extent that a hotel property is impaired, the excess carrying amount of the hotel property over its estimated fair value is charged to operating earnings. Fair value is determined based upon the discounted cash flows of the hotel property, quoted market prices or independent appraisals, as considered necessary. No impairment charges were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014 (see Note 4). The estimation of future undiscounted cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies upon assumptions regarding current and future economic and market conditions. If such conditions change, then an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of each hotel property could occur in a future period in which conditions change.
