We use the black hole entropy function to study the effect of Born-Infeld terms on the entropy of extremal black holes in heterotic string theory in four dimensions. We find that after adding a set of higher curvature terms to the effective action, attractor mechanism works and Born-Infeld terms contribute to the stretching of near horizon geometry. In the alpha' -> 0 limit, the solutions of attractor equations for moduli fields and the resulting entropy, are in conformity with the ones for standard two charge black holes.
