Within the context of the entropic principle, we consider the entropy ofsupersymmetric black holes in N=2 supergravity theories in four dimensions withhigher-curvature interactions, and we discuss its maximization at points inmoduli space at which an excess of hypermultiplets becomes massless. We findthat the gravitational coupling function F^(1) enhances the maximization atthese points in moduli space. In principle, this enhancement may be modified bythe contribution from higher F^(g)-couplings. We show that this is indeed thecase for the resolved conifold by resorting to the non-perturbative expressionfor the topological free energy.Comment: 22 pages, 8 figures, AMS-LaTe
