Exhibit 4.1
NorthStar Healthcare Income, Inc.

AMENDED AND RESTATED DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN

This DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN (“Plan”) is adopted by NorthStar Healthcare Income, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to its charter (the “Charter”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Charter.

1.Distribution Reinvestment. As agent for the stockholders (“Stockholders”) of the Company who: (i) purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares”) pursuant to the Company’s initial public offering (the “Initial Offering”); or (ii) purchase Shares pursuant to any future offering of the Company (“Future Offering”), and who elect to participate in the Plan (the “Participants”), the Company will apply all distributions declared and paid in respect of the Shares held by each Participant and designated for inclusion in the Plan (the “Distributions”), including Distributions paid with respect to any full or fractional Shares acquired under the Plan, to the purchase of Shares for such Participants directly, if permitted under state securities laws and, if not, through our Dealer Manager or Soliciting Dealers registered in the Participant’s state of residence. A Participant may designate all or a portion of his or her shares for inclusion in the Plan, provided that Distributions will be reinvested only with respect to Shares under the Plan.

2.Effective Date. The effective date of this Plan shall be the tenth day following the delivery of written notice of the adoption of the Plan to Participants.

3.Procedure for Participation. Any Stockholder who has received a Prospectus, as contained in the Company’s registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), may elect to become a Participant by completing and executing the subscription agreement, an enrollment form or any other appropriate authorization form as may be available from the Company, our Dealer Manager or a Soliciting Dealer. Participation in the Plan will begin with the next Distribution payable after acceptance of a Participant’s subscription, enrollment or authorization. Shares will be purchased under the Plan on the date that Distributions are paid by the Company. The Company intends to make Distributions on a monthly basis. If at any time prior to the listing of the Shares on a national stock exchange there is a material change in the Participant’s financial condition, including the failure to meet the minimum income and net worth standards imposed by such Participant’s state of residence for making an investment in the Company, or such Participant cannot make the other representations or warranties set forth in the Prospectus and the subscription agreement, the Company requests that such Participant promptly notify the Company in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, this request in no way shifts the responsibility of the Company’s sponsor, and broker-dealers and registered investment advisors recommending the purchase of Shares, to make every reasonable effort to determine that the purchase of Shares is a suitable and appropriate investment based on information provided by the investor.

4.Purchase of Shares. Participants will acquire Shares from the Company under the Plan (the “Plan Shares”) at a price equal to the Company’s current estimated value per share, or $8.63. Following any subsequent valuation of the Company’s Shares, the shares issued pursuant to the Plan will be priced at 100% of the most recently determined estimated value per share of the Shares. Participants in the Plan may also purchase fractional Shares so that 100% of the Distributions will be used to acquire Shares. However, a Participant will not be able to acquire Plan Shares to the extent that any such purchase would cause such Participant to exceed the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit or the Common Share Ownership Limit as set forth in the Charter or otherwise would cause a violation of the Share ownership restrictions set forth in the Charter.

Shares to be distributed by the Company in connection with the Plan may (but are not required to) be supplied from: (i) the Plan Shares which will be registered with the SEC in connection with the Company’s Initial Offering; (ii) Shares to be registered with the SEC in a Future Offering for use in the Plan (a “Future Registration”); or (iii) Shares purchased by the Company for the Plan in a secondary market (if available) or on a stock exchange (if listed) (collectively, the “Secondary Market”).

Shares purchased in any Secondary Market will be purchased at the then-prevailing market price, which price will be utilized for purposes of issuing Shares in the Plan. Shares acquired by the Company in any Secondary Market or registered in a Future Registration for use in the Plan may be at prices lower or higher than the Share price which will be paid for the Plan Shares pursuant to the Initial Offering.


1



If the Company acquires Shares in any Secondary Market for use in the Plan, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to acquire Shares at the lowest price then reasonably available. However, the Company does not in any respect guarantee or warrant that the Shares so acquired and purchased by the Participant in the Plan will be at the lowest possible price. Further, irrespective of the Company’s ability to acquire Shares in any Secondary Market or to make a Future Offering for Shares to be used in the Plan, the Company is in no way obligated to do either, in its sole discretion.

5.Taxes. REINVESTMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS DOES NOT RELIEVE A PARTICIPANT OF ANY INCOME TAX LIABILITY WHICH MAY BE PAYABLE ON THE DISTRIBUTIONS.

6.Share Certificates. The ownership of the Shares purchased through the Plan will be in book-entry form unless and until the Company issues certificates for its outstanding common stock.

7.Reports. Within 90 days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year, the Company shall provide each Stockholder with an individualized report on such Stockholder’s investment, including the purchase date(s), purchase price and number of Shares owned, as well as the dates of Distributions and amounts of Distributions paid during the prior fiscal year. In addition, the Company shall provide to each Participant an individualized quarterly report during the quarter showing the number of Shares owned as of the last report, the amount of the Distributions since the last report and the number of Shares owned as of the date of the report.

8.Termination by Participant. A Participant may terminate participation in the Plan at any time, without penalty, by delivering to the Company a written notice. Prior to the listing of the Shares on a national stock exchange, any transfer of Shares by a Participant to a non-Participant will terminate participation in the Plan with respect to the transferred Shares. If a Participant terminates Plan participation, the Company will ensure that the terminating Participant’s account will reflect the whole number of shares in such Participant’s account and provide a check for the cash value of any fractional share in such account. Upon termination of Plan participation for any reason, Distributions will be distributed to the Stockholder in cash.

9.Amendment, Suspension or Termination of Plan by the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company may by majority vote (including a majority of the Independent Directors) amend, suspend or terminate the Plan for any reason, except to eliminate a Participant’s ability to withdraw from the Plan, upon ten days written notice to the Participants.

10. Liability of the Company. The Company shall not be liable for any act done in good faith, or for any good faith omission to act, including, without limitation, any claims or liability: (i) arising out of failure to terminate a Participant’s account upon such Participant’s death prior to receipt of notice in writing of such death; or (ii) with respect to the time and the prices at which Shares are purchased or sold for a Participant’s account. To the extent that indemnification may apply to liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of a particular state, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC and certain state securities commissioners, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and, therefore, unenforceable.
