(B) the recipient has agreed that it will utilize such income for housing related activities in accordance with this chapter.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, any income derived from a regular and customary developers fee for any project that receives a low-income housing tax credit under section 42 of title 26, and that is initially funded using a grant provided under this chapter, shall not be considered to be program income if the developers fee is approved by the State housing credit agency.
