Retained excess cash flow concept in loan agreements

Hello monkeys,

working on raising a lev fin facility for one of our acquisitions and am getting a little confused by the retained excess cash flow offsets (from capex) and excess cash flow - can any experienced lev fin bankers please share your thoughts on 1. what items should count towards / be excluded from excess cash flow in loan docs 2. Should excess cash flow or retained excess cash flow be used as a capex offset 3. What other cash concepts exist in loan agreements and how are these typically used?

Thanks all
