Waterfall Model with hurdle based on dollar amount ?

I'm trying to create a waterfall model as follows:

"1st Hurdle":

LP receives 100% of cash flow UNTIL LP has received their initial investment amount.

**After 1st hurdle has been "unlocked" the distributions will go as follows below**

"2nd Hurdle":

5.5% Cash-on-Cash Pref

PRE-PREF = GP/LP distributed pari pasu of their initial equity investment %'s

POST-PREF = GP/LP distributed 40/60

I've never had experience with a model that used a fixed dollar amount to "unlock" the pref hurdles. Any help would be greatly appreciated !!
