When building an LBO model, why is a 'Cash Sweep' often used in the debt schedule?

  1. To ensure that all excess cash flow is used to prepay debt as quickly as possible, reducing interest expense and increasing exit equity
  2. To provide a fund for paying out special dividends to management during the hold period
  3. To automatically convert senior debt into mezzanine debt over time
  4. To keep the company's cash balance at zero at all times for tax efficiency
