How does the 'Cash Sweep' in an LBO typically treat capital expenditures?

  1. CapEx is ignored because it is an investing activity and not an operating one
  2. CapEx is subtracted from operating cash flow before determining the cash available for debt repayment
  3. CapEx is added back to Net Income as a non-cash source of funds
  4. CapEx is funded by issuing new equity to preserve cash for debt
