Unique deal structure to brace for macroeconomic headwinds

As interest rates rise creating macroeconomic headwinds, what type of deal structure is everyone seeing/using for companies that could be impacted (but not destroyed) by a recession? Are you seeing more or larger % of earnouts / forgivable seller notes? Curious if anyone has witnessed any unique deal structures? Looking for ways to bridge the gap for solid companies expecting some type of recessionary impact, but owned by sellers who still need to sell due to life events (ie: retirement.)
