Not all creatures exert as they attack, such as Angel of Condemnation. Creatures that do exert as part of combat all exert as that creature attacks, such as Ahn-Crop Champion. This is an additional, optional cost for that creature to attack (701.38d).

701.38d“You may exert [this creature] as it attacks” is an optional cost to attack (see rule 508.1g). Some objects with this static ability have a triggered ability that triggers “when you do” printed in the same paragraph. These abilities are linked. (See rule 607.2g.)
