(6) Costs. The costs to be imposed on a defendant under paragraph (2) for

failure to comply with a request to waive service of a summons shall include the costs subsequently incurred in effecting service, together with the costs, including a reasonable attorney’s fee, of any motion required to collect the costs of service. (w) Time Limit for Service. If a defendant is not served within 90 days after the initial pleading is filed, the chancery court--on motion or on its own after notice to the plaintiff--must dismiss the action without prejudice against that defendant or order that service be made within a specified time. But if the plaintiff shows good cause for the failure, the chancery court must extend the time for service for an appropriate period. This subdivision (w) does not apply to service in a foreign country under Rule 4(f). (x) Costs. Any cost of publication or mailing under this rule shall be borne by the party seeking it.
