Towel root by geohot will also do the trick on the exceed and a lot of other devices, I don't know of a recovery for it yet though.

Droid 4.0.4 with ZV9 here and this root script worked for me, with a Caveat.
Caveat:
My phone was rooted some time ago with a script called quickroot or something like that. This was back on an older version of firmware, and an older version of android. Needless to say about half a year after it was rooted an Over the Air update came out, and my phone rebooted and updated on it's own. (I didn't turn that "feature" off).
So when I tried to run the attached root script the first time it failed to mount the device, and everything was "read only file system". Googled "read only file system" and I got this general idea: if the device was rooted before and the root access was removed via a security fix the device would need to be factory reset in order to root again.
That being said, I only have one phone to root other than a really old Droid X. But the hard reset did work for my Lucid. I was able to root the phone with the attached script, but I don't have any other phones to test the outcome of my case.
