which is what i was thinking of... i agree, the second one *as it is there* reads rather awkwardly. but i don't think "exclaim" is the real culprit.
I agree , the " exclaim " is an accepted form of speech , I feel it is more to do with the use of both exclaimed and frustratedly together .

( But then again , that's a comment from someone who struggled frustratingly to pass English Language and miserably failed English Literature ........ )
