If exif is undefined that usually means you haven't installed exiftool on your system.

The exif value there is a process which is spawned here: https://github.com/nathanpeck/exiftool/blob/master/lib/exiftool.js#L20

You can debug by attempting to run exiftool -h in your command line. If you see something like:

'bash: exiftool: command not found'

that will confirm that you need to install the exiftool binary.

That's not the problem. I'm passing 1000 files asynchronous. Maybe this could break exiftool, don't you think?
