Answer 1

I was able to get answer for this on the Hyperledger community support and it is also exactly what @mohammadjh mentioned here. The version of composer that I initially had was outdated and getting the latest one resolved the issue. Here is how you get the latest version: npm install -g composer-cli

Answer 2

In composer v0.16.x, async and ES6 keywords are not supported. There is an issue with it. You can check here. If you want to use these keywords you need to upgrade composer to v0.17.4 or higher.
