(In thousands)	March 30, 2019			March 31, 2018
Term loan, net of financing fees	$	334,859		$	253,305

Long-term debt	$	322,454		$	59,423

On June 15, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement with certain lenders which provided for a $350.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan") and a $350.0 million revolving loan (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and together with the Term Loan, the "Credit Facilities"). The Credit Facilities expire on June 15, 2023. Interest on the Credit Facilities is established using LIBOR plus 1.13% - 1.75%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio. A portion of the net proceeds of $347.8 million was used to pay down the $253.7 million remaining outstanding balance on the 2012 credit agreement, as amended in fiscal 2014. The remainder of the proceeds were used to support the launch of the NexSys PCS device and for general corporate purposes. At March 30, 2019, $336.9 million was outstanding under the Term Loan and $15.0 million was outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility, both with an effective interest rate of 3.8%. The Company also had $25.1 million of uncommitted operating lines of credit to fund its global operations under which there were no outstanding borrowings as of March 30, 2019.

Under the Credit Facilities, the Company is required to maintain a Consolidated Leverage Ratio not to exceed 3.5:1.0 and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio not to be less than 4.0:1.0 during periods when the Credit Facilities are outstanding. In addition, the Company is required to satisfy these covenants, on a pro forma basis, in connection with any new borrowings (including any letter of credit issuances) on the Revolving Credit Facility as of the time of such borrowings. The Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is calculated as the Consolidated EBITDA divided by Consolidated Interest Expense while the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is calculated as Consolidated Total Debt divided by Consolidated EBITDA. Consolidated EBITDA includes EBITDA adjusted by non-recurring and unusual transactions specifically as defined in the Credit Facilities.

The Credit Facilities also contain usual and customary non-financial affirmative and negative covenants that include certain restrictions with respect to subsequent indebtedness, liens, loans and investments (including acquisitions), financial reporting obligations, mergers, consolidations, dissolutions or liquidation, asset sales, affiliate transactions, change of its business, capital expenditures, share repurchase and other restricted payments. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications set forth in the credit agreement.

Any failure to comply with the financial and operating covenants of the Credit Facilities would prevent the Company from being able to borrow additional funds and would constitute a default, which could result in, among other things, the amounts outstanding including all accrued interest and unpaid fees, becoming immediately due and payable. In addition, the Credit Facilities include customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. As of March 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the covenants.

Commitment Fee

Pursuant to the Credit Facilities, the Company is required to pay, on the last day of each calendar quarter, a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. The commitment fee is subject to a pricing grid based on the Company's Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The commitment fee ranges from 0.150% to 0.275%. The current commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is 0.175%.

Debt Issuance Costs and Interest

Expenses associated with the issuance of the Term Loan were capitalized and are amortized to interest expense over the life of the term loan using the effective interest method. As of March 30, 2019, the $336.9 million term loan balance was netted down by the $2.0 million of remaining debt discount, resulting in a net note payable of $334.9 million.

Interest expense was $13.1 million, $7.7 million and $7.9 million for fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Accrued interest associated with the outstanding debt is included as a component of other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of both March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018, the Company had an insignificant amount of accrued interest associated with the outstanding debt.

The aggregate amount of debt maturing during the next five fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:
