We have $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.95 percent notes (the "Notes") due April 2021. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 12 and October 12 of each year, and we have an option to call the Notes in whole or in part at any time, subject to a make-whole premium. The Notes agreement is unsecured and does not contain any financial covenants. The amount recorded in long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Notes is equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, net of the unamortized discount. As of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016, the estimated fair value of the Notes was $1.32 billion and $1.29 billion, respectively, and was based on the quoted market price of the Notes (level 1 inputs) as of the last business day of the respective fiscal year.
In January 2014, we entered into a 15 billion Japanese yen, four-year, unsecured term loan due January 2018. Repayments of 2.5 billion Japanese yen were payable on January 15 of each year. A final repayment of 7.5 billion Japanese yen ($65 million as of January 28, 2017) is due on January 15, 2018. In addition, interest is payable at least quarterly based on an interest rate equal to the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate plus a fixed margin. The average interest rate for fiscal 2016 was 1 percent. The carrying amount of the Japan Term Loan as of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 approximated its fair value, as the interest rate varies depending on quoted market rates (level 1 inputs). The Japan Term Loan agreement contains certain requirements, including that the covenants in our $500 million, five-year, unsecured revolving credit facility are upheld. As of January 28, 2017, we were in compliance with all such covenants. Violation of these covenants would result in a default under the Japan Term Loan agreement, which, at the bank's discretion, could require the immediate repayment of outstanding amounts.
In October 2015, we entered into a $400 million unsecured Term Loan. The Term Loan was originally scheduled to mature on October 15, 2016, but had an option to be extended until October 15, 2017. In August 2016, the Company exercised the option to extend the Term Loan. In January 2017, the Term Loan was repaid in full. Interest was payable at least quarterly based on an interest rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a fixed margin. The average interest rate for fiscal 2016 was 1 percent.
