“Borrowing Base” means, at any time, the aggregate loan value of all Borrowing Base Properties, as determined by BOTW in its sole and absolute discretion, using such assumptions as to pricing, discount factors, discount rates, expenses and other factors as BOTW customarily uses as to borrowing-base oil and gas loans at the time such determination is made; provided that the Borrowing Base shall be set at $5,350,000 as of February 19, 2013 and shall thereafter be reduced at the times and in the amounts that the Maximum Loan Amount is reduced.


 


“Borrowing Base Period” means the time period from February 19, 2013 to the Maturity Date.
