CTRL-b <arrow key> will navigate panes.  CTRL-b then typing :kill-session will exit the bd-base session.  Note, there is a .tmux.conf file included in bd-base.  If you paste this into your home directory before starting up a bd-base session you will be able to navigate panes via the mouse and end the session by typing CTRL-b then CTRL-c.
