Notes

The target of the outgoing Sequence Flows of this Event Exclusive Gateway must be either a:
- Receive Task or a
- Message or Timer Intermediate Event
If a Message Task is one of the targets of the outgoing Sequence Flow of an Event Exclusive Gateway, then a Message Intermediate Event cannot be the target of the other outgoing Sequence Flows of this Event Exclusive Gateway
