An Intermediate Event is an event that occurs after a Process has been started. It will affect the flow of the process,
but will not start or (directly) terminate the process. An Intermediate Event will show where messages or delays are
expected within the Process, disrupt the Normal Flow through exception handling, or show the extra flow required for
compensating a transaction. The Intermediate Event shares the same basic shape of the Start Even and End Event, a
circle, but is drawn with a thin double line.
