Exit Point
An exit point is a pseudostate that marks the point of exit from the region in a state machine in which it is enclosed. It may have one or more incoming transitions from vertices in the same region. An exit point can only be defined for the top most regions of a state machine and not for regions owned by other regions. Each topmost region of a state machine can contain any number of exit points.
Explanation
A state machine can contain regions and the topmost of these regions can each contain any number of exit points. An exit point is used to indicate the finishing point for the region and may have any number of incoming transitions (lines) from other vertices in the state machine.
An entry point is related to an exit point because they are paired elements and typically appear together one used to mark the point of exit and the other marking the point of entry.
