The transfer of all the rights under the contract to Hybrid Crop Transport Company is both an assignment and a delegation. It is an assignment because Green is transferring the benefits and obligations of the contract to Hybrid. It is a delegation because Green is also transferring its duty to perform under the contract to Hybrid. Therefore, the transfer is an assignment and a delegation.
