New Jersey § 12a:2-210

§ 12a:2-210.

(1) A party may perform his duty through a delegate unless otherwise agreed or unless

the other party has a substantial interest in having his original promisor perform

or control the acts required by the contract. No delegation of performance relieves the party delegating of any duty to perform

or any liability for breach. (2) Except as otherwise provided in 12A:9-406, unless otherwise agreed , all rights of either seller or buyer can be assigned except where the assignment

would materially change the duty of the other party, or increase materially the burden

or risk imposed on him by his contract, or impair materially his chance of obtaining

return performance. A right to damages for breach of the whole contract or a right arising out of the

assignor's due performance of his entire obligation can be assigned despite agreement

otherwise. (3) Unless the circumstances indicate the contrary a prohibition of assignment of

“the contract” is to be construed as barring only the delegation to the assignee of

the assignor's performance. The creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in the

seller's interest under a contract is not a transfer that materially changes the duty

of or increases materially the burden or risk imposed on the buyer or impairs materially

the buyer's chance of obtaining return performance within the purview of subsection

(2) of this section unless, and then only to the extent that, enforcement actually

results in a delegation of material performance of the seller. Even in that event, the creation, attachment, perfection, and enforcement of the

security interest remain effective, but (a) the seller is liable to the buyer for

damages caused by the delegation to the extent that the damages could not reasonably

be prevented by the buyer, and (b) a court having jurisdiction may grant other appropriate

relief, including cancellation of the contract for sale or an injunction against enforcement

of the security interest or consummation of the enforcement. (4) An assignment of “the contract” or of “all my rights under the contract” or an

assignment in similar general terms is an assignment of rights and unless the language

or the circumstances (as in an assignment for security) indicate the contrary, it

is a delegation of performance of the duties of the assignor and its acceptance by

the assignee constitutes a promise by him to perform those duties. This promise is enforceable by either the assignor or the other party to the original

contract. (5) The other party may treat any assignment which delegates performance as creating

reasonable grounds for insecurity and may without prejudice to his rights against

the assignor demand assurances from the assignee (12A:2-609).
