when it is delivered by a person other than its issuer for the purpose of giving to the person
receiving delivery the right to enforce the instrument. (b) Transfer of an instrument, whether
or not the transfer is a negotiation, vests in the transferee any right of the transferor
to enforce the instrument, including any right as a holder in due course, but the transferee
