        (a) pass without objection in the trade under the
    
contract description; and
        (b) in the case of fungible goods, are of fair
    
average quality within the description; and
        (c) are fit for the ordinary purposes for which such
    
goods are used; and
        (d) run, within the variations permitted by the
    
agreement, of even kind, quality and quantity within each unit and among all units involved; and
        (e) are adequately contained, packaged, and labeled
    
as the agreement may require; and
        (f) conform to the promises or affirmations of fact
    
made on the container or label if any.
    (3) Unless excluded or modified (Section 2-316) other implied warranties may arise from course of dealing or usage of trade.
