merchantable must be at least such as:

(a) pass without

objection in the trade under the description in the lease agreement;

(b) in the case

of fungible goods, are of fair average quality within the description;

(c) are fit for

the ordinary purposes for which goods of that type are used;

(d) run, within

the variation permitted by the lease agreement, of even kind, quality, and

quantity within each unit and among all units involved;

(e) are

adequately contained, packaged, and labeled as the lease agreement may require;

and

(f) conform to

any promises or affirmations of fact made on the container or label.
