(d) Warranties on disposition. A sale, lease, license, or other disposition includes the warranties which by operation of law accompany a voluntary disposition of property of the kind subject to the contract.

(e) Disclaimer of warranties. A secured party may disclaim or modify warranties under Subsection (d):
