The Certificate should list Talamas Company Inc. as the Certificate Holder and state that the Certificate Holder is Loss Payee and Additional Insured with respect to rented or leased equipment.

If you do not have insurance, you may purchase it through Talamas rental insurance through The Film Emporium.
