Will a D&O policy pay for my defense if I'm sued?

A D&O policy will insure directors and officers for non-indemnified loss. In the absence of such coverage, if the company is unable to pay the defense costs associated with a D&O claim, the directors and officers may have to pay with their own funds, jeopardizing their net worth, just to prove their innocence.
