                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

      This Agreement is made as of the 26th day of September 2002, by and
between Netegrity, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation), and Ralph B.
Wagner (the "Indemnitee"), a director of the Corporation.

      WHEREAS, it is essential to the Corporation to retain and attract as
directors the most capable persons available, and

      WHEREAS, the substantial increase in corporate litigation subjects
directors to expensive litigation risks at the same time that the availability
of directors' and officers' liability insurance has been severely limited, and

      WHEREAS, it is now and has always been the express policy of the
Corporation to indemnify its directors, and

      WHEREAS, the Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the
Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws and insurance as adequate in
the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve or continue to serve
as a director without adequate protection, and

      WHEREAS, the Corporation desires the Indemnitee to serve, or continue to
serve, as a director of the Corporation.

      NOW THEREFORE, the Corporation and the Indemnitee do hereby agree as
follows:

      1. Agreement to Serve. The Indemnitee agrees to serve or continue to serve
as a director of the Corporation for so long as the Indemnitee is duly elected
or until such time as the Indemnitee tenders a resignation in writing.

      2. Third Party Actions. The Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnitee if
the Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (each, a "Proceeding") (other than an
action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in
connection with such Proceeding.

      3. Derivative Actions. The Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnitee if
the Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its
favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee
in connection with the defense or settlement of such Proceeding.

<PAGE>

      4. Expenses. To the extent that the Indemnitee has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Sections 2 and
3, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Indemnitee shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith.

      5. Authorization and Request for Indemnification.

            (a) Any indemnification requested by the Indemnitee under Section 2
hereof shall be made no later than ten (10) days after receipt of the written
request of the Indemnitee, unless it shall have been adjudicated by a court of
final determination that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of
the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

            (b) Any indemnification requested by the Indemnitee under Section 3
hereof shall be made no later than ten (10) days after receipt of the written
request of the Indemnitee, unless it shall have been adjudicated by a court of
final determination that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a
manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the Corporation, the Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged to
be liable to the Company by a court of competent jurisdiction due to willful
misconduct of a culpable nature in the performance of the Indemnitee's duty to
the Corporation unless and only to the extent that any court in which such
Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that despite the
adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as
such court shall deem proper.

      6. Advance Payment of Expenses. Subject to Section 5 above, the
Corporation shall advance all expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection
with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any Proceeding to which
the Indemnitee is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the
fact that the Indemnitee is or was an agent of the Corporation. The Indemnitee
hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent
that, it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to
be indemnified by the Corporation. The advances to be made hereunder shall be
paid by the Corporation to or on behalf of the Indemnitee within 30 days
following delivery of a written request therefor by the Indemnitee to the
Corporation.

      7. Remedies. The right to indemnification or advancement of expenses as
provided by this Agreement shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court
of competent jurisdiction. Unless otherwise required by law, the burden of
proving that indemnification is not appropriate shall be on the Corporation. The
Indemnitee's expenses reasonably incurred in connection with successfully
establishing the Indemnitee's right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in
any such Proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

      8. Partial Indemnification. If the Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a
portion of the expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in
connection with any Proceeding but not, however, for the total amount thereof,
the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of

<PAGE>

such expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement to
which the Indemnitee is entitled.

      9. Subrogation. In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the
Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the
rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and
take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such
documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce
such rights.

      10. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate
upon the later of (a) six years after the date that the Indemnitee shall have
ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation or, at the request
of the Corporation, as a director, officer, partner, trustee, member, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited
liability company or other enterprise or (b) the final termination of all
Proceedings pending on the date set forth in clause (a) in respect of which the
Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses
hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by the Indemnitee pursuant to
Paragraph 7 of this Agreement relating thereto.

      11. Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. The indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which the Indemnitee may be entitled under the
Certification of Incorporation, the By-Laws, any other agreement, any vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, the General Corporation Law of
Delaware, any other law (common or statutory), or otherwise, both as to action
in the Indemnitee's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding office for the Corporation. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to prohibit the Corporation from purchasing and maintaining insurance, at
its expense, to protect itself or the Indemnitee against any expense, liability
or loss incurred by it or the Indemnitee in any such capacity, or arising out of
the Indemnitee's status as such, whether or not the Indemnitee would be
indemnified against such expense, liability or loss under this Agreement;
provided that the Corporation shall not be liable under this Agreement to make
any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent
that the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any
insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

      12. No Special Rights. Nothing herein shall confer upon the Indemnitee any
right to continue to serve as an officer or director of the Corporation for any
period of time or at any particular rate of compensation.

      13. Savings Clause. If this Agreement or any portion thereof shall be
invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the
Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee as to expenses,
judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any
Proceeding to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this
Agreement that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law.

      14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall constitute the original.

      15. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the

time to reflect changes in Delaware law or for other reasons. No supplement,
modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in
writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of
this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other
provision hereof nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

                                                                    Exhibit 10.7

                              CONSULTING AGREEMENT

      This Consulting Agreement is between Thomas M. Palka (the "Consultant")
and Netegrity, Inc. (the "Company"). Capitalized terms herein shall have the
same meaning as in the Transition Agreement between Netegrity and Consultant
dated September 6, 2002.

      1. CONSULTANT'S SERVICES. The Consultant shall act as a consultant to the
Company commencing on the first day after the Resignation Date and ending one
year thereafter unless terminated earlier as provided for in Section 4 below
(the "Consultancy Period"). No compensation payments will be made under Section
2 of this Consulting Agreement until the Consultancy Period has commenced. The
Consultant shall, at such times and such places as the Company may reasonably
request, provide consulting services and advice relating to, among other things,
the organization, business objectives and policies of the Company (the
"Services"). However, the Company will have no obligation whatsoever to make any
request for the Services during the term of this Consulting Agreement. In the
event that the Transition Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 2 thereof,
or in the event of revocation as provided in Section 11(c) hereof, this
Consulting Agreement shall be void and of no legal force or effect.

      2. COMPENSATION.

            (a) In full payment for performance of the Services, the Company
      shall pay the Consultant a consulting fee, (the "Consulting Fee"), in an
      amount equal to Consultant's 2002 base salary ($200,000.00), plus earned
      incentive bonus as defined in Schedule A if any. For the purpose of
      calculating Consultant's earned incentive bonus, Company shall utilize the
      2002 quota of License Bookings and defined and set forth in Schedule A
      (the "2002 Quota").

            (b) Notwithstanding paragraph 2(a) above, in the event Consultant
      fails to achieve at least 90% of the 2002 Quota (the "Consulting Bonus
      Threshold"), the Consulting Fee will be based solely on the base salary
      paid to Consultant during 2002.

            (c) Notwithstanding paragraph 2(a) above, if Consultant achieves the
      Consulting Bonus Threshold during calendar year 2002, but achieves less
      than 100% of the 2002 Quota, the amount of Consulting Fee paid to
      Consultant will include 2002 base salary plus an earned incentive bonus
      calculated in accordance with the chart set forth in Schedule A. The
      earned incentive bonus will be calculated based on a quarterly number and
      the payment of the fourth quarter incentive bonus is not contingent on
      achieving the third quarter incentive bonus.

            (d) Notwithstanding paragraph 2(a) above and subject to paragraphs
      2(b) and 2(c) above, if the Consultant's employment pursuant to the
      Transition Agreement is terminated by the Company without cause prior to
      December 31, 2002, the Consulting Fee will be computed based on the full
      year 2002 base salary, plus the incentive bonus, if any, actually earned
      for his Services up to the Resignation Date, provided however, that the
      Consulting Bonus Threshold specified in paragraph 2(b) shall be
      recalculated as 90% of the 2002 Quota of License Bookings applicable to
      the period up to the Resignation Date.

            (e) The Consulting Fee shall be paid to Consultant on the last day
      of each month during the Consultancy Period in accordance with a schedule
      of equal monthly installments between twelve (12) and thirty-six (36)
      months to be agreed in writing between Consultant and the Company.

            (f) During the Consultancy Period, Consultant shall not be entitled
      to, and shall not receive, any of the benefits he had been receiving from
      the Company prior to the Resignation

<PAGE>

      Date, including, but not limited to, health or dental insurance and
      vacation accrual, except pursuant to COBRA at his cost if elected by the
      Consultant.

      3. NO OTHER COMPENSATION OR BENEFITS. Except as expressly set forth
herein, the Company shall not be obligated to pay any compensation or Benefits
to Consultant during the Consultancy Period. Consultant shall not continue to
vest during the Consultancy Period in the stock options granted to him prior to
the Resignation Date. Exercise of any options vested as of the Resignation Date
shall be governed by the terms of the applicable stock option plan(s) and the
option agreement(s) between Consultant and the Company. Consultant shall not
accrue any vacation entitlement during the Consultancy Period. The Company will
reimburse Consultant for properly documented business expenses in accordance
with the Company's policies therefor.

      4. TERMINATION

            (a) This Consulting Agreement will expire at the end of the
Consultancy Period, at which time Consultant and the Company agree that any and
all obligations which the Company may owe to the Consultant under this
Consulting Agreement or otherwise will terminate.

            (b) This Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time for
Cause, as that term is defined in the Transition Agreement. Upon termination for
Cause, the Company's sole obligation to Consultant shall be to pay a prorata
portion of the Consulting Fee due through the date of termination, which payment
shall be Consultant's sole and exclusive remedy on account of termination for
cause.

      5. CONTINUED EFFECTIVENESS OF NON-COMPETITION, NON-DISCLOSURE AND
INVENTIONS AGREEMENT. Consultant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the
Non-Competition, Non-Disclosure and Inventions Agreement dated 10/12/01 between
Consultant and the Company ("NDA") shall remain in full force and effect during
the Consultancy Period and thereafter in accordance with its terms and
applicable law. Such NDA is hereby incorporated by reference into this
Consulting Agreement.

      6. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. It is expressly understood and agreed that
during the term of this Consulting Agreement, the Consultant's relationship to
the Company will be that of an independent contractor, and that neither this
Consulting Agreement nor the Services to be rendered hereunder shall for any
purpose whatsoever or in any way or manner create, expressly or by implication,
any employer-employee relationship, partnership, joint venture or other
relationship with the Company, other than that of independent parties
contracting with each other solely for the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of this Consulting Agreement. Accordingly, Consultant acknowledges
and agrees that he shall not be entitled to any benefits provided by the Company
to its employees (including, without limitation, such items as health and
disability benefits, except this section will not affect Consultant's rights to
health and dental insurance pursuant to COBRA as set forth in Section 2 hereof.
The Consultant shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the payment of
all federal, state and local income taxes, for all employment and disability
insurance and for Social Security and other similar taxes with respect to the
Consulting Fee. The Consultant further agrees that if the Company pays or
becomes liable for such taxes or related civil penalties or interest as a result
of the Consultant's failure to pay taxes or report same, or due to the Company's
failure to withhold taxes, the Consultant shall indemnify and hold the Company
harmless for any such liability. The Consultant shall assume and accept all
responsibilities which are imposed on independent contractors by any statute,
regulation, rule of law or otherwise. Further, the Consultant understands and
agrees that the work to be performed is not covered under the unemployment
compensation laws and that the work to be performed is not intended to be
covered by applicable worker's compensation laws.

Company harmless from any and all claims, damages, liability, attorney's fees
and expenses on account of (i) an alleged breach of, or failure by Consultant to

Agreement; or (ii) any other act or omission of Consultant.
