Adding additional condition to Cell Formula

I am using the following to convert a value to a negative number from cell (E2) into a new cell (D2) when cell (I2) equals "Discover" and it works fine.  But I want to add an exception to not convert to negative into (D2) if another cell (J2) value has(equals) "Payment".  If it does equal "Payment" just Set (D2) to (E2).

For a cell D2 I am using the following with success:

=IF(I2="Discover",(E2*(0-1)),E2)

Now I want to add another condition(or exception) to the above:  Even if I2 is "Discover" but cell J2 has "Payment" then just set D2 to E2 (even when (I2) is "Discover"

Appreciate any tips, Thank You

      Thank you Sergei, i tried this as a cell logical formula but it errored out saying to many arguments.  I messed around with parentheses a bit trying to make a single statement but no luck.

        Got it working using the following:
        =IF(AND(D67="Discover",E67="PAYMENT"),0,G67*(0-1))
        And I added another value of zero. Thanks for your help. Set me on the right trail. Bought a book - haha See sample data output below.
