Public Sub DoSomething()
If ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Text = "" and ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Text = "New" Then Exit Sub
If ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Text = "" and not (ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Text = "New") Then
'Do stuff
End if
End Sub

NOTE: however, 1 1st IF is not necessary because if the 2nd IF is true, the 1st IF must be false

'This is all that is needed to satisfy your critira (unless you intend to do other combination checks, then go with the
1st solution)
Public Sub DoSomething()
If ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Text = "" and not (ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Text = "New") Then
'Do stuff
End if
End Sub

PS, watch for line breaks in the code samples above;
If ...blah...blah.... Then should be on 1 line.

If a2="" and c2="New"

If a2="" and c2 not equal to the word New then continue executing the
subroutine
