Validation rule..help pls

Validation Rule

 

If Fields 'Test ID  2','Test ID 3' ,'Test ID  4','Test ID 5'  are filled in and the  Termination  Date is AFTER the  Activation Date, then a rule shall be in place that the  Activation Date field cannot have a value AFTER the Termination Date.

 

what should be the code to achieve this..These all fields are on the same object.

 

Thanks for the help in advance
