It's unclear whether the second "stipulate" is to be done by "your client" or by "we" (as fringey suggested). Either way, it's "stipulate."

I was a smartass kid and my mother is a control-freak. Anyway, one day I was being surly and I told her that I was in a bad mood. She responded with "you're not allowed to have moods in this house!" Anyhoo, I came back with, "so I'm not allowed to use the subjunctive?" And then we laughed. Oh how we laughed.
This is a true story. My family really is this retarded (hi Penske!).
