Flaws and Alternate Powers

Bob (and the other M&M experts)
I'm working on a villain who has a 2pp/rank primary power with a -1pp/rank flaw and five alternate powers. Assuming 10 ranks in the primary power, that yields a cost of 20pp (10 ranks x 2 pp for the power) -10pp (-1 per rank for the flaw) = 10pp + 5pp for the five alternate powers
So my question is ... how many power points do I have for the alternative powers? 20, because that's the true cost of the power before the flaw, or only 10 because of the flaw.
I'm assuming 20 because that feels right; otherwise the relatively minor -1 pp flaw becomes pretty serious.
