It had to be more than 10% because of the following:


1- In the first agreement between Merck & Ariad, it was reported that Ariad would receive a "double digit" royalty on sales of Rida.


2- As part of the revised agreement, I recall Harv saying that Ariad's royalty would be increase by 5%


Therefore, 20% sounds both reasonable and plausible.
