Based on the exact specifications you provided, here's what you need along with the SKU's for Open Value License (which is the best pricing for your size company, must be acquired through a Microsoft Licensing Partner, and requires a three-year agreement... but payments are spread over three years). My calculation came to $9,235.00 per year for the following:
Quantity Product Part 2 Microsoft® Windows® Server Standard Win32 English License/Software Assurance Pack Microsoft Volume License P73-00205 120 Microsoft® Windows® Server CAL English License/Software Assurance Pack Microsoft Volume License User CAL R18-00130 1 Microsoft® Exchange Server Standard English License/Software Assurance Pack Microsoft Volume License 312-02176 120 Microsoft® Exchange CAL English License/Software Assurance Pack Microsoft Volume License User CAL 394-00529 1 Microsoft® Internet Security & Accel Server Standard Ed English License/Software Assurance Pack Microsoft Volume License 1 Processor License E84-00307 10 Microsoft® Windows® Terminal Svr CAL English License/Software Assurance Pack Microsoft Volume License User CAL R19-00129
One thing you didn't specify is the number of devices you have connecting to the servers. If you have multiple users sharing the same computer you would be able to use a DEVICE CAL instead of USER CAL for server access (Exchange would still need to be per user to have separate mailboxes) thus lowering the total number of CALs you need (at about $18.50 each per year per CAL).
