Do Exchange 2013 CALs cover an Exchange 2010 Exchange server?

We have an Exchange 2010 server with 75 user CAL's.
We are adding several dozen more users soon, and will need additional CALs.... but I would rather get the new CAL's for Exchange 2013. (So when we upgrade the the server we won't need to re-purchase those CALs)

I know 2012 Server CAL's cover you for 2008 server, but I can't find any documentation on Microsofts website that the Exchange 2013 CAL's will have me in compliance with an Exchange 2010 server.

Does anyone know if that documentation exists?

Calling Microsoft for licensing questions is a joke.

Myself and another tech called separately, for the same question.... both got a different answer.
Neither of us thought to get it in writing, because we didn't know the other was calling too, and going to get a different answer lol.

I was hoping that I could save a snip directly from MS website.

Anyway, since no one has found a link... my question remains unanswered. But will distribute the points between responders.
