BLIMPIE INTERNATIONAL, INC., a New Jersey corporation (the "Company"), that are
parties hereto (each, a "Shareholder" and, collectively, the "Shareholders"),
and SANDWICH ACQUISITION CORP., a New Jersey corporation ("Newco").

      WHEREAS, Newco proposes to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated the date hereof (as amended from time to time, the "Merger Agreement";
capitalized terms being used herein as defined therein unless otherwise defined
herein), with the Company, which provides, among other things, that Newco will
merge with and into the Company (the "Merger");

      WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Shareholder is the record and
beneficial owner of the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share, of the Company (the "Company Common Stock"), set forth on the signature
page hereof beneath such Shareholder's name (with respect to each Shareholder,
such Shareholder's "Existing Shares" and, together with any shares of Company
Common Stock acquired after the date hereof, whether upon the exercise of
warrants, options, conversion of convertible securities or otherwise, such
Shareholder's "Shares"); and

      WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Newco to enter into the
Merger Agreement, Newco has requested that the Shareholders agree, and in order
to induce Newco to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Shareholders have
agreed, to enter into this Agreement.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE 1
                                VOTING AGREEMENT

      Section 1.1 Voting Agreement. Each Shareholder, severally and not jointly,
hereby agrees that, from and after the date hereof and until this Agreement
shall have been terminated in accordance with Article 5 hereof, at any meeting
of the Shareholders of the Company, however called, and in any action by consent
of the Shareholders of the Company, such Shareholder will vote (or cause to be
voted) such Shareholder's Shares: (a) in favor of the approval and adoption of
the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement and this Agreement and otherwise in such manner as may be
necessary to consummate the Merger; (b) except as otherwise agreed to in writing
in advance by Newco, against any action, proposal, agreement or transaction that
would result in a breach of any covenant, obligation, agreement, representation
or warranty of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement (whether or not
theretofore terminated) or of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement; and
(c) against any action, proposal, agreement or transaction that could result in
any of the conditions to the Company's obligations under the Merger Agreement
(whether or not theretofore terminated) not being fulfilled or that is intended,
or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere or be inconsistent with,
delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Merger Agreement (whether or
not theretofore terminated), the Merger or this Agreement, including, but not
limited to, any Acquisition Proposal (as such term is defined in the Merger
Agreement). Such Shareholder shall not enter into any agreement or understanding
with any person or entity to vote such Shareholder's shares or give instructions
in any manner inconsistent with this Section 1.1. The Shareholder acknowledges
receipt and review of a copy of the Merger Agreement.

      Section 1.2 Irrevocable Proxy. If any Shareholder fails to comply with the
provisions of


                                       1
<PAGE>

Section 1.1 (as determined by Newco in its sole discretion), such Shareholder
hereby agrees that such failure shall result, without any further action by such
Shareholder, in the irrevocable appointment of Newco, and each of its officers,
as such Shareholder's attorney and proxy, with full power of substitution, to
vote and otherwise act (by written consent or otherwise) with respect to such
Shareholder's Shares at any meeting of Shareholders of the Company (whether
annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting) or
consent in lieu of any such meeting or otherwise, on the matters and in the
manner specified in Section 1.1. THIS PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY ARE
IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER
APPLICABLE LAW, SHALL BE VALID AND BINDING ON ANY PERSON TO WHOM A SHAREHOLDER
MAY TRANSFER ANY OF HIS SHARES IN BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT. Each Shareholder
hereby revokes all other proxies and powers of attorney with respect to such
Shareholder's Shares that may have heretofore been appointed or granted, and no
subsequent proxy or power of attorney shall be given or written consent executed
(and if given or executed, shall not be effective) by any Shareholder with
respect thereto. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall
survive the death or incapacity of any Shareholder and any obligation of the
Shareholder under this Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns of such Shareholder.

      instrument or obligation to which Newco is a party or by which it or any
      of its properties is bound or affected, except in the case of clauses (ii)

<PAGE>

such Shareholder's Shares (or agree or consent to, or offer to do, any of the
foregoing), (ii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty
of such Shareholder herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect or have
the effect of preventing or disabling such Shareholder from performing his or
her obligations or, (iii) directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit or encourage
any person to take actions that could reasonably be expected to lead to the
occurrence of any of the foregoing.

      Section 4.3 No Solicitation of Transactions. Each Shareholder, severally
and not jointly, agrees that between (x) the thirty-day anniversary of the date
of this Agreement and (y) the earlier of the effective time of the Merger or the
date of termination of the Merger Agreement, such Shareholder will not (a)

thirty-day anniversary of the date of this Agreement, each Shareholder
immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions,
conversations, negotiations and other communications with any persons conducted
heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, that, the

null and void and have no further effect upon the earliest of: (a) the effective
time of the Merger; (b) the date of termination of the Merger Agreement in
accordance with its terms; and (c) by the written mutual consent of the parties

                                   ARTICLE 6
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      Section 6.1 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement
is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public
policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless
remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of
this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.
Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or
incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to
modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as
closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the terms of
this Agreement


                                       4
<PAGE>

remain as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

and deliver all such further documents and instruments and take all such further
action as may be necessary in order to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby.

irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was
not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be
entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other
remedy at law or in equity.

      Section 6.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between Newco and the Shareholders with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and
oral, between Newco and the Shareholders with respect to the subject matter
hereof.

an instrument in writing signed by all the parties hereto. Any party to this
Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations
or other acts of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any
document delivered by the other party pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance
with any of the agreements or conditions of the other party contained herein.
Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument
in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or
condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a
subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term
or condition, of this Agreement. The failure of any party to assert any of its
rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.
