Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, operate and lease its assets, properties and businesses, and to carry on its businesses substantially as they have been and are now being conducted. Purchaser is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned or leased or the nature of the business transacted by it requires that it be so qualified, except where the failure to so qualify would not have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. Purchaser has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and, upon the receipt of all Regulatory Approvals, to consummate the Transaction.

3.2. Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Stock Purchase by Purchaser have been duly approved and authorized by all requisite corporate action. The Transaction Documents have been, or where applicable, will be, duly executed and delivered by Purchaser, and subject to the Regulatory Approvals, will constitute the valid and binding obligations of Purchaser, except to the extent that enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws or equitable principles and doctrines.

3.3. No Conflicts; Approvals. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents do not, and the consummation of the Transaction will not, conflict with or result in any violation of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Purchaser. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents do not, and the consummation of the Transaction will not, conflict with or result in any violation, breach or termination of, or default or loss of a material benefit under, or permit the acceleration of, any obligation or result in the creation of any material lien, charge or encumbrance on any of Purchaser’s property or assets under any provision of any mortgage, indenture, lease, agreement or other instrument, permit, concession, grant, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree or Applicable Law and Regulation, other than any such conflicts, violations, defaults or losses of benefits that individually or in the aggregate

do not have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, or that will be cured prior to the Closing Date. Except for the Regulatory Approvals, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Applicable Governmental Authority is required by or with respect to Purchaser in connection with the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents or the consummation of the Transaction, the absence of which would have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

3.4. Litigation. There is no Action pending or threatened against or affecting Purchaser, any of its assets or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents, in their capacities as such, which, if adversely determined, would have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, or which is seeking to enjoin consummation of the Stock Purchase or to obtain other relief in connection with this Agreement or the Stock Purchase, nor is there any judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of any Applicable Governmental Authority outstanding against Purchaser, any of its assets or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents, in their capacities as such, having, or which could reasonably be expected to have, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

3.5. Approval Delays. To Purchaser’s Knowledge, there is no reason why the granting of any of the Regulatory Approvals that Purchaser is required to obtain to consummate the Transaction would be denied or unduly delayed.

3.6. Financial Ability. Purchaser has the financial capability to consummate the Stock Purchase as contemplated in this Agreement.

3.7. Environmental Matters. Purchaser has received and reviewed the Environmental Site Assessment.

Purchaser is relying on its own plan of operations and financial forecasts for the Bank, and is not relying on any forecasted operating results or budgets prepared by or for the Bank.

3.10. Special Disclosure. Purchaser has no Knowledge of any basis on which the representations and warranties of Shareholder under Article IV are, or with the passage of time will become, untrue or inaccurate in any material respect.

RE:

Stock Purchase Agreement dated November , 2005 (the “Agreement”) between University Bancorporation, Inc. (“UBC”) and BankFinancial Corporation (the “Purchaser”)

Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to University Bancorporation, Inc. in connection with the Agreement and the sale of the capital stock (the Bank Stock) of University National Bank, Chicago, Illinois, a national banking association (the Bank) and the merger of the Bank into BankFinancial F.S.B. as contemplated by the Agreement (the Transaction). We are furnishing this opinion pursuant to Section 2.5(g) of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this opinion letter and not otherwise defined have the meanings given them in the Agreement.

For purposes of this opinion we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of and relied upon the following:

The executed Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules attached to it, the Bank Merger Agreement and the Non-Solicitation Agreement executed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (collectively referred to as the “Transaction Documents”).

The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of UBC;

The other agreements referred to in the exhibits and schedules to the Agreement;

Copies of certain resolutions adopted by UBC’s Board of Directors and Shareholders authorizing the execution and delivery of the Agreement and the sale of the Bank Stock; and

Certificates and other documents of public officials, officers and other representatives of the Bank, UBC and others we have deemed necessary or advisable as a basis for the opinions set forth below.

As to factual matters, we have relied solely and exclusively upon, and have assumed the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement, the closing certificate of UBC, certificates of public officials and representations made to us by representatives of UBC and the Bank. We have made no independent investigation of any of the facts stated in the Transaction Documents, the UBC closing certificate or in any other certificate or in the public records; however, nothing has come to our attention which would lead us to believe that any such facts are inaccurate or incomplete.

ASSUMPTIONS

For purposes of this opinion, we assume the following:

A. The genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the authenticity and conformity with the original documents of all documents submitted to us as telecopies, certified, photostatic or reproduced copies;

B. The authenticity and accuracy of all oral or written certifications and statements of fact upon which we are relying; and

C. The Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

OPINION

Based upon and subject to those assumptions and the qualifications set forth at the end of this opinion, we are of the opinion that:

1. UBC is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Illinois. The Bank is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America.

2. UBC has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into the Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated by it. Subject to the qualifications and limitations of the Transaction Documents, the Disclosure Schedules or in any Material Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement will not (a) conflict with or result in or constitute a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of UBC, or applicable provisions of any Law or (b) to our knowledge, conflict with or result in any material violation, breach or termination of or default or loss of a material benefit under, or permit the acceleration of, any obligation or result in the creation of any material lien, charge or encumbrance on the Bank Stock or any of the Bank’s property or assets under any provision of any Material Agreement or order of any court or Applicable Governmental Authority to which UBC or the Bank is bound that is set forth in the schedules to the Agreement or of which we have knowledge.

3. The execution and delivery of the Agreement by UBC and consummation of the transactions contemplated by it have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. The officers of UBC have been duly authorized to execute the Agreement and the other documents contemplated by the Agreement and to close the Transaction.

4. The Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of UBC, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

5. The execution, delivery and performance by UBC of the Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction, to our knowledge, require no permit, authorization or other action by, or filing with, any Governmental Agency by UBC or Bank other than those filings already made with the [[Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Department of Justice]], Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision.

6. The authorized capital stock of the Bank consists of 40,000 $10.00 par value shares of common stock, all of which are validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable. All of the Bank Stock is owned beneficially and of record by UBC. To our Knowledge, except for the Bank Stock, there are no shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the Bank outstanding or contracts, commitments, understandings or other obligations or arrangements by which the Bank is or may be bound to issue additional shares of its capital stock. To our knowledge, UBC has sold and transferred to Purchaser good and marketable title to the Bank Stock, free and clear of all pledges or liens [(except for a pledge of the Bank Stock to LaSalle Bank, N.A. to secure a loan in the original principal amount of $700,000 which will be repaid at Closing)], outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, rights, conversion rights, rights of first refusal or other agreements or commitments (i) obligating the Bank to issue or purchase shares of its capital stock or any security convertible into its capital stock, or (ii) obligating UBC to purchase, sell or transfer any capital stock of the Bank.

7. Upon transfer of the Bank Stock to Purchaser pursuant to the Agreement and payment of the Purchase Price, the Bank Stock will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

8. To our knowledge, there is no litigation, governmental proceeding or investigation, injunction, or similar judicial or administrative order in effect, pending, or threatened against UBC, the Bank, the Bank Stock or any of the property or assets of UBC or the Bank or the Shares except as disclosed in the Schedules to the Agreement and except for examinations conducted by the OCC in the ordinary course.

QUALIFICATIONS

A. Our opinion as to the enforceability of the Agreement is subject to the qualifications that (1) enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, and other similar laws and by general principles of equity, now or hereafter in effect, and in this regard we have assumed that you will exercise your rights and remedies under the Agreement in good faith and in circumstances and a manner which are commercially reasonable and (2) the remedies of specific performance and injunctive relief and other forms of equitable relief are subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding may be brought.

B. Whenever we state that our opinion with respect to the existence or absence of fact is based “on our knowledge” or is qualified by the phrase “to our knowledge” or “known to us”, our opinion is based solely on (i) the actual knowledge of attorneys currently with the firm who have represented UBC, (ii) the representations and warranties of UBC contained in the Agreement and (iii) the certificate of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. We have made no independent investigation as to factual matters. However, no information has come to our attention which would give us actual knowledge of the existence or absence of such fact. Whenever we have stated that we have assumed any matter, it means that we have assumed such matter without making a factual, legal or other inquiry and without expressing any opinion or conclusion of any kind concerning the matter. We have not undertaken a search of court dockets in any jurisdiction.

C. We express no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of Illinois.

D. We express no opinion regarding any provision regarding indemnification to the extent the same may be violative of public policy. We have not reviewed and do not opine as to (i) ERISA laws, rules and regulations, or (ii) Federal or state taxation, securities or “blue sky” laws, rules or regulations. We express no opinion as to compliance or non-compliance by any person with the anti-fraud provisions of state and federal laws, rules and regulations concerning the issuance of securities.

E. This opinion letter is limited to the matters expressly stated and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.

F. This opinion is being furnished to you and may be relied upon by you solely in connection with the Transaction, and for no other purpose. This opinion may not be relied upon by or furnished to any other Person for any purpose without our prior written consent, except that you may furnish a copy to your attorneys. This opinion is given as of the date above, and we assume no obligation to advise you of any changes which might hereafter come to our attention.

He is a shareholder of University Bancorporation, Inc. and has a financial interest in it and the Transaction. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, also a partner in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇, is a director of University National Bank and holds director qualifying shares in University Bancorporation, Inc.
