  Item 1.01.
  Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.
  Item 2.03.  Creation Of A Direct Financial
  Obligation Or An Obligation Under An Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement Of A
  Registrant.
  On May 6, 2008, Force Protection, Inc. (the "Registrant") and
  its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
  Force
  Protection Technologies, Inc. and Force Protection Industries, Inc.,
  entered
  into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the "Amended and Restated Loan
  Agreement") with Wachovia Bank, National Association ("Wachovia"), which
  amended and restated that certain Loan Agreement dated as of July 20, 2007
  by and between the Registrant and Wachovia.  
  Concurrently with the execution of the Amended and Restated Loan
  Agreement, the Registrant issued a promissory note to Wachovia in the original
  principal amount of $30,000,000 (the "Note"), which amended that certain
  promissory note issued to Wachovia on July 20, 2007.  Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Loan
  Agreement, the Registrant has agreed to certain terms that govern a revolving
  credit facility made available to the Registrant by Wachovia.
  The unpaid principal balance of the Note accrues interest at a floating
  rate per annum equal to the 1-month LIBOR market index rate plus 2.0%. 
  Accrued interest is due and payable on a monthly basis, starting on May 30,
  2008 and all outstanding principal is due and payable on October 31, 2008,
  unless extended by Wachovia.   Until
  October 31, 2008, the Registrant may borrow, repay and reborrow additional
  amounts from Wachovia under the Note, so long as the total principal balance
  outstanding under the Note does not exceed $30,000,000.  In connection
  with the issuance of the original promissory note on July 20, 2007, the
  Registrant also entered into a Security Agreement with Wachovia pursuant to
  which the Registrant granted Wachovia a security interest in all of its
  personal property and fixtures, of every kind and nature.  The Registrant has never borrowed any amounts
  under this credit facility.
  A
  copy of the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and Note are attached as
  Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are
