Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 30, 2010, Max UK Holdings Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Max Capital Group Ltd., as Account Party and Applicant, and Max Capital Group Ltd. ("Max"), as Guarantor, entered into an Amending and Restating Agreement Relating to a Credit Facility Agreement dated 13 October 2008 (the "A&R Facility") with the Banks and Financial Institutions listed on the Schedules thereto, as Banks, and ING Bank N.V., London Branch as Agent, Issuing Bank and Security Trustee.

The A&R Facility will only take effect upon the closing of the amalgamation of Alterra Holdings Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Max, and Harbor Point Limited ("Harbor Point"). It will continue to provide up to GBP 90 million for the issuance of letters of credit to provide funds at Lloyd’s to support Lloyd’s syndicate commitments and will continue to be partially secured by investment and cash collateral.

The A&R Facility increases certain commissions and fees paid by Max UK Holdings Ltd., including, among other commissions and fees, fees paid on outstanding letters of credit and fees paid on undrawn commitments, and modifies certain additional terms.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the A&R Facility, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
This filing includes statements about future economic performance, finances, expectations, plans and prospects of Max and Harbor Point, both individually and on a consolidated basis, that constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by such statements. For further information regarding
cautionary statements and factors affecting future results of Max, please refer to the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K (as amended by Max’s Form 10-K/A on March 12, 2010), Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed subsequent to the Annual Report and other documents filed by Max with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the case of Harbor Point, please refer to the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by Max with the SEC. These documents are also available free of charge, in the case of Max, by directing a request to Max through Joe Roberts, Chief Financial Officer, or Susan Spivak Bernstein, Senior Vice President, Investor Relations, at 441-295-8800 and, in the case of Harbor Point, by directing a request to Gayle Gorman, Senior Vice President, at 441-294-6743. Neither Max nor Harbor Point undertakes any obligation to update or revise publicly any forwardlooking statement whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

This filing contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs, plans or expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on Max’s or Harbor Point’s current plans, estimates and expectations. Some forward-looking statements may be identified by use of terms such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar words, terms or statements of a future or forward-looking nature. In light of the inherent risks and uncertainties in all forward-looking statements, the inclusion of such statements in this filing should not be considered as a representation by Max, Harbor Point or any other person that Max’s or Harbor Point’s objectives or plans, both individually and on a consolidated basis, will be achieved.

A non-exclusive list of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements includes the following: (a) the occurrence of natural or man-made catastrophic events with a frequency or severity exceeding expectations; (b) the adequacy of loss reserves and the need to adjust such reserves as claims develop over time; (c) the failure of any of the loss limitation methods the parties employ; (d) any lowering or loss of financial ratings of any wholly owned operating subsidiary; (e) the effect
of competition on market trends and pricing; (f) cyclical trends, including with respect to demand and pricing in the insurance and reinsurance markets; (g) changes in general economic conditions, including changes in interest rates and/or equity values in the United States of America and elsewhere; and (h) other factors set forth, in the case of Max, in its recent reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and
other documents of Max on file with the SEC and, in the case of Harbor Point, in the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by Max with the SEC.

Risks and uncertainties relating to the proposed amalgamation include the risks that: (1) the parties will not obtain the requisite shareholder or regulatory approvals for the transaction; (2) the anticipated benefits of the transaction will not be realized; (3) the parties may not be able to retain key personnel; (4) the conditions to the closing of the proposed amalgamation may not be satisfied or waived; and (5) the outcome of any legal proceedings to the extent initiated against Max or Harbor Point or its respective directors and officers following the
announcement of the proposed amalgamation is uncertain. These risks, as well as other risks of the combined company and its subsidiaries, may be different from what the companies expect and each party’s management may respond differently to any of the aforementioned factors. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the amalgamation, are more fully discussed in the definitive joint proxy
statement/prospectus included in the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by Max with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made.
