Click on Save, then type in a filename with an ".obj" file extension. You can then import that back into Max.

Alternatively, click on "Update" and select the file you original loaded into UVLayout ... a copy of that file will be created with only the UVs modified, and this method preserves things like surface normals and materials.

And finally, have a look at the Max plugin here ...

It saves you the hassle of having to save and load OBJ files by hand; the plugin handles all of that for you.
