    horizontalCuts.sort()
    verticalCuts.sort()
    
    # Calculate maximum height difference between consecutive horizontal cuts
    max_h_diff = max(horizontalCuts[0], h - horizontalCuts[-1])
    for i in range(1, len(horizontalCuts)):
        max_h_diff = max(max_h_diff, horizontalCuts[i] - horizontalCuts[i-1])
    
    # Calculate maximum width difference between consecutive vertical cuts
    max_w_diff = max(verticalCuts[0], w - verticalCuts[-1])
    for i in range(1, len(verticalCuts)):
        max_w_diff = max(max_w_diff, verticalCuts[i] - verticalCuts[i-1])
    
    # Calculate the maximum area and return it modulo 10^9 + 7
    MOD = 10**9 + 7
    return (max_h_diff * max_w_diff) % MOD
