The diagonals of a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ meet at point $L$. The orthocenter $H$ of the triangle $LAB$ and the circumcenters $O_1, O_2$, and $O_3$ of the triangles $LBC, LCD$, and $LDA$ were marked. Then the whole configuration except for points $H, O_1, O_2$, and $O_3$ was erased. Restore it using a compass and a ruler.
