Why didn't N start with hearts? He (if N is female, I apologize) bid spades, but notwithstanding S puts 3♡ on the table in a non forcing position. After east's 2NT S can remain silent and pass, but for N it must be abvious the S has hand with very good hearts and no spade support. But N still leads spades. That's blatant use of UI, the information being the non alert of the 2♡ bid of N. North knows from that,that S has forgotten the agreement, which is also clear from his statement at the end of the hand, and shouldn't use that. But he does which is a serious infraction and deserves a slap on the wrist.
Now for the score, assuming N starts hearts. If these are no such good players, S might play the king, giving EW three hearts tricks, two spades, four clubs and at least one diamond trick, resulting in 3NT+1. Even if S plays the 10 in the first trick, it's still 2 hearts tricks, so 3NT=.
