Legal Question in Criminal Law in Indiana

My girlfriend and her ex-boyfriend got into a physical altercation a little over a year ago. Afterwards, based on family agreements, they both signed an agreement that said any pending legal action will be dropped (it was. she did not press charges). However, the last part of the agreement says "both parties agree to cease any and all contact. This includes contact via phone, electronic devices, in-person, through mutual acquaintances, etc. Should one party contact the other, the receiving party must end the conversation immediately (e.g. hang up on the other without engaging in dialog).". My girlfriend just started a new job and her ex-boyfriend has come into her place of employment twice in the past week. Does this count as contact and what can she legally do? Her ex-boyfriend was informed of where she worked and was offered her work schedule to avoid going there while she was working. He purposefully denied wanting to know her work schedule and stated he will go into her work whenever he wants despite the signed agreement that they will not contact each other. He has not said anything to her, but does stare at her while she is working. The first time she saw him at her work she started to have a panic attack as well. Can you please tell us what, if any, legal action we can take against him to insure he is not going into her place of work and endangering her employment as well as her physical and emotional well being?
Thank you.

Here is what she can do:

1. Ask the new employer to bar him from the premises.

2. Seek a protective order from her local courts.
