This would indicate that the $date variable doesn't contain a valid DateTime value. The documentation states that createFromFormat will return FALSE if the function fails, so you probably need to add a check to see whether $date is FALSE.

It might be worth checking the value of $mult3['ex_dates'] to ensure that it's not null and matches the exact format of "Y-m-d" as well.
