    Line 120 is actually

    $top_cat = split(':',$cat_tree);

    I’d suggest checking what $cat_tree is actually returning by dumping that string to the screen.

    <?php // get parent category
$category = get_the_category();
$cat_tree = get_category_parents($category[0]->term_id, FALSE, ':', TRUE);
echo $cat_tree;
/*
$top_cat = split(':',$cat_tree);
$parentObj = get_category_by_slug($top_cat[0]);
$parent = $parentObj->name;
*/
?>

    What output did you get for $cat_tree?

    In that case, you’re getting an error because $cat_tree is empty – which suggests that you’re trying to get the parents of a top-level category.

    Well, it might help if you described what you’re using this code for and where.
