Have a read of this support note on multibit.org which looks like it covers that error:

https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_support_blockStoreException.html

BlockStoreException

You see a BlockStoreException very occasionally when MultiBit starts. It prevents you synchronising with the Bitcoin network.

You can fix this problem by doing the following:

Find where MultiBit is storing your user data - see the help topic Troubleshooting

Shut down MultiBit

Go to your MultiBit user data directory - worked out in step 1 - and delete the file multibit.spvchain

Start up MultiBit again

It will then regenerate this file and start syncing. After it has synced you should see all your bitcoin in your wallet..
